17 tone piano project

Hi,

I have a 17 tone piano project. Two baby grand pianos at Rice
(Houston TX) are currently tuned to 17 equal. I'm having a concert in
September and thought I would extend an invitation to all sentient
creatures, to compose a score for said pianos. You have two months. Go.

The whole project is spelled out here:

tangentially, xenharmonic.wikispaces.com has the potential to become a
wonderful resource.
