Improvisation in the Magic Temperament

This is my first improvised Dynamic Tonality piece in the magic temperament and I thought you all might be interested in taking a listen. I'm using the TransFormSynth (or TFS for short), which transforms your QWERTY keyboard into an isomorphic keyboard with fingering invariance across all keys and tunings (within a given temperament), while also remapping the partials of your timbres to maximize sensory consonance (if you so choose).

This piece starts around 13-edo, and where the weird tuning shifts (called "polyphonic tuning bends") start that's me bending from 13-edo, past 16-edo, to 19-edo, then back again a few times. I then finally zip past 19-edo and slide to the top end of the magic continuum, 3-edo. After the 3-edo section and some more polyphonic tuning bends, I slide to the opposite extreme in the magic temperament, 10-edo, and finish it out there.

I really like being able to apply a given fingering for a scale or chord, once I've mastered it on the keyboard, to a whole range of related tunings. I can hear the similarity in function of each musical idea across the entire tuning continuum with all sorts of differences in nuance. Though I'm not yet a master of dynamic tonality, I've been having a lot of fun exploring =)
