Alternate Tunings (Again)

So shut up and play music...

Essentially this is tuned to a diminished chord (Eb-A-C-F#), and is naturally suited to playing chords, melodies and basslines that are 'symmetrical', meaning that melodic shapes can be shifted without changing fingering (like bar chords on guitar).

This is a groove which eventually became a song called 'Sin Eater' (which is still languishing with no words).

The chiming harmonics form an A minor 6 chord--not so far removed from diminished.
