These references can only give us a vague idea of how these pitch matrix are used and are divorced of the their cultural context and meaning and variability. Further investigation into specific areas of interest are highly recommended. The purpose here is to provide insight into some basic pitch material which has developed over a vast period of time. Like all systems, their potential for further development is open. The economic resources of various cultures have often been limited and investigations might or might not provide a record, or even new uses or exspansions that might provide these very cultures from reclaiming some of their own lost history.
