I really like your approach to the compositional limitation of only using one note!

This piece was written with the challenge of only using a single pitch, in this case middle C.  Given this limitation, I focused on different tone colors to create interest.

Acid Rain

Orchestral epic soundtrack.  Microtonal tuning with canasta/31 miracle tuning, and mostly a double harmonic subminor scale.  Minor chords in this scale are tuned to 6:7:9 rather than the traditional 10:12:15.  VST libraries used include Nucleus, Oceania II, Infinite Woodwinds, Chris Hein Strings, Joshua Bell violin, and Kontakt Factory Library.

Viking Storm

Viking Storm (canasta/31 miracle tuning)

This is an etude for imaginary piano (realized in Csound using my own 'microcsound' software) using 17-edo (17 equal slices of pitch per octave). The intervals of a 6th are mostly 'neutral' 6ths, with occasional 17-edo version of major-6ths.

Etude in neutral sixths

this guitar uses a scale consisting of 8-15 of the harmonic series. it can also be described as follows:

1/1 - tonic
9/8 - major second
5/4 - just major third
11/8 - quartertone between perfect fourth and raised fourth
3/2 - perfect fifth
13/8 - neutral-ish sixth, closer to minor sixth
7/4 - harmonic minor seventh
15/8 - major seventh

the open strings of the guitar are tuned to 2,3,4,5,6,7 of the harmonic series.
