i've been lethargic, a little sick, and very sedate and sane. been sober with songs like 'danny boy' and reading literature and thinking of victorian era age and the culture and all that, so not much pop these days, eh? scottish folk songs. haha. purvis dancing. well done.

but i really admire this little midi program called midicode that you can download (the demo) from www.midicode.com and it's really wonderful, coz you can access different scales that are in different intonation besides equal temperament: such as the just intonation scale, which is really quite wonderful, it's the pure form according to the chords, where the 5th is raised and the 3rd flattened and the 6th and 7th i think flattened slightly so that it forms the 3rd of the 4th and 5th chords respectively, and there are even javanese slendro and pelog scales! how accurate it is, i have no idea, but the fact that i can hear a chord properly without the buzz is good enough.

i'm trying to download some all saints and listening to garth brooks. what a great song.
