Interesting music.It would probably be better to call it folk influenced as I'm having a hard time imagining a place,even in Maine,where groups of people gather around the campfire to sing and play microtonal music.Then again maybe things have changed since I was hanging around Portland.

thanks
thanks charlie--maybe the renaissance fair? interesting how the melody sounds like it's descending because of the chromatic movement going on around it

for anyone who might be interested, this is a lit more microtonal guitar in 7-limit just intonation mostly designed to work certain simple, saturated sonorities

That sounds hip to me.Microtonal is a brave way to go,I guess that you make your own rules (or lack of them) as you go along.

you can use your own tools,and technique, which is what i've done here
tuning is done by ear and too taste by tuning out beats and the like (the septimal comma here that splits the difference between a 4/3 and a 21/16
but with (fixed pitch) old acoustic instruments are often far from perfect as far as quality of workmanship goes...but we tweak accordingly as best we can and sometimes you just get that great periodicity...those little places where angels whisper in and you choose what your ear likes
