	Ezra Sims (Avant Garde Project 7, microtonal 20th c. classical) - The Pirate Bay
		Ezra Sims (Avant Garde Project 7, microtonal 20th c.
		========================== The seventh AGP torrent features the music of Ezra Sims, an American composer who rebelled against the tonal impurities of well-tempered tuning, and developed his own 18-note scale based on a division of the octave into 72 intervals.
		Other recordings of Sims' works on CD are available through www.frogpeak.org, including recordings of all of the other Sims pieces I could find in my stacks.

	ANABlog: Ezra Sims, "all done from memory"
		Ezra Sims is a philosophical musician whose evident intent is to make order out of the chaotic universe of sound that has existed for two and a half millenia since the time of Pythagoras.
		The asymmetrical Ezraic scale of eighteen degrees, drawn from a seventy-two note division of the octave, did not spring from the brain of Ezra Sims by spontaneous generation, but was the terminus of his versatile education.
		But while engaged in these esoteric activities, Ezra Sims had to keep body and soul together; for this purpose, he accepted jobs as steelworker, choir director, display designer, and, as he puts it, "general dogsbody" at the Harvard University Music Library, serving finally as a cataloguer and programmer.

	Ezra Sims at Seventy
		For four decades, American composer Ezra Sims has steadily been producing a treasury of works that distinguish hem as one of the most unique voices in the broad field of microtonalism.
		In his early twenties, Sims began hearing different ivervallic relationships from the ones provided by the equal-tempered twelve-note system, but it took him some time first to comprehend the nature of what he was hearing and then to devise an organized way to integrate the new intervals with his music.
		Having set up the parameters with the notes of his scale, Sims is then comfortable trusting that his ear, his intuition, and his intellect together will make good choices, both locally, in the harmonies, and on a large scale, with the sucession of pitch regions.

		Ezra, believing that he was only going to be participating in the dawn patrol, had not packed food in his saddlebags and had already depleted most of his canteen before returning to town that morning.
		Ezra knew that he had to act fast, as the unlikely bank robber was fast losing his control and, with the loss of the posse, he now had no reason to keep her alive.
		Ezra, meanwhile, knew that he had to protect the young girl and, while he felt sure that Sims was dead and that risk was removed, he knew that they were still in danger from the freezing cold of the night and any wild animals that chanced on them.

	ANABlog: Ezra Sims, "Sextet"
		The work was written at the instigation of the saxophonist Kenneth Radnofsky and performed by Dinosaur Annex in March 1982.
		It is based on Louis Armstrong's performance of "St. James Infirmary." Sims points out that the intonation of the great trumpeter fits congenially into his eighteen-note scale, as the blue notes that elude standard notation are handily described by his microtonal system.
		Sims remarks, in his characteristic scholium, that "In Plato's real world, the horn fingerings would be automatically correct; in this sublunary one, they must of course be adjusted by the player."

	Tucson Weekly : Arts : Original Melody
		Composer Ezra Sims' new string quartet will get its first public hearing Wednesday evening at the Leo Rich Theater, during an Arizona Friends of Chamber Music concert.
		Sims is a Cambridge, Mass.-based composer who's best known for "microtonal" music--which means he deploys the tones that are in between the usual whole and half notes routinely used in Western music.
		The new Sims piece is the first in a surprising parade of five new works commissioned for this season by the Arizona Friends of Chamber Music.

	New Music reBlog: Ezra Sims
		I have also been fortunate enough to be in correspondence with the composer, and i've just waded through a packet of articles on his music that he sent me. In my opinion, Sims clearly represents a very strong step forward in the evolution of our Western tone system.
		He has emerged from the creative crises that was responsible for serialism with a wholly intact understanding of the asymmetrical beauty of a tonality-grounded musical system.
		Sims is the best example i've heard of all of this, and it's really beautiful music.

		The recorings in this installment are listed on their website as being still available on LP, but I queried Frog Peak Music about this and was told that they have no more copies, so I am assuming they are now out of print.
		All materials are for non-commercial and/or educational use only.

	MICRO FONT
		MICRO3 is the most recent update to a Postscript © font designed for the 1/12th-tone notation system developed by Ezra Sims for his own music and now taught in the microtone classes of New England Conservatory.
		For those folks who care to explore, there are a few other optional symbols (different sized flats, double flats, a cute little double sharp) buried in the key assignments, but not integral to the system.
		These, in combination with Sims' arrows, comprise the system used by Dean Drummond, to notate his 31-note Utonality -- although without the actual ratios, they are inaccurate and therefore virtually meaningless, whereas the 1/12-tone symbols can describe it precisely.
