The video is the real show here - an excerpt from Xenharmonic Praxis Concert #2

This is Ruckus from the Quiet Zone in 7-limit Just Intonation composed by Ralph Lewis inspired by a trip we made to the Green Bank Radio Telelscope. The quiet zone refers the NRQZ was established by the U.S. FCC in 1958 to minimize radio frequency interference to the Green Bank National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank WV. The NRQZ encloses ~ 13,000 square miles near the state border between Virginia and West Virginia.

The piece features a home made canon (Chris Vaisvil) and udderbot (Jacob Barton)
