I wasn’t able to attend the recent Bohlen-Pierce conference in Boston because I was out of town, but this is a fun vid/article from the Boston Globe about the scale.

“A different tuning system is almost like a different language,” said Ross W. Duffin, a music professor at Case Western Reserve University and author of the book “How Equal Temperament Ruined Harmony (And Why You Should Care).” “There are other languages that sound completely different [from English] - that have different grammatical systems, that have different words for the same thing. And yet those things coexist, and it’s recognized there’s great beauty in a French poem, for example.”
