Good Day!

today's offering is an exploration of harmony in Wendy Carlos' Alpha Tuning

"Wendy CARLOS experiments with scales like her ALPHA - tuning scale that uses equal steps of 78 cents. This tuning produces perfect fifths and fourths, major and minor thirds, and minor sevenths that are very close to pure in any key."

Hi Sam, thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

You may find this article by Wendy good reading.

I'm really getting interesting in the work she's done.

Yep, she's great. Do you know 'Sonic Seasonings' ? It's a milestone as far as I'm concerned.

Assuming it is an album I've not heard it.

However, what I'm reading from the website is impressive and well thought out.

This alpha tuning is just great too as far as I'm concerned.
