GWS!

Nice piece. That tuning is, uh, umm, a little dissonant, but maybe JDL can
adapt it 7-limit for you.

36-et has always been a little strange for me. Ivor Darreg played me some
improv in it, and I was a tad un-impressed.

Good composition though overall. I listened rather intently.

Chalk up another one to the milieu.

It's the 36-et version of "slendric", aka Margo's Wonder Tuning. Reports of its dissonance are greatly exaggerated, but it *is* lacking
in 5-ness.

When my mp3 version appears I could mention it again--I got that to sound quite mellow.

Oh well--maybe an acquired taste? There was a posting on tuning about a new 36-et opera, so someone likes it.
