Thanks, Jerry! Glad you liked it. It's a piece I wrote that
I later used for a theme to a play called _Invisible Haircut_
that a friend of mine wrote. There's a whole page about it
on my site (just updated today):
http://www.ixpres.com/interval/monzo/haircut/haircut.htm

Paul Erlich and Carl Lumma both also had really good things
to say about this when I first uploaded it, and I elaborated
further on some of the interesting aspects of the tuning: see

Me, Mills College TD 1415.17

Carl Lumma, Onelist TD 108.5

Since the Mills College digest is not as easy to find,
I'll quote the relevant part of my post here:
