really? perhaps the only real grasp of music tonality theory i have is my bass, then. i'm a natural bass player - been playing for about 11 years now. i only picked it back up a year or so ago and started diddling with it. now i'm having psycho fun with it. ever since i recently read an interview with wendy carlos from a few years back where she was talking about the making of _switched-on bach 2000_ and how she had to set up completely alternate tuning systems for some of his classics, i've been all over this alternate tuning business. currently, my bass is well-tempered, but after this email i'm tempted to try some microtonal tunings (a programmable bass tuner was the best $90 i ever spent). ;)
