Another new one.

The mood of this one is quite unlike the previous one, with a nice dark 
subminor hirajoshi scale for the melody. The smooth JI harmony in the 
tonic key gives it a nice relaxing flavor.

The scale is almost JI, but with two slightly tempered notes to take 
advantage of the 225/224 and improve the harmonic potential of this 
scale. As a 12-note 7-limit scale, it's similar to a number of others, 
but I couldn't find an exact match.
