Microtonality and the Tuning Systems of Erv Wilson

This book examines microtonality through the tuning theories of Erv Wilson. It addresses the breadth and complexity of his work by using microtonal keyboard designs to investigate his tuning concepts and their practical applications. It considers materials from historical and experimental tunings to instrument design, and musical applications of mathematical theories and multidimensional geometry. It joins theoretical and practical methods of tuning to enable composers, performers, and instrument designers to explore microtonality, contributing to music theory, composition and technology.
