Isn't it killer? Have you heard his 24Tune? It's on his webpage under
list of works. I actually like it better than invisible haircut.

>It is magical how JI transcription happened to "work" on this one.

Ackg! JI can always work this well, no magic.

This is the most pleasant thing, isn't it? It is what I call "florescent
lightingness" at the 7-limit. It is the first thing to leave a just chord
with detuning. Only 34 and 53, of the ET's I considered, have it for the
4:5:6 chord.

If you read the "Invisible Haircut" page itself, you'll see that Joe
says he could not apply this kind of JI trascription to works of other
composers that he tried it on.
