source file: mills2.txt Date: Sun, 17 Nov 1996 11:48:09 -0800 Subject: Miscellaneous From: John Chalmers I did some WEB browsing yesterday and discovered that there is a 30 minutes VHS video of Cris Forster performing on his unique set of custom-built instruments in JI. Cris played in the Partch Ensemble and has constructed a an orchestra of instruments according to his own designs. Among these are the Chrysalis, a large rotating, circular harmonic canon, and several tuned percussion instruments. See XH 7&8 for color pictures and description. Anyway, the video "Music Wood Steel & Glass" is available from Richard Gaikowsky, One Way Media 1035 Guerrero, San Francisco 94110. The URL is http://www.slip.net/~richgaik/cris.html. I haven't seen it, but it sounds very interesting. I think a great program of tuning videos might consist of this, Partch's "Dreamer ," and the Lou Harrison video (which, alas, I haven't seen either). I also came accross Arnold Dreyblatt's "Animal Magnetism" in JI. described at http://kochint.com/Tzadik.html. Brian asked me to post a question about CD-ROM generating software for a proposed intonation disk. Is there a greater need for MAC or PC compatible CD-ROMs and is there any way to convert one format to another without having to completely do the CD over? (I'm not sure I understand the problem well enough to be asking the right question.) I got email from a Thomas J. Burh at SonicArtz Software concerning microtonal notation for a software project his company is doing. I referred him to Paul Rapoport (and LYME) and suggested he join the list and read the archives. Any other suggestions?
