about

About this composition:
A few years ago I reworked a piece that uses a scale I came up with in 16 and recorded as first impressions with a MIDI pickup on 16-tone guitar. The scale in 16 is 31311511.
The first piece here is actually the very first thing I ever played on 16 tone guitar, simply re-worked for small orchestra. I consider it a lucky one to have hit record.
The second piece is transitionary with some negative space.
The third piece is more Mavila temperament based in it's composition, and the fourth is simply another take with the 8-note subset.
