A pretty "jazzy" comma pump

Hi there.

If I said Mike would like my idea of tetradic pumps, now I think he will especially like this example.

In message # 100764, I described a comma pump in amity using generator numbers -15 to +15.

I've turned this very same progression into a MIDI file and it's available here:

/tuning/files/PetrParizek/amity_maximal_tetradic_pump.mid

BTW: there are 2 measures per each melodic phrase, while there are 5 measures per each comma pump.
Therefore, when the first pump is finished, the melodic phrase is halfway through, which means it gets in sync after no more than 10 measures.

Mike can't reply right now, as he is lying in a puddle
on the floor. He telepathically asked me to post his
enthusiastic response while he congeals.

Wow. That's crazy. I was messing around with some maj7 and m7 based
comma pumps in porcupine the other day and they blew my mind, btw. I
think this approach will sound -amazing- for Porcupine, especially
because 9/5 is the generator as well.

Awesome man, look forward to more of these!
