Have trouble listening online, but I think blues form lends itself well to micro ideas. I have several blues on my CD's in 19, and it's a hoot...they sound familiar, but...there's always a little twist. Keep at it...Hstick

Yes, that was sure one of the ideas behind it - since many blue notes actually are microtonal by nature and are not well represented by 12EDO, on the piano namely with its fixed pitches, the idea to try it in microtonal tunings comes quite naturally. In this aspect, I am not alltogether satisfied with the result yet - there are still the fixed pitches of the piano, even if there are more of them. But it's a beginning.

Thanks to all for their comments!
