A piece based on a dodecatonic scale which repeats every 1901.955 cents (3/1 ratio). In
order to fit a BP scale into an octave of a standard keyboard I chose to eliminate one of the
usual 13 steps of it and I based this decision on the Bohlen-Pierce Scale Research Paper (
http://www.ziaspace.com/elaine/BP/The%20Bohlen-Pierce%20Scale.html ) by Elaine Walker
(the pattern of my scale is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13).

12 is an mos/constant structure of 19 so one can easily think of itthis way too. i have played around quite a bit with this with 12 stepscales. I will add that i have also gotten allot out of taking 7 tones(3/2) and taking the 5 subset.
