New sample of Zireen music

Here's a new 20-second fragment of Zireen music, which illustrates some new rhythmic ideas in addition to the tuning, which is one I haven't used much before.

The pilina is a (fictional) instrument that resembles a steel drum, with a five-part symmetry, tuned to a scale with 5, 10, or 15 notes per octave. This fragment uses two decatonic pilina, accompanied by a vila (reed organ) and percussion. The tuning is blacksmith[10], a 7-limit version of Blackwood's decatonic scale (although the 7-limit intervals are only occasionally used in this fragment).

like an insane ice cream truck!

I like it, and agree with the insane ice cream truck assessment!
