Today I experimented with the orchestration of the Buddha opening theme.
It was a challenge use the 2 pianos, because of the microtones in the other instruments.
Then I realised that using lower notes of the piano actually creates a mist of natural overtones which are 'out of tune' anyway, so the microtonal instruments can just slot themselves right in.
The nice thing about equal temperament is that almost nothing is really in tune according to the overtone series…
