#How articles are written

Articles start as AI-assisted drafts and are then reviewed, corrected and published by hand by Yunus Emre Vurgun, who is responsible for everything on the site. The human part is the part that matters: deciding what an article should claim, checking the claims against the repertoire and the treatises, cutting what is not defensible, fixing the pitch examples, and refusing to publish what cannot be supported.

The launch set of twenty-eight articles went through an additional independent fact-check pass, which found nine real errors — a triad credited with a tritone, a reversed sharp count, a chord described in the wrong inversion, a swapped polyrhythm grid, and five more. Each was corrected.

In October 2026 the site grew well beyond that launch set. It gained more articles, a reference section for keys, scales, chords, intervals and note frequencies, and a glossary. The notes, spellings and intervals on the reference pages are computed by code and checked against known answers by an automated test suite, so they do not depend on anyone typing them correctly. The prose around them, the glossary and the articles added since the launch set are AI-assisted drafts that were checked by those tests, by a linter and by an AI-assisted editorial pass. They have not had the independent human fact-check that the launch set received, so read them with that in mind and send corrections.

If you quote the site, saying the article is an AI-assisted draft reviewed by the publisher is accurate.

#Citing and correcting

Cite an article by its title, the site name, its date and the article URL. The current version of a corrected article is the authoritative one, and the updated date at the top records the last fix.

Factual corrections are welcome and treated as first-class work: a wrong year, a misattributed work, a mislabelled interval. Send them through contact — naming the source you checked against usually resolves the question in one exchange.

#Sound

Every pitch example on the site plays in the browser: press play and the notes are synthesised on the spot, pitched exactly as written, using the same engine as the tools. Nothing downloads and nothing streams, which is why a page with six examples loads as fast as a page with none.
