    Microtonal Music

    Besides mathematics and physics, my greatest love is music, especially microtonal music. Microtonal music is any music whose tonal resources do not depend on the twelfth root of two. I am a recovering musician and instrument builder: I have played music and built instruments for most of my life, and made my living at it for many years.

    email me, but check the address first for instructions.
