Pearl street )) at 8:00 PM. To my friends, JOHN SCHNEIDER, on Just intonated classical guitar; JOHNNY REINHARD, bassoon, and members of the American Festival of Microtonal Music, NYC Mayumi Reinhard, kbds; David Eggar, cello; Guy Tyler, bass; and others, NEIL HAVERSTICK band (Hstick, 19 and 34 tone guitar; John Starrett, 19/34 bass; Ernie Crews, percussion. Art tries to express the subjective by means of objective elements. It always includes the presence of something irrational and although we permanently try to rationalize, there will always be something hidden which belongs to the artist and which even he doesn't know. Microtonalism is a tool used "to say" better the music but necessarily the cold number needs to fly through the air, in waves, to get to the ears of the persons who don't know Pithagoras (Do I know ?), 3/2 and family, cents, stretchings and etc, etc. So we, the 3 or 4 hundred fans of the Tuning List need to make MUSIC to justify our work. As I said before, the next big step which we, the microtonalists, need to take is to contribute to the development of microtonal instruments, if they are acoustic much better. In this way, common people will start to compose microtonal music using fixed intonation instruments and in time, practical microtonalism will be rationalized. MICROSTOCK FESTIVAL was a big event where each one of us was present with our hearts and minds.
