22 ET slow grunge

Ok... I'm trying to put into practice some of the things I've been thinking and talking about. I'm not too happy with this piece though what I did with using my guitar as a controller I think holds promise for many-note tunings, and in this case 22 EDO.

Specifics:

I used my Fender Mustang and the Roland GR 20 as a controller to drive pianoteq, z3ta+ and albino - all of them in 22 edo. Pianoteq was run through native instruments guitar rig which gives the piano an almost grunge guitar sound. Session Drummer 3 provides the beats.

To get the piano into the proper register I made pianoteq transpose down 24 steps. This made it difficult to go back and add melodies because I couldn't transpose (live) the other two synths and as a result the mapping of the frets to notes changed.

So... this is a bit rough - perhaps should be more up tempo. But it is my most recent attempt to put my music where my mouth has been.

I liked this---fun, strange, and pleasantly creepy...different from the
usual stuff around here....seemed appropriate for some kind of hallucinatory
movie clip.
