About this product

Product Information

This book explores the emerging area of microtonality through an examination of the tuning theories of Erv Wilson. It is the first publication to offer a broad discussion of this influential theorist whose innovations have far-reaching ramifications for microtonal tuning systems. This study addresses the breadth and complexity of Wilson's work by focusing on his microtonal keyboard designs as a means to investigate his tuning concepts and their practical applications. Narushima examines materials ranging from historical and experimental tunings to instrument design, as well as musical applications of mathematical theories and multidimensional geometry. The volume provides an analysis of some of Wilson's most significant theoretical ideas, including the Scale Tree, Moments of Symmetry, Constant Structures, and Combination-Product Sets. These theories offer ways to conceptualize musical scales as patterns with structural integrity and whose shapes can be altered to produce infinitely varying forms. The book shows how these structural properties can be used to map scales onto a microtonal keyboard by providing step-by-step guidelines and clearly illustrated examples. Most importantly, it brings together theoretical and practical methods of tuning to enable composers, performers, and instrument designers to explore previously uncharted areas of microtonality, making a significant contribution to the fields of music theory, composition and music technology.

    This is a seller I have no hesitation in recommending and I would purchase from them again. The item was exactly as described and very well packaged. The item was not delivered within the suggested time frame but this was most definitely not the fault of the seller. The seller responded to my query of the delayed delivery politely, promptly and professionally.

    Item as described and well packaged. One problem I encountered was the delivery, the courier left the parcel at the wrong address and it took me a while to locate it. I contacted both the courier and the seller. The seller was very helpful and quick in responding. I definitely recommend the seller.

    Initially reached out to the seller and the item came within the time frame given. The seller was very patient and calm about explaining everything to me. As for the package , it arrived in perfect condition and the packaging itself was not damaged in any way. No scratches on the book or anything , very good quality overall both packaging and book wise. The pricing was very fair too compared to other book sellers factoring in free shipping. Would recommend again!
