First how can this be meaused. secound what is the suposed threshold of this perception of a "middle" pitch. As someone who has been working with beats I don't hear it this way at all. Also in regard to the history of microtonal music in xenharmonikon XVII , there is the whole ethnocentric problem that everyone else in the world has been exploring microtones all along. Isd it really relevant. Wolf omissions are to be noted but why not include any and all percussion music. Soon or later it becomes so inclusive that the term microtonal becomes meaningless. -- Kraig Grady North American Embassy of Anaphoria Island http://www.anaphoria.com
