This is a piece in a microtonal tuning - but sounds very much like pentatonic in "normal" 12 equal tuning to my ears. But I work in microtonal tunings all the time and may be biased.
How "in tune" does this sound to you?

I think that for the type of piece, this is in tune - almost. A little tighten here and there, it would be perfect. Playing in harmony most of the way through, well it has to be in tune!

Instantaneously Yours is an internet collaboration between excellent percussionist Norm Harris and myself. I added 12 string, fretless bass and fretless ebowed guitar to Norm's Groove for Saint Ambrose. Since this was done for fun as a serial…
This is electronic tending towards ambient

This is a recording of Norm and me playing together a few months ago. I didnt have any percussion instruments so Norm was on a Roland electric trap set and I had a cello. I looped some of the stuff we did that night, and retrofitted the rest…
in a cool darkened lounge
floors above the cityscape
quiet laughter, clink of ice in glass
D min looks into the eyes of G min
a quiet romance begins
sometimes the best things in life are quite simple

Here's proof. Proof that things are a bit mysterious in my studio.
Late last night my Bass Cajon all of a sudden decided to start accompanying me on its own - without me touching it. At first I thought that some apparitional bass player had…
I went out during cover of night (to avoid looking like a total crackpot) with a violin bow & Zoom H2 digital recorder and bowed various things in the neighborhood. This is the best - a beautifully resonant 4-way stop sign.

actually both parts of the sign, or should I say, both signs, were resonant. And sure if I can talk Debbie into doing the video I'll be happy to - can't be too many traffic sign solos out there :-)

Hi, my 17 guitar is 17 equally spaced notes to the octave. So it has 5 extra frets. I tune it like a regular guitar with small adjustments to take into account the different fret placements.

Sloane did me a favor & played an electric guitar part on this one. I had hoped to work with her more on this project, but she wound up leaving town to help take care for a recovering family member.

I think I'm too used to hearing equal temperament. Sounds out of tune to me in places but not unpleasantly so. Will have to listen a couple more times
That's some tonkin' honkin'
Very nice "pure" harmonies! Ooo, lovely high notes!
and a Ho!!! Ho!!! Ho!!!! HAPPY CHRISTMAS ALL!!!!!!!
Most of the notes are on pitch but some are maybe a few cents flat? I agree with Sister.
I mean, it is in harmony, therefore, is in tune! Almost!

I agree with Norm 9/10 loved the tune..
Ah, so lovely...the intro was especially soul-sweetening.
Ooh!! Intriguing flavours! Very nicely done! Merry Christmas Eve, Chris.
To answer your question, it doesn't sound completely in tune to me in places - but the sounds are very compelling.
Well ... I have even more appreciation for the piece now that I know what you are up to. I think it's exceptional.
Overall it sounds good but one of the higher notes in the scale sounds a bit iffy to me. Or am I imagining it? What's the scale?
9/10 "in tune".
I like it. It reminds me of Aaron Copland. I can see using something like this behind a video, or a mood setter in a collection of musical pieces.
sweet stuff here.
Twinkly, sparkly and mysterious!
Ooo, and a tinkly one too! Merry Christmas Chris!
Lovely Christmas feast of harmonious goodies!
up earlie and now very Christmassy .......thanks

yes I am. With *lots* of rosin on the hair.
naw, I have nothing to do with NMC or DJNS. I was a part of 2 star man and that was enough for me!
excellent - and great solo!
more than just paulstretch I'd say - or different. in any case a cool idea!
I like the groove you two get going on this.
and a lovely romance it was.
can't say I'm done 4ths - I'm usually fixated on 5ths - nice improv - did you play the synth at the same time?
lovely is too mild of a word - this is gorgeous and spell binding.
very enjoyable!
2 am at a smoky bar with an audience mesmerized by the band.
nice work - it must have been your doppelganger joining in !
the post was not resonant.

a guitar player's guitar player you are!!
I wish I could have seen you do this - great!
this is great!
man... I can't touch this.
ole time radio!
