the Achamenid Dynasty (580-529BC) and a righteous human being.He was extraordinarily peerless in all over the world.

For John chalmers :This piece is composed in honour of Dr.john chalmers 

( and another link in Sonic-arts), for his efforts mainly in science of tuning and as a gift for new year.It is not a long time , being acquainted with this guru , but i found a good teacher and better to say , a good freind. This piece is composed Basically in 5-AID(4/3) with a1=66.406 cent .so,by considering 2 equal intervals with size of (4/3)^(1/2) , Finally we can see this 5-tone structure: 0.00000 66.40600 149.41350 249.02250 365.23300 4/3

Then adding a1 to 4/3 , inserting a new interval as 3/2 and extending to 12 note per ocatve lead us to this 12-tone scale with two equal tetrachords: 0: 1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6:

1/1 0.000 66.406 cents 66.406 149.414 cents 149.414 249.023 cents 249.023 365.233 cents 365.233 4/3 498.045 564.451 cents 564.451

This music is composed in a mode with this degrees : 0 2 3 5 7 9 10 12 . We have 3 point of nonconformity between two tetrachords.

Music based on jupiter scale proposed by Elsie hamilton 

In Naked light , web site of Brian lee which has some articles about Elsie hamilton , we can see one of hamilton's musics named "Steig hinauf zu höhern Kreise" , for soprano and alto lyre , in Jupiter scale which has this scale :E F# G A# B C D E in 18-EDL: 0: 1/1 0.000 1: 9/8 203.910 2: 6/5 315.641 3: 18/13 563.382 4: 3/2 701.955 5: 18/11 852.592 6: 9/5 1017.596 7: 2/1 1200.000 with divisions based on18:16:15:13:12:11:10:9 I used 22-EDL to start scale from C but the Melodic trend starts from E: 0: 1/1 0.000 1: 11/10 165.004 2: 11/9 347.408 3: 11/8 551.318 4: 22/15 663.049 5: 22/13 910.790 6: 11/6 1049.363 7: 2/1 1200.000 with divisions based on 22:20:18:16:15:13:12:11 in this serie we have 22:20:18 which is the same as 11:10:9.The overlap of this 2 scale is interesting , as if 18-EDL is a mode based on 22-EDL: 22:20:18:16:15:13:12:11 18:16:15:13:12:11:10:9
