My Music Theory for Conworlders is developing, with some attempts at figuring out some of the intricacies of music in general, and how these can be applied to make weird music. Most recent post: some ways of testing microtonal stuff. Before that: overtones and their relations to some simple scales. Upcoming stuff: Pythagorean tuning, then a slight detour to Just Intonation, then Meantone, and once we're there, equal temperament will hit us pretty soon.
After that - other temperaments! (Extended meantone, non-meantone, etc). That, my fellows, is where the real 'xen' lies, a world of things that will lend your concultures a certain 'out there'-ness, that alien quality that tells the listener he is not in Kansas anymore.
