Briards are Sometimes Mistaken for Haystacks [17edo/17neji]

Special thanks to Jason Bono for inspiring this piece and for providing the photo of a haystack I used in the video.

This piece is essentially in 17edo, but the intervals are smoothed out to a nearly-equal just intonation (NEJI) scale in order to make the timbre sound a bit smoother. The particular scale is due to Zhea Erose:

106:110:115:120:125:130:135:141:147:153:159:166:173:180:188:195:203:212

D, which is the tonic of the piece, falls on 120. I actually only used 16 of the 17 tones in this piece; feel free to pay your respect to the missing note.

Tools used:
- MuseScore [score typesetting and video]
- Csound [audio synthesis]
- Shotcut [video editing]
