There is a very old tradition, dating back to the 18th century, of representing pitch using discrete lattices. These spaces generate completely different geometries from the ones described in my paper, and are not useful for representing voice leading. By the way, DJW is wrong, in my view.

Erv Wilson has largely published in Xenharmonikon. Many of his papers have been archived online at Anaphoria.com. For an animated treatment of a Wilson lattice, see http://users.bigpond.net.au/d.keenan/Music/StereoDekany.htm (you need Excel for this to work). Tenney's article "John Cage and The Theory of Harmony" is included in the Soundings issue devoted to his work. Also recommended is the essay describing his work "Changes" for six harps in PNM. Paul Erlich's essay on the "Forms of Tonality" is to be found in the next (and last) issue of Xenharmonikon. Parts 1 & 2 of O’Connell’s “Tone Spaces” were published in die Reihe.
