Morty's harmony / my string orchestra bonanza

It was played by the String ORchestra of New York City (SONYC. . . .cool
acronym, ay?)

Yeah. . . I might try getting it adaptively tuned.

It's just that taking an 014 (C Db E) chord (or other atonal sonority) and
tuning it as 1/1-16/15-5/4 is just not that interesting to my ears. If
the point of JI is consonance, then why use it to retune dissonant 12tet
sounds?

Of course, if you're talking about something xenharmonic, that really
sounds new, and may or may not be atonal, then that's another story. . .

nah . . . by otonal 19-limit, i meant that this would be 1/1-17/16-5/4.

in this case, the point would be to give the chords a nice 'periodicity buzz'. i know monz and carl are big fans of this effect. you can take it or leave it. i was hearing the chords in your piece as having definite 'roots' -- if you don't, then forget this suggestion!

***Who put that together?? Is it affiliated with Columbia? I'm
afraid I've never heard of it...
