I think what a composer gets out of a tuning is up to the composer. I have no other answer.

Chris,
I always appreciate having a score to read; it exposes the formal structure of a piece immediately, whilst also making it easy to spot different developments from similar material at a glance.
This piece is both simple and effective. Have your experiences with 15-EDO led you to feel that it’s capable of expressing moods different from those expressible with 12-EDO? Or in classical Greek terms, do its scales have different “ethos”es?

Dear Chris,
This is a very interesting piece. I enjoyed the tuning you choose and the way you wrote this composition. It is very good! Hope all is well with you. If I ever get out to Chicago, I would love to meet you in person some day.
Peace,
Mike
