===What I look for in a good xenharmonic piece=== | |||
The tuning sounds consonant, all the combinations of intervals you used sound within the same range of consonant-ness as all the combinations available in 12edo. There are more dissonant and less dissonant sections, but none that sound more dissonant than the maximum limit of dissonance I'm willing to tolerate (ie, the maximum amount of dissonance achievable with 12edo). All that is a long winded way of saying nothing sounds "out of tune". | |||
The timbre also sounds good. Despite being midi instruments, the samples used and whatever effects were applied to them (reverb, volume levels, etc.) all come together well into something that is more than the sum of its parts. The timbre works well with the tuning to create a kind of pleasant, warm glow. | |||
The piece has enough dynamic range, sense of harmonic movement, and interaction between melody lines to hold my interest, to not sound bland, but instead sound captivating. | |||

* '''[[9/5]], Ceres'''. It doesn’t pull much weight on its own, but in the context of the wider solar system, it demarcates an important in-between point for the other planets. If you want to travel between the different planets, Ceres makes the journey much more pleasant. | * '''[[9/5]], Ceres'''.

* '''[[11/8]], Pluto''', often dismissed outright due to having such a tiny gravitational pull. But it is a whole other type of ‘planet’, the first of a whole new family. When approached on its own terms, it opens up a larger, more diverse solar system than we ever knew existed. | * '''[[11/8]], Pluto''', often dismissed outright due to having such a tiny gravitational pull.
