Listen to Fast And Furious 13
Kyle Gann in his article “Just Intonation Explained” mentions Terry Riley saying: “Western music is fast because it's not in tune” then he continues: “Equal temperament could be described as the musical equivalent to eating a lot of red meat and processed sugars and watching violent action films. The music doesn't turn your attention inward, it makes you want to go out and work off your nervous energy on something”.
If that is true for 12ED2, it is even truer for 13ED2 (Equal Division of ratio 2:1 into 13 steps of 92.308 cents each)!
This piece is the result of my prolonged exposure to this dreaded tuning system!
