John "Longitude" Harrison, and everyone who has ever wondered why their instruments always sound outta tune, and unable to play the "notes they hear in their head".
Sounds Like
Extremely consonant, or wildly dissonant, dependent upon how you use it.
LucyTuning is a way of tuning music to enable users to emulate any tuning. The intervals and harmony which can be produced extends beyond the limitations of conventional Western music. You can hear more examples at http://www.lullabies.co.uk.
This system was originally discovered in the 1770's by John 'Longitude' Harrison, and re-discovered in 1986 by Charles Lucy. Since that time many instruments, tuning codes, and recordings have been produced, with the intention of future generations using LucyTuning to expand their musical palette, and enable them to produce music beyond 20th century confines.
We compose and produce many styles of LucyTuned music for records/film/video/theatre/jingles/idents. You may not initially realise that you are listening to LucyTuned music, yet if you enjoy what you are hearing and feel that there is "something magical" about the feel, listen very carefully to the harmony and tuning; you may be surprised;-)

The beautiful VOX was plugged into a MAC. They're an interesting bit of kit, it's kind of like a typewriter except you don't use carbon paper, I reckon they'll sell like hot cakes.
Charles, thank you very much for the visit last weekend, it was excellent to see you and the JK in rude health. More important business, the LSDMK25 is plugged into a very interesting bit of kit at the moment...
