"Elegy, for Jon" is a JI retuning/rearrangement of a piece called "Solar
Midnight" from Complex Silence 4 (which used a non-rational Phi-based
tuning).  Unbeknownst to me, I finished it on the day that my closest
friend Jonathan Gams passed away, and it is offered in his memory.

Made with Csound and blue using Kraig Grady's Centaur tuning.

Dave,

I really enjoyed the piece, especially the raspy/reedy sounding low
drone voice. What are you using to make that sound?

Thanks, Aidan.  I'm using, for each of the three voices, two instruments 
in unison: one made with the 12 instances of the mode opcode, the other 
made with 12 instances of the streson opcode. In both cases, I'm using a 
series of ratios derived from the golden number (1.618).
