How can musical intervals described by Persian theorists centuries ago become material for contemporary composition? Arshia Samsaminia explores medieval Persian tuning systems and introduces Helmholtz–Ellis Just Intonation (HEJI) as a tool for precisely notating micro-intervals, showing how Persian Makām structures can move across acoustic and electronic music. Language: English.
