'''Rhooc Avniin Askuucis''' ([[Anvirese]]: [r̝oːts əvˈni:n əˈsku:tsis] fT 2036 – fT 2096 (aged 60)) was an [[Verse:Tricin/Anvir|Anvirese]] composer.

'''Rhooc Avniin Askuucis''' ([[Anvirese]]: [r̝oːts əvˈni:n əˈsku:tsis] fT 2036 – fT 2096 (aged 60)) was an [[Verse:Tricin/Anvir|Anvirese]] music theorist and composer.

==Traits==

*She's ~~somewhat less of a theorist now than I originally envisioned -~~ her ~~theoretical work might just consist of the zeta function thing.~~

*Languages:

** (Pretty archaic) [[Anvirese]] (native speaker)

** [[Sfətsiv]] (knows a little, her grandparents spoke it)

** [[Windermere]] and [[Tamil]] (She would have had to be able to read it to read premodern math texts and Jopah's writings)

** Be able to read language Jopah wrote in

*What is her overarching motivation?

*tunings: JI, 22, 31

==Historical backdrop==

*Music theory: their scales are based on diamonds, CPS's, constant-structure scales

*Matrix algebra, from earlier work on tempering out small commas in JI.

**Perhaps Askuucis's work consists of relating this regular temperament work to equal temperaments.

***That's where the zeta function comes in, sorta.

==Early life and education==

Line 32:

In fT 2090, Askuucis retired from her academic post and secluded herself, intending to focus solely on composition. She lived in a house in Sŋooron until she died of a stroke in fT 2096.

==Contributions to music theory==

She ~~discovered~~ the ~~relationship between~~ "good" EDOs in terms of the Riemann zeta function. [Would this be possible before computers?]

Building on Jopah's constant structure scales, Askuucis proposed equating the step sizes in constant-structure scales. She believed that this development was a step [no pun intended] towards more parsimonious music.

She formalized the notion of "good" EDOs in terms of the Riemann zeta function. [Would this be possible before computers?]

==Compositions==

===Partial list===

*A collection of works in various equal temperaments, à la Blackwood (?)

*Winter Solstice Cantatas

*Some musical dramas
