Eleven limit pentatonic

Hi there,

I've just been having a lot of fun with this superb
eleven limit pentatonic
1/1 6/5 11/8 3/2 7/4 2/1.

This is a fractal tune with a kalimba-bongo as the soloist
- i.e. a kalimba playing the partials of a bongo.

Here is a fractal tune

I've also done an improvisation in it which will be

(try tomorrow - I uploaded it this afternoon)

I've tried searching the SCALA archive for scales that have
all these intervals in them and came up with one twelve
tone scale (no pentatonic ones):

Carlos Super Just
1/1 17/16 9/8 6/5 5/4 4/3 11/8 3/2 13/8 5/3 7/4 15/8 2/1

Searching the modes list, I find the mode could be described as
Raga Samudhra Priya, Madhukauns (pentatonic)

***Hello Robert!

I just wanted to say that I enjoyed all your compositions you have
recently posted! However I *did* have one question: two of them
are, purportedly by the "Fractal Tune Smithy" and one is by *you* but
all three seem somewhat "algorithmic..." How do you distinguish the
author?? This is not meant in any kind of deprecating way, since it
seems this kind of method is working well for this kind of music.

This definitely falls into the kind of "automatic" or "algorithmic"
composition that Kraig Grady has been discussing... I haven't had
time to comment on it before.

best,

Joseph
