This is an orchestral piece composed in 13 note subset of 31 notes per octave called “Orwell”. The purpose of this piece was to study polyphonic voice leading in a microtonal context. It was realized via Sonar 8.5 and Garritan Personal Orchestra version 4.0 (aria) which accepts scala files directly. Here is a partial scoredatura in pdf.
There are flaws – for one the humanization isn’t as picky as it could be but as usual I have limited time so the result is more or less a sketch. This is a revised version of one released to the alternate tuning list back in the summer of 2010.
