Angelos Quetzacoatl composed this piece and then we performed it on video for your enjoyment during a recent visit. Angelos plays fretless guitar and I play fretless bass in 24 edo (quartertones).

Impressive runs!
Aw, now I want curried porcupine...
Call it what you like, I enjoyed it.
You are wacked for sure my friend :) Love the tones. I still can't get a handle on microtonal myself though I like it when you do it!
Can one have too much curry?
Well even porcupines need love! "Sorry they're so sharp" uh hu!
Has all the fascinating flavours of India.
It's interesting watching you guys working together. I could make the tea!
You get the prize for innovation! It's very interesting watching you guys. Ah! cute kitty!
Just found the headphones in 3 year old's bed. The tones have come alive and anyway, how do you play that thing?
Nice!
This is insane!!!
I can hear the quarter tones. Intriguing!
Neat!
enjoyed that Chris...............
Dreamy!
A most effective and fine composition. Hypnotic ending!
cool effects.
TD indeed! I wish they still sounded like this.
I hear bits where it's obviously not the "standard" tuning we've been trained to hear as "right" but this piece is quite beautiful to my ears!
