I was really excited when I found this list because, you know, it is a very hard job to find people that have interest in retunings. I personally just hav e a electric fletless bass and a fletless classic guitar (tuned c,d,g,e,a,g>>> closed harmony) and can just control a cheap FM sound module with an ollllllll d MSX computer(to play retuned sounds). My friend HITOMI SHIMIZU is running a rock band named SYZYGYS and is using organ (it's a curio) retuned under HARRY' s 43-tone method. It sound really friendly and that's the reason why I began to get rid of FLETS of my string instruments . The other influence had been given to me by a post-minimalist(?) GLEN BRANCA when I made an interview for a MAG called KEYBOARD SPECIAL. He pointed out th at the asian people used to play music based on upper harmonics. In JAPAN we h ave a traditional intrument called SHO which is something like a compact bambo o organ. It makes a very very closed harmony but becomes an AIR for me. Well I think this has something to do with what G LEN said. Hmm...want to write more but I think I taking too much space for a private m essage. Looking forward to learn a lot from this list. SEE-YOU!
