This is a solo piano piece performed on a M-Audio 88es driving pianoteq which was re-tuned to Gene Ward Smith’s 17 per octave equal beating dwarf(<17 27 40|). The piece was originally recorded in pianoteq using the standalone mode and then brought into Sonar 8.5 to edit some stray notes, change a chord, and correct some timing issues (some of those still exist). http://micro.soonlabel.com/Semimarvelous_dwarf/semimarvelous-piano.mp3
I am finding this tuning to be really rich with extended chords and I’m enjoying the time I have been spending with it. The scala format for Gene’s tuning follows:
