Indian Blues Fusion in 17 edo uses my electric DIY tanpura guitar tuned to 17 edo, electric 17 edo guitar and Indian percussion.

Shanidar Cave is a piece in 17 edo that features an electric 17 edo guitar and what is essentially an electric tanpura which ends up making this a sort of fusion of middle eastern and Indian music in a sense. The tanpura is the result of a the installation of a "sitar" buzzing bridge that was to make a spare strat copy into an electric sitar. It turned out to be so difficult to adjust the intonation I gave up and let it lay fallow for a couple years until I hit upon the tanpura idea recently – an instrument without frets and therefore without a need for intonation adjustment. The bridge was sold by eyb guitars for 125 euros. A photo of the bridge is above.

Ogg or flac, pls.

I am curious as to why.

[monsterovich]

Because music of any such genre sounds much better in ogg or flac.

Thank you for the explanation of your request.

Well, back when SamZen was around there was a point where everyone started to make requests for me to post different formats - some wanted ogg, some flac, some wanted streaming, some wanted 320 mp3, some wanted 128 mp3. I tried to accommodate these requests and I found myself spending a lot of time making the different formats and properly labeling them. So, I regretfully had to make a decision that I would release in one format as a download and as streaming. Frankly I do not hear a difference between mp3 and ogg - but there is a difference in that every piece of hardware I own, including my car, can play mp3. This isn't true for ogg or flac. So I apologize for not meeting your request. I hope you can understand why. If it means you won't listen to my music then I will have to live with that.

Respectfully,

Chris
