Two new midis

I�ve added two new non-12 midis to my site."Of Silent Planet"is in 17tet,based on neutral thirds:

The other one is a very simple experiment with the symmetrical decatonic scale in 22tet.

As you wish...

"Boxwood Forest"was made with Cakewalk sequencer in piano roll mode
through Graham Breed�s excellent Midi Relay utility(my usual setup).It
started out as a series of three-note chords all derived from the
symmetrical 10 note set.I eventually stretched each one to half a bar
of 6/8,adding some more melodic twists.It ended up being similar in
style to my early choral pieces(will be available in midi soon).

As for the scale,i have experimented with scales repeating at the
half-octave before,and third-symmetrical(the 12tet set
C-C#-Eb-E-F-G-Ab-A-B is a basic rendition)of various kinds.

I did not understand the 22tet decatonic when i first read about
it,but i rediscovered it when looking for a scale that contained the
3,5 and 7 approximations of 22tet while also having a manageable
melodic symmetry,which i could not find in the 22tet
approximated"quasi-just"diatonic scale i used in an earlier Midi.

No octave repeating generator-based MOS(know of any simpler term for
it?)did well,but i discovered this scale,which turned out to be
Erlich�s symmetrical decatonic scale.Another composition,not finished
yet,deals with the related but asymmetrical"6-4"scale.

Thank you for sharing your music with us. If you are interested, and
can record a mp3, some of these tuning experiments could be put up
for permanent reference in the "Tuning Lab." A little bit of text
regarding the tuning and your objectives might be helpful in such a
case, too.

Please write to me if you are interested:
