==Trio for SoftSaturn, NebulaSing and TromBonehead==

SoftSaturn, NebulaSing and TromBonehead are three soundfonts in one of Bree Gorton's collection of tiny but effective soundfonts called "Gort's DoubleDecker". They are the three voices in a Renaissance-style trio in the [[~~Hobbits|~~hobbit scale]] [[guanyin22|Guanyin(22)]], a 22-note scale in the rank three [[Orwellismic_family|guanyin temperament]] tempering out 176/175 and 540/539, which is tuned to [[111edo|111et]]. This is ostensibly an 11-limit scale, or at least it's an 11-limit hobbit, but 111 can handle much higher limits and a lot of the scale chords and intervals have higher-limit interpretations; I confined myself to using a touch of the 13-limit.

It's "Renaissance-style" since three contrapuntal voices with a lot of near-imitation where the harmony is not conceived chordally but is defined by the conjunction of the horizontal motion of the voices is a Renaissance concept.
