Some analysis of a quasi anhemitonic/diatonic in 11 equal coming up real
soon, and perhaps someone can tell me what PCs in TurqDaboGirl from the 11
he uses as a 'consonant' chord.

he uses the closest approximation to a harmonic series 4:6:7:9 chord,
and it sounds really smooth because all the spectra (partials) are re-
mapped to 11-equal. somehow the impression of a "fifth" does manage
to come across here, maybe because of the larger chordal context.
