Last year I commissioned a builder to make a neck fretted in a collection of just-intonation intervals--24 of them to each "octave." After an entirely-too-long process on my end actually building, wiring, and setting up the instrument, here we have a weekly composition using it. (If you want to see it, it's this one. Body is a second-hand Squier, pickups are Fender wide range, hardware is from various places, neck is from Metatonal Music.)
This one...sounds a lot like the recent guitar pieces. I'm finding my way with this instrument. The tuning is currently Bb F C E A D, so...pretty low on the bottom there. Otherwise, things are consistent with recent stuff--just a bit of convolution reverb and compression/eq on the stereo mix.
The title comes from the meaning of Kenmare (Neidin), a town in Ireland near the R571 route. (Still going with the roads in Ireland, primarily because the place names nearby are so resonant.)
