Altered Scale See other projects related to this listing. This project is believed to be defunct. (October 2015) About I welcome performers, visual artists, and writers to submit to this journal. I have an eclectic—I don't consider that a bad word—taste. I want to see work on any topic, not on music. As with any editor, I will make choices as to the ordering and arranging of the works. I will do this with an eye toward highlighting the musical aspects of works—tone, rhythm, harmony / disharmony, and improvisation. These aspects of the works will be highlighted through comparison and contrast, not through my commenting on them.
