Not to be confused with lambeth chords nor 1573/1568, the lambeth comma.

Those are unrelated to me. The similar name is only a coincidence.

Most tracks on Bandcamp have not yet been uploaded to YouTube and vice versa.

Invented scales

Invented regular temperaments



Improvements

Large page creations

Bulk page improvements

  • Constructed the 5-, 6-, 7-, 8-, 9- and 12-period tables on the map of rank-2 temperaments, and substantially added to the 2-, 3- and 4- tables also
  • Added list of sources and inline citations for the historical temperaments page
  • Added categories & prepared format tags to several hundred pages with Scala files
  • Added intro, intervals table and harmonics table to several hundred equal-step tuning pages (which used to just be blank pages with a single infobox)
  • Added infobox, intro, modes & subheadings to dozens of MOS scale pages
  • Merged “useful tools” & “software” into one unified page
  • Added links around the wiki to over a hundred previously orphaned pages

Comma documentation and organisation

  • Added all missing commas from “Category:Large commas” to the table on the page “Large commas”
  • Added all missing commas from “Category:Medium commas” to the table on the page “Medium commas”
  • Added all missing commas from “Category:Small commas” to the table on the page “Small comma”
  • Added all missing commas from “Category:Unnoticeable commas” to the table on the page “Unnoticeable commas”
  • Constructed “Category:Commas by name” and its many subcategories
  • Categorised all 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23 and >23 limit large commas into ’Commas by name’ subcategories
  • Categorised all 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23 and >23 limit medium commas into ’Commas by name’ subcategories
  • Categorised all 5, 7 and 11 limit small commas into ’Commas by name’ subcategories
  • Categorised all 5, 7, 11 and 13 limit medium commas into ’Commas by name’ subcategories

Pre-existing names I improved

In all these cases I ran my rename proposals by the other editors on Discord and the talk page first before enacting them.

  • The “septimal temperament” was an extension of jamesbond temperament which had a name that was too easily confused with other unrelated music theory concepts using the word ‘septimal’. I renamed it to the “austinpowers temperament” to solve this.
  • The “catcall temperament” was a temperament with an offensive and nasty name. I renamed it to “catnip temperament” to solve this.
  • The name “the shikanokonokonokokoshitantanma” was too long for some use cases, so I invented an alternate short version - “the nokotan” - to solve this.
  • The previous namer of the “erogluisma” no longer liked that name and wanted someone to rename it. I named it the “shaftesburisma”.
  • The comma “68630377364883 / 68630356164608” was too long to be referred to by its number alone and needed a name so I named it “the zudilisma”.



Full list of contributions

(To-do)

Things I plan to do on the wiki in the near future:

  • Categorise all 13, 17, 19, 23 and >23 limit small commas into ’Commas by name’ subcategories
  • Categorise all 17, 19, 23 and >23 limit unnoticeable commas into ’Commas by name’ subcategories
  • Continue to build Systematic comma names explained
  • Answer all the outstanding FAQ questions, and ask and answer some new ones too, to make the FAQ more complete and up to par with the rest of the wiki.
  • Clean up my 5- to 10-tone scales pages. In particular, change the scales to be in the more compact format that is used on edo pages.



Random stuff I’d like to share

Ratios as planets

The ratios of the octave as celestial bodies of the solar system:

  • 2/1, the sun, defining the overall structure of the entire octave.
  • 3/2, Jupiter, the biggest pull aside from the sun itself. Marks out a rough middle of the solar system.
  • 4/3, Saturn, a kind of echo of Jupiter. Vast and mighty in its own right, similar to Jupiter, but colder and subtler.
  • 5/3, Uranus, has a strong enough pull to be one of the big guys, but markedly smaller than Jupiter and Saturn. Has a gentle appearance.
  • 5/4, Neptune, the last of the giant planets, with their huge gravitational pull. Has an energetic, lively surface with the fastest winds in the solar system. Defines the boundary of the Kuiper Belt (like the boundary of major and minor tonality).
  • 6/5, Earth, a small planet that punches above its weight. It manages to hold an unreasonably large moon, given the small gravitational influence it has. It even developed life and sent probes to explore the other planets. It has far more influence than it seems like it should.
  • 7/4, Venus, a kind of parallel version of Earth. Its diameter and gravitational pull are almost identical to Earth, but its character is completely different. Home to a completely different temperature, chemical composition and volcanic system.
  • 7/5, Mars, appears barren and frozen upon first glance, but looking closer reveals a rich and storied history, and potential wonders and microcosms hidden in its underground caves.
  • 8/5, Mercury. Caught in a region of the solar system so wild that much of its mass has been stripped away by the solar wind while it was still forming. Still, it holds firm, a foothold in difficult territory.
  • 7/6, the moon. Caught in Earth’s orbit, it’s difficult to view separately from the Earth’s influence. If the Earth wasn’t there, it’d be a whole planet in its own right.
  • 9/5, Ceres. It doesn’t pull much weight on its own, but in the context of the wider solar system, it demarcates an important in-between point for the other planets. If you want to travel between the different planets, Ceres makes the journey much more pleasant.
  • 11/8, Pluto, often dismissed outright due to having such a tiny gravitational pull. But it is a whole other type of ‘planet’, the first of a whole new family. When approached on its own terms, it opens up a larger, more diverse solar system than we ever knew existed.

——Chords

These chords work particularly well if you drop the root note down an octave, better mimicking the shape of the harmonic series.

(e.g you can play "chord 0-15-19-20-21-22-23" instead of "chord 0-3-7-8-9-10-11")
