Wow! I expected the math. But I’m surprised and impressed by the genomics and musical scales!
Last week I was looking all over the place for a description of an obscure (to me) musical scale I found in a piece by Hovhannes. I eventually found it, but now I have another one I want to look up. I can’t wait to whether “Alpha” can find it.
(And the genomics stuff could be useful in my day job.)
