This is my rendition of Glósóli by Sigur Rós, from the 2005 album Takk. It really doesn't take 211 keys in an octave to play this, but it's nice to be able to play it in Just Intonation, with different pitches depending on the voice leading. This is a single take. I tried to capture some of the grandeur of the original, though that is really impossible, and I hope you won't think my effort is too lame … get the real thing here (IMHO possibly the best music video ever made).

The keyboard is a TPX6s with custom color scheme which I built for SYZYGYS keyboardist and composer Hitomi Shimizu. How do you like the colors?
