Eclectic microtonal/xenharmonic 21st-century
The time has come to say no to twelve tone equal. Ask Ivor Darreg. He knows. This project is, among other things, an argument for the further exploration of microtonal/xenharmonic tunings by more musicians. If you find this argument compelling or completely repulsive, please let me know. This project is also a response to the recognized need for more examples available on the internet, for the curious. The curious will never hope to get anywhere without trying out their ears.

Story behind the song
This piece explores some clusters of 31-tone equal temperament, particularly subsets of 1+2+3+4+5+...+14/31 of an octave. It is only a sketch. For best results use 8 real bassoons surrounding the audience instead of 8 overdubbed bassoons coming out in 5.0 surround sound.
