I once challenged my music theory teacher's claim that just about ANY variation of produceable sound was called "music" by some culture or another by mentioning the tritone. Turns out there is a system of African music based exclusively on tritones. IOW, unless there's a documentable physiological effect from tritones, there's no reason to assume that our wincing when we hear one is due to anything more than cultural background. ------------------------ Yahoo!
