I really love it, and it fulfills my original premise for triple courses. It also creates a very dense and beautiful maze of a harmonic environment. As an experiment, I tried tuning one of the triple courses to a triadic chord. With all the tone cluster tunings, I'd yet to arrive at trying anything within the realm of tertial harmony.
