harem music for 'Peer gynt'

Hey fellow tuning addicts,

An sneak preview example of what I'm doing with 3/2 and 7/4 based JI for a
harem scene underscore (i.e. background music) in the 'Peer Gynt' production
I'm both composing and sound designing for. On the dumbec is Andy Hasenpflug,
the other half of 'Divide by Pi'.

The scale is tuned to 'A':
1/1, 28/27, 9/8, 7/6, 9/7, 4/3, 49/36, 3/2, 14/9, 12/7, 7/4, 49/27, 2/1
...and was designed originally by Gene Ward Smith, when I asked about possible
3/2- and 7/4-only based 12-note scales. Thanks, Gene !

***Nice sounds, Aaron. For theatre work, though, they usually like
quite a "wet" sound though, no? Maybe not this director...

Thanks for your comments, Joseph. Maybe you are the only one to have seen this
link?

Anyway, I haven't given a lot of thought to reverb, but now that you mention
it, the theatre seats 28, and the scene is a close-quarters harem, so I think
it'll stand just fine.

When I get to the 'troll king' scene, it'll require a big wet organ sound.
Here the score will conjure up a larger acoustical space with the reverb....

Best,

***Hi Aaron,

Well, reverb always seems to spoil fine points in the *tuning*, but I
remember when working with the Pulse Ensemble Theatre (now defunct!),
several of the other composers had this *huge* wet sound with lots of
effects, so I tended to have a fair amount of reverb in *my* work as
well... for my rendition of Shakespere's _The Tempest_ in quarter
comma meantone.... but the work was also presented in a large outdoor
courtyard:
