Hi Jon,

Lovely music, just what I have come to expect from you.

You have left me with a puzzle: How is it that some music
can be both sad and uplifting at the same time?

Regards,
Yahya

Very cool. I was appreciating the subtle colorings of 19 in this kind
of diatonic context. It seems that the tuning is particularly suited
for this kind of "mood."

How awesome would it be to hear something like this on "real" instruments!

Nice one, John. What would you say to a link to the 19-et Wikipedia
article?

Of course, it would also be interesting to hear what transcribing it
to 31-et would do.

Either one would be fine.

Leaving the piece where it is, so that the link remains valid, is all
that is required.
