Scale of the Day: F Locrian diminished 4 mapped to the Square-root-of-2

FLocrianDiminished4MappedToTheSquareRootOf2

The F Locrian diminished 4 mapped to the Square-root-of-2 Scale. This one is a steady sequence of 100-cent "semitones" (sonically equivalent to an equal tempered chromatic scale) except for the two quarter-tones at the second and third scale degrees. It's as if the initial 100-cent scale degree split into two tones - both 50-cents flat and sharp.

Hi,

I can't seem to find your email address, so I'm leaving an offtopic comment. Sorry for that.

I subscribe to your blog and so decided to contact you to see if I could get you to write about my latest project. I'm working on a series of short commissioned pieces. I see this as a way to increase public participation in new music and to create a post-copyright economic model for musicians. Right now, I'm offering the commissions via ebay. Apparently, I'm only the second composer to try this. My listings are here: http://cgi.ebay.com/Commission-a-short-piece-of-experimental-music_W0QQitemZ170095228062QQcmdZViewItemQQssPageNameZRSS:B:SRCH:US:101 and here: http://cgi.ebay.com/Commission-a-short-piece-of-experimental-music_W0QQitemZ170095232045QQcmdZViewItemQQssPageNameZRSS:B:SRCH:US:101

my 'manifesto' is here: http://celesteh.blogspot.com/2007/03/ebay.html

If you want to email me for any reason, it's celesteh AT gmail DOT com.

btw, I really like your scale of the day. It would be cool if you had an accompanying podcast or mp3 link.

Thanks for your time!
