And another one I didn't share from the same day. I must of been in a funk where it all sounded really bad. This improvisation concentrates more on melodic aspects of 22 edo though there are some harmonies.

Here is something I had laying around that I forgot I did. A 9 edo improvisation with my Roland GR-20 + Fender Mustang combination. This will probably sound pretty foreign and / or out of tune. To me it sounds oddly funky in places like at 0:22
