Hi Shaahin,

What a lucky child!

The first is dramatic and lush and beautifully coloured. If that's
12-EDO, just proves that you don't need unusual tunings to make
unusual music. Though I can't imagine a child falling asleep to it!

The second is nicely engineered into a cohesive whole, with clear,
melodic themes and pretty textures.

I love the third, more for its angular cross-rhythms than its
tuning. It creates a sense of unease and unpredictability that owuld
be perfect program music for, say, a chase through the narrow,
winding streets of the bazaar quarter of an ancient city.

Re tuning: Could you explain the last scale a little more - what does
the term "7-aid(700.)" mean? I guess it's 7 arithmetic (something)
divisions of 700 cents, but what's the something? And what's a1?

If the tuning was of two segments, 7-ed(700.) and 5-ed(500.), we'd,
of course, have 12-edo; would this change the feeling of the piece
greatly?

Regards,
Yahya

Thanks - lots of fun! I used it to find out the size of a 19-fold
division of the perfect fifth, then for an eyeball appraisal of the
fit of the resulting intervals to various smallish ratios. Could be
quite useful.

Yahya
