You and I are "natural" beings. Anything we come up with must be natural. But it must be understandable how the diatonic scales got their start and are so prominent. If you and I were blowing conch shells a tritone apart, we might be able to make some beautiful sounds, or we might be getting into some ugly grandstanding.
Hey, (don't know you guys well) is anyone in Denver??? Fred Frith performing tomorrow (Wed) night. Don't miss it.
