You're not me (thank god!). But if you were you'd move up to 41tET. Say
what you will, but it's close enough to 88CET, and octaves are a nice
bonus. You'd get Kyma (just got an amazing upgrade and lower price) and
design groovy additive patches with 41tET overtones.

Close your eyes. Imagine yourself dancing with snakes. I don't think so.
Seriously, this song put all its eggs in one basket. It is either going to
create an image or not. If you're not dancing by the end, so to speak, it
didn't work. I was surprised, because I found Haverstick's world-inspired
34tET stuff on Acoustic Stick very convincing.

Yes, 41TET is a strong possibility I've considered. 34TET is another, as
well as more work with harmonic-series fragments.
