Love our library (even if the white book will be a 2nd instructional read). And I look forward to reading the Tuning Systems book especially (Look who wrote the foreword). I am familiar with Northwestern Turkish part of microtonal music, more informally though, unlike my electronic music background, with my parents doing weekly activities as part of a local Turkish Art Music Association, in a choir, with my dad playing several instruments.

Mind you, he was not a professional musician, he was a metallurgical engineer, and my mom is not a professional musician either.

Anyway, my little exposure here is unlocked again after many years, this time to extend the knowledge beyond informal exposure and learn many many others. Aaand especially after getting fed up with the likes of altin gun (a turkish dutch band, not to sh*t on their music at all, my problem is about something else->) sparking this orientalist stereotype and satisfying that expectation with re-appropriation on one side, but then again recognising that there is so much to explore, on the other, with history of synthesis, and meticulous efforts of those like Harry Partch and now Live having introduced these tunings.
