I received my Bachelor of Science in Economics from the WP Carey school of business at Arizona State University. During my time at ASU I took Dr Ted Solis’ Gamelan Ensemble class twice, the first time for a necessary humanities credit and the second time for my own pleasure. I am currently not a student at ASU, but Dr Solis has been generous enough to let me participate in his fall 2015 Gamelan Ensemble class.  I was not a student of music, but I am an everyday musician and I have self studied various areas of music. I would estimate that I have read about 1,500 pages of academic music material. For this paper, Harry Partch’s ‘Genesis of a Music’ has been most insightful, providing me with a good understanding of the history, mechanics, and mathematics of tuning systems from around the world.
