This haunting, shattered-then-somber piece is well suited to my recollections of the disastrous change in course that history took on 2001-9-11. For an improv it has plenty of structure too. Also the Twin Towers photo on the online play page was well chosen. Thanks for sharing this.

I hope you don't mind a couple of technical questions. You write, "The AXiS 49 seems to be especially suited to 22 notes per octave." What ware did you use to assign the notes to the keys & (re)tune their output? What note layout did you use, the sonome standard with perfect fifths adjacent to the north & major thirds adjacent to the east-northeast, or Wicki-Hayden or something else?

Just curious!

Hi MLV!

Thanks for the listen and comments.

I put my AXiS49 into "selfless" mode and played in "normal" (horizontal)
orientation. I did not use a KBM file for keyboard mapping.
The fifths were on diagonals sw to ne so that made it easy to find my way
around. I think it was note, skip, skip, skip, note for the 5ths.
The software was Pianoteq standard 3.6 with a C 6 piano (I think) modified
to increase harmonic content and sustain and not having enough sustain still
the sustain pedal was kept down the entire time. I recorded it in pianoteq,
saved the midi, edited the midi to take out a few bad notes in Sonar, fired
pianoteq back up, loaded the edited midi and exported the wav file. The wav
was converted to mp3 320kbps in audition. The wav was already "normalized".

You can read about selfless mode here - and the picture is the orientation I
played in.
