  1. 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?

    Regards,
    Yahya

    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
