The Porcupine Party Pop Band will meet during summer camp (August 3-11) in order to "get deep" into a single tuning system, i.e. finding our groove in it. To do this, we need people, especially porcupine-passionate people to write music that we can try. Our ensemble is flexible and ad-hoc, but we will have something resembling a rhythm/chord section, a wind section, and vocalist(s). A score with 2-5 staves is ideal. We recommend using our provisional notation, detailed below. We will be tuning our porcupine to the flavor of [[22edo|22-EDO]]. In your composition, you can take advantage of other features of 22-EDO, but we are interested primarily in exploring what it means to play in porcupine. No promises! You don't have to come to camp to submit a score, and we don't have to do squat unless we dig your song.
