I got to play this $3,000 8 string baritone Taylor today. Had I $3,000 at all it would have been mine! It has to be one of the best guitars I've ever played and an ingenious string combination.
This is a piece using Garritan World Sample Set (Tibet singing bowls and Tibet bells) and pianoteq. It also uses a non-octave tuning that is an infinite stack of just major seconds (scala file below).

I saw discussion of Bleu tuning on the yahoo tuning groups – all of which were tempered to a pure octave. Embolden by Andrew Heathwaite’s 88 cent guitar I decided to try the tuning without tempering to make the octave pure. So I made a scala…

Well, I'm not Greek, but I think "Heptadecaphilia" means "to love 17".
Quite an impressive collection of "17 equal tones per octave" songs (20!).
If one wants to immerse themselves in an environment of tonality that is in stark contrast to the conventional "12 tones per octave" standard that has dominated human ears since the 17th century, this a great collection to explore.
It takes a bit of courage to give microtonal music a shot - at times it sounds blasphemous and dizzyingly disorientating to me. Stretching the definition of the established custom probably always feels like that.
The surprise is how quickly my ear adapts to it but it takes a bit of immersion for me to get to that point.
Strong work, Chris. I philia it.

this is a dual title song. dark and gloomy as usual and has the live feel i often go for.
the lyrics are no big deal. they can mean whatever you want them to.
running time is about 7:30. thanks for your time and listen…
one of my fav moody's songs.
it would have turned out far better if i had a melotron. (i wish!) this is an ecological song.
i had it running in my head for the last week, and so much so it was also playing in a dream i had,
so i figured it…

Cool guitar. Check out the new line 6 Variax guitar around $1,600 and 12 tunings on a knob including capo setting.Tons of other stuff also.
Great track mate very cool.
Nice one mate.
Just made my Son Dylan look sideways. Great atmosphere.
Oh yeh like this one mate very well done.
I find this quite soothing but can't help feeling there's more underneath
I just love this site, theres something for everyone. Played with your usual skill
Oh my word. Completely creepy and affecting! And this track has a spookily wrong timer... (1.54, not 1.23.)
The timer on this 'ere track is lying. It's only 13 seconds out...but that's kind of eerie, no? I mean, what with it being 13 and all. Just saying.
Timeless and bright.
wow i found this song to be incredibly eerie lol
very stately ......medieval
I shall have to get this on my phone as an alarm ...........
Goes perfect with the image.
make sure that cellar doors locked we don't want it getting out .....excellent atmosphere.....
Remind me never to go in to your cellar. Very atmospheric - cine score me thinks?
Like the use of the brass vpices - and that bassline is nothing short of superheroesque!
