Dang, Stacy! I don't know how you do these rhythmically complicated pieces. Playing off 3 against four requires such mental and manual independence. This is, truly, intergalactic.

Did you tune a real piano into just intonation, or did you achieve this through software? Im in love with this piece. Really beautiful work. 

Listening to this on repeat, this is round 4, its SO GOOD!

Intergalactic Lullaby begins with a brief prolation canon, and is in 7-limit just intonation with lots of syntonic commas(notes that are only 21.51 cents apart). The rhythm is mostly 3 against 4 where the right hand is playing triplets while the left hand is playing 16ths in groups of 6 and 3. 

Composed and performed by Stacy Fahrion for Piano Day 2022 using Pianoteq.
