Not the most accessible tuning - 13 edo splits the octave into 13 instead of 12 parts. So everything is guaranteed to sound different. That could be the charm or the problem for you. This piece focuses more on melody than most of mine.

I posted a version of this before. This is the same pretty much except that I put down a real, organic, bass track using my Squier Mustang bass, rather than the old synthetic one. The production is a bit ballsier too...

Well, I should give some background. Sometimes, for me, the difference in tunings are hard to discern - I don't have perfect or even good relative pitch discrimination. So I can get fooled. The Prelude for a Centaur tuned piano was actually composed…
