"Elegy, for Jon" is a JI retuning/rearrangement of a piece called "Solar
Midnight" from Complex Silence 4 (which used a non-rational Phi-based
tuning). Unbeknownst to me, I finished it on the day that my closest
friend Jonathan Gams passed away, and it is offered in his memory.

Made with Csound and blue using Kraig Grady's Centaur tuning.

I like very much the combination of that penetrating saw with the
crystalline synth. It sounds very spacey indeed. I felt marooned on an
alien planet while listening to it.

Sad to hear about the passing of your friend. We are all destined to
leave the world when our time comes.

Oz.

Thanks, Oz. That is indeed true.

(By the way, I don't remember if I mentioned it anywhere, but I enjoyed your recent piece "The Saba Storm".)
