Last Sacrament - On the Possible Preserved Visual Consciousness in Blindsight






   '...Blindsight' is a five-track experimental album in 'Lemba' temperament using 16-tone guitars tuned to what is known as "tritones" (7/5 or 10/7) in traditional western music theory... This is to be one of the first metal albums to make heavy use of septimal harmony....
Release is March 2014.

Microtonal Scale books for guitar!

31-tone equal temperament scale books for guitar available again!
I have charted almost all the MOS scales in equal temperaments 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 31, 41, and 46. These look like the charts below in my earlier posts.
Some books are bigger than other but most are around 150-200 pages of just scales, chord scale examples, and quick reference information on the tuning and temperaments in each system. These references guide the reader to an understanding of music perception through the lens of western musical categories, while offering new staff notation and theory for new scales. Many of these document for the first time various types of staff possibilities which meet the theoretical consensus of the tuning list and the xenharmonic community at large.
