To me, this song sounds exactly like baby animals learning how to walk. I kind of want to produce a nature documentary now just for that reason.

I love Monk's collection of hats. If you look at his videos on YouTube, you will see a vast array of hats (like this Chinese inspired one or others from around the world). He was one cool cat. That's for sure.

It's 60 notes in 12 tone equal temperament system on 5 octaves actually. 12*5 = 60.

A short google-ing of the terms "common note ambiguity" (but I guess you're getting at enharmonics) and "comma caused ambiguity" leads to no relevant results, this could only be the case if those terms are rarely used in musicology or that are specific to that book of yours. Therefore it's not fair to assume that people will know those terms unless you express that you assume people have read it

Part 2:

Of course these subjective values cannot be completely eliminated but then that's why I wrote "strive to be". Spiritual and therefore subjective values have no place in music analysis unless it's regarded as a factor that is also analysed objectively (otherwise it would be difficult to analyse Coltrane's later works for example).

Part 1:

I have no problem with mixing spirituality and jazz. What I do have a problem with though is non-objectiveness in the analysis of the music because otherwise it's not a scientific analysis. In my opinion musicology should strive to be a science (social science) and therefore not include subjective values in the analysis of music.

@ohmphthschwrhu 30 notes available within 5 octaves.the more you deviate from this single series from a single string or node, the more entropy is added to the system and we haven't even gotten to common note ambiguiteis, comma caused ambiguities and a shitty(i love it cause i love art)tuning system YET, and im dealing with a roland phantom g6 compared to you fansy yamaha grand.stop being arrogant professor.'piratebay' the book.Up bubble now,hope i dont get the 'bends' whew! ;D;D

[ohmphthschwrhu]

@rbnlenin resilience..so what happens when you mix spirituality and jazz.

Why especially if you're young? Interesting creation myth there, I like that one where God creates the universe as a celestial quiche lorraine.

[ohmphthschwrhu]

@ohmphthschwrhu IMAGINE.god takes 2 poles and anchors them in space .he takes an infinite guitar string and ties it to the poles and pulls the string tight .he plucks the string and this world comes into existence.do you see the big bang/big crunch dynamic in this proverbial string?shall i call hydrogen my fundamental tone?helium my duplicator?carbon my triplicator etc.if what you believe makes you dogmatic fine but you can disbelieve it at anytime.especially if you're young.

@ohmphthschwrhu

I'll do it on one condition, that you write a bit more eloquent comments.

@rbnlenin look get this book and you'll get what im saying.the equal tempered scale is WAY! worse than you think.this book shows dydemic commas,pythagorean commas,the diesis comma,the diaschisma comma etc..its gives full examples throughout.it cost me $45 bucks u.s. .its too much to explain. its the best theory ever. absolutely worth it.
