Glass Onion in 22-tET

Hello all. I haven't retuned _Verklaerte Nacht_ yet,
but I have just completed a project suggested to me
by Paul Erlich a year and a half ago: the Beatles's
_Glass Onion_ retuned into 22-tET.

And here's the old 12-tET version for comparison:

Be sure to use a decent soundcard or synth, so it will
rock properly.

Funny?...?

I spent all day Saturday working on this, tediously, by hand,
after having it nag at my mind for a year and a half.

It wasn't meant to be funny at all. ...Just a different
tuning of a great piece, and an answer to Paul's challenge
that it wouldn't work. *And* - something I needed - a
validation of 22-tET in some way that was really musically
meaningful to me.

Anyway, laughter is only bad when it's at someone's expense,
so no harm done, glad you got a chuckle...

...?
