I'll leave you be miss jancivil (if that's what you want to be called). You are smart... just a little too smart. My point is... don't forget to rock. It's supposed to be fun. You can outsmart yourself.

I think miss jancivil might have been trying to give me this music... which is very good. I love it... but 53 is a pitch variation of a harmonic 12... It's just detuned chromatic.

I always wanted to hear a meeting of musical minds between Frank Zappa and Sun Ra- how would Frank have arranged this, for example? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCO8WQXbloc

Discontinue use if rash or irritation develops.

The musical practice it's mostly derived from tends to be 5, 6 or 7 note bases. It's about shading and inflection to show 53.
Danielou's 22 shrutis is 12 with 10 alternates at a syntonic comma remove from the other; to ensure pure fifths relationship in a line.

There are reasons, it's thought-through and a life's work.

The link is to the UVI instrument, which is free.

FTR, I go around typically wishing for a lot more brain power than I have.

two leaders, would probably clash. But if he produced it for a job...

There is a hilarious story about Bob Dylan showing up at Zappa's house one day, walking from wherever his place was, to talk about producing his new record.

FZ had Archie Shepp join him onstage a couple times I know about, 69 and 84.

I listened to him for years. Brothers loved him
My favorite has always been One Size Fits All
still play Inca Roads regularly because it has all the brilliance of his musical genius minus so much of the juvenile lyrics
I know a big chunk of his material is comical and meant to be,but some is str8 up middle high school humor

I also like One Size Fits All because it has

I hadn't heard that in decades, I think.
Boulez had him a tight little group, isn't it.
