===Multiverse is tuned in [[17edo]]===
In Jacob's microtonal journeying, he finds composing and performing rounds useful in a few ways:
* Rounds have a built-in repeat, which means less starting and stopping in the course of rehearsing
* Rounds require multiple people or groups, standing on their own in counterpoint, which means every round is yet another opportunity to need your friends
* Rounds are "not-yet-music" – they have flexible instrumentation and form, which means more creative decisions to be made by the performing group in the course of rehearsing
* Rounds enable adventures in paradoxical listening – multiple instances of a single melody gradually unfold a counterpoint, then a harmony
* Rounds enable collaboration between different levels of musicianship.

===Score===
This round is born of looking at what two systems – 17edo and [[just intonation]] – do to each other. 17edo becomes a way of looking at just intonation, and vice versa. The harmony of this round is based on an understanding of the 6:7:9:11 [[tetrad]] (degrees 0-4-10-15 of 17edo, measure 1), which he sometimes call the "train whistle" [[chord]].
