After reading the excellent historical and geographical overview of microtonality in the US by Brian McLaren: http://w3.teaser.fr/~daschour/usa.html ..., I've decided to disband the little triple-just mailing list I started and to start another specifically for just intonation in general (as opposed to various equal-tempered non-12-tone scales, and non-just, non-equal-tempered scales), since that's the area that I'm most specifically interested in. This will provide a smaller and more specific alternative to the Mills College alternate tunings mailing list. I think the whole field really suffers from a lack of publicity and public relations, and being a publicity wonk myself, I definitely want to do something about that. So I'll be publicizing this new mailing list on 8 usenet newsgroups, and my publicity notices will also include links to the Mills College alternate tunings mailing list page at the Just Intonation web site (for those who aren't aware of it's existance), the introduction to just intonation at the same web site, as well as Brian McLaren's article. Hopefully, this will kill 3 birds with one stone, and be in the best interests of everybody. I also want to create a just intonation-specific web page with more precise links to specific articles than there are at the Just Intonation web page. As long as I'm going to be doing all this research for my own use, I might as well create an archive of links to the best writings on just intonation on the web while I'm at it. Please let me know by private e-mail which articles on the web you think are the best regarding just intonation. Thanks.
