I'd bet even most of that 1% would still think Wendy Carlos' "Beauty in the Beast" was not "the music of the perhaps not too distant future", but merely a poorly recorded and out-of-tune record. (Speaking for myself, that whole record was the closest thing I've experienced to "the brown note".) As far as the other 80% of the world goes, that part of it who hasn't adopted the even-tempered scale due to not having radio and TV or whatever, I can't speak for Charles but I really don't think they're going to be listening to my music, and if they did, they probably would already have heard enough even-tempered music that they wouldn't mind. I guess this whole thread is instant karma for me having contributed to off-topic threads in the past, 'cause it sure doesn't seem to have much to do with Linux or even computer audio anymore.
