Kantele music in Just Intonation

My piece 'Toivo' for 15-string kantele (= Finnish zither) and electronic soundtrack can be
heard here (at 43'40"):

http://www.wnyc.org/stream/ram?file=/newsounds/newsounds012309.mp3

(WNYC New Sounds 2891 / 'New Music from Finland')

The kantele, played by Eija Kankaanranta, is here tuned to the natural harmonics of the
accompanying drone, up to the 13th.

Also the other work of mine heard on the show, the piece for clarinet and kantele, uses a
microtonal tuning for the kantele.

This is really nice. The tuning relationship is appealing. And the rest of the show is really good as well - thanks so much!
