Scott ° How To get Your Web Host Screaming The Microtonal Wave By Johnny Reinhard There's a new kid on the music scene, "microtonal music." Well, maybe not so new, and perhaps not on your block, but clearly in the ascendancy. Not a musical style per se (e.g., rock, jazz, classical), microtonal music results from a philosophical aesthetic of musical intervals. To begin with some brief definitions: An interval is the musical feel of the space (difference in pitch) between two notes. An octave is the interval between a note and a second note with half or twice its frequency(think of the first two notes of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow.)" The diatonic scale (do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-si-do), the basis for the major and minor keys in Western music, progresses through seven notes over the course of an octave. A semitone (essentially, half the in-terval between two consecutive tones on the diatonic scale) is the interval formed by the closest adjacent keys on a keyboard. A microtone is any of a number of notes between notes. (The Microtonal Wave)
