This is a long song in a near-perfect approximation of 159edo and which contains retemperings of 12edo, 14edo, 17edo, 19edo, 22edo, 24edo, 27edo, 31edo, 35edo and 41edo, with a stretch in a near-perfect approximation of 53edo before using the full near-perfect 159edo approximation. There are other EDOs used and mimicked in the transitions. | |||

At the end of the day, it appears that 159edo really is quite a sophisticated and expressive music system. | At the end of the day, it appears that 159edo really is quite a sophisticated and expressive music system. | ||

The original version of this song was a 12edo piece I wrote as part of the same collection as "Folly of a Drunk", however as I didn't have Audacity, or even a microphone back then, certain key elements were missing. It got its start from a riff that I started humming- that riff is the first element you hear in the beta version. | |||

After I got Audacity, and learned more about microtonality, I eventually decided to remake the song, reinstrumenting a number of parts, removing most of the repetitious material and replacing it with generous additions involving new instruments, and adding multiple Xenharmonic modulations, the most frequently use of which being modulations upwards by 11/8 and or down by 16/11. I also added a few effects, and was also finally able to add the single vocal part that I had wanted to add almost from the beginning without having to speak it manually. | |||

Although shorter than "Space Tour", this song still shows off more of the capabilities of 159edo. | |||
