Marek Zabka: Let's Talk
Marek Zabka, a Lecturer at Slovakia's Comenius University, is hot on our heels.
His paper Generalized Tonnetz and Well-Formed GTS: A Scale Theory Inspired by the Neo-Riemannians shows that he's investigating the same generalized approach to music theory that Andy Milne, Bill Sethares, and myself are pursuing (our references here), on which JiMS iGetIt! Music System (JiMS) is based.
Interestingly, Dr. Zabka does not cite any of our papers, which I presume means that he's unuaware of them.
He has not yet connected his approach to isomorphic keyboards or -- more importantly -- to a generalization of timbre, so we're still ahead of the pack.
Clearly, the foundations of our mutual approach are "in the air," much as infinitesimal calculus was in the 1660's and natural selection was in the 1850's.
I don't have Dr. Zabka's contact information, and can't find it on the web. If you, kind Reader, know how to contact him, or can forward this to him, I would welcome the opportunity to welcome him to into our growing collaboration.
