Music update
Jan. 27th, 2010 11:03 pmIt's been a while since I posted about my ongoing amateur fumbling in the world of music.
I'm proud to say that I've almost mastered the thirteen-and-a-half tone Glyptolydian or "joy buzzer" scale. My remaining problem is a difficulty hearing the subtle difference between the outer centering monad and the overlay or "ghost voice" of Chord Seven, which I know was substituted for it in some experimental 1940s compositions by Hein and Szondy. I understand there's a bit of a holy war going on between advocates of inverted intonation, which may render the question moot, and partisans of the conventional clockwise temperament which prevailed during the toneless parallelist movement of the postwar years.
The second toe-valve on my Kleinchen-Comeau 8S keeps sticking, no matter how much loosening compound I apply (I use Dr. Krenk's Original, medium grade; is this appropriate?) The connecting rod to the fine-tuning machine at the two-meter level seems to be binding on a protrusion from the steam condenser.
This always used to work smoothly, no matter how hard I strummed or worked the mouth lever, and I think there's something I'm missing here. It's possible that I damaged the baffle sections by the incident last month when I did the suite of Baekelite conditioning applications in the reverse order. Is this easy to get repaired? Is it just a loose O-ring? Also the Muppaphone is getting cranky.
