Floating - Stacy Fahrion (7-limit subset of 11-limit tuning)

Floating uses Paul Johnson's 11-limit Janus lattice, but I didn't play any of the 11-limit notes. It's in E Phrygian/mostly E minor pentatonic, and the left hand pattern is 11 beats long throughout. The right hand begins with 2 against 3, then 3 against 4, then 4 against 5, and after a slightly contrasting section, returns the way it came. Thanks for listening to my tuning explorations, and thanks to my teachers, Jacob Adler and Michael Harrison, for being such lovely and inspiring humans and musicians. Recorded on Modartt Pianoteq Steinway D/Nord Piano.

A Strange, Overpowering Feeling - Whimsically Macabre

A piece in 5/4 that uses different versions of only two chords, F and GbMaj7/Bb. It also has 2 different 3-note isomelodies over the repeating 5-note accompaniment pattern that eventually combine into an 8-note isomelody. The title is a phrase from The Listing Attic, by Edward Gorey.
