New song in an "indistinguishable" 9-tone scale based on 41TET

http://www.myspace.com/spectrafloor

    If you listen to the song "Prism" closely, you can actually tell that it does NOT use 12TET at all, but, rather, a 9-note scale based on the 41TET tuning, all hidden under traditional "acid house" techno production.

    So far it seems to fool people pretty well into thinking it is a "normal" meantone-type scale, but still retains some of the extra depth and texture of micro-tonal music (which, actually, can be exceptionally useful for deep, powerful textures in modern dance music).

  Please feel free to comment on what's good/bad about the piece...my end goal is not to
"get famous" but, rather, to convince people that micro-tonal (that and alternative rhythm theories) deserve a strong place in commercial music and Western culture in general.

Enjoy!

Do you have a link to a simple mp3 or an ogg?
Myspace's music player does not work for me.

the concept is interesting even though this music is not "my cup of tea"
