A Redesign of the Archives and some new additions.

As the Archives has grown and will continue to do so, we have now broken up the various subheading into separate pages. This we believe makes viewing much easier.
 So you please reload the page http://anaphoria.com/wilson.html
In the first Basic Section we have added a very early letter to Ivor Darreg and John Chalmers.
http://anaphoria.com/LetterDarregChalmers.pdf
and on the keyboard page http://anaphoria.com/wilsonkeyboard.html
 the last 6 items are new starting with the Alphabet series.There is just too much here to discuss at the moment with these but those well versed in keyboards should have little problem.
Feedback always welcome

Some Comments On Akkoc Observations

Since there is some discussion of this material elsewhere, we provide a link to some preliminary studies by Wilson done on some of Akkoc obsevations and research into Turkish Music.
http://anaphoria.com/akkocletter.pdf

 The later pages show Wilson's investigating the Moments of Symmetry (MOS) scale properties of some of these intervals in regard to using them as generators of scales. We will return to this sometime in the future.

11-13-15 Chain

I admit i have concentrated more on 'atypical' directions of Wilson's thought. Such notes as this fill the span of his papers.
