source file: mills2.txt Date: Tue, 26 Nov 1996 08:29:18 -0800 Subject: Good Auditory Website From: John Starrett All- Check out this auditory website http://www.music.mcgill.ca/auditory/Auditory.html Also, thanks Johnny for the lurker invitation. Some interesting people are lurking here! Although I contribute thoughts from time to time, I have never introduced myself, so I will take the demi-lurker's prerogative and compose a short introduction. I am a recovering professional musician (12tet for the money for 20 years) finishing a long overdue PhD in mathematics (dynamical systems and chaos) at the University of Colorado at Denver. I am also a luthier but I now confine my practice almost exclusively to microtonal guitars and basses (PaulE take note--I am getting the parts order wrapped up this thurs!). I once won Guitar Player Magazines weirdest guitar contest for a combination ant farm Telecaster (the Ant-o-caster, what else?) that had pickups for the ant sounds in addition to the regular pickups. Tommy Tedesco was the last known owner. Does anyone know where it is now? I currently play bass for the Neil Haverstick Band (19, 31, 34 et) and am writing an article on just tuning schemes for the justly fretted StarrBoard, a chromatic-string, chromatic-fret tapping matrix (see Experimental Musical Instruments Dec. 1990 and 1/1 Feb. 1991). There. That wasn't so hard. How about you other lurkers and non lurkers. Who are you and what are you doing?
