17 Pink Tuxedos

This is an experiment where I slowed down Norm Harris' percussion track "7th Son" http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/7th-son and slowed it down by a factor of five and ran it through effects and such – and then played along with my 17 note per octave guitar and several instances of synthesizer in 17 notes per octave. It is not so much a final result as a direction to explore.

Like it. Like the stuttering percussion and the long delay on the guitar.

And the suggestion of pitch in the percussion, and the strange buzzing, and the
feedback.

May not be final, but it sounds good. Vaguely Lydian b7, until it isn't.

Could be excellent music for some kind of vid--by which I mean only that it is
evocative...of something. (Our protagonist's psychic deterioration from living
in a cave too long?)
