How many Eight Tone Scales are there? At first glance, this might seem like a simple CS GRE type question: there are 12 notes, so it would be 12 select 8 unordered. Not quite: Continue reading
Chatting with co-worker Emily on the bus last night about REST, Git, and IPA lead to an epiphany of sorts. First, a little background.
