I don't shy away from dissonance with this one... – recorded with reverberation and delay – compression added after recording. I tuned the guitar by ear – what I came up with is below.

D#2 +36, G#2 +41, C3 -30, D#3 +36, F#3 +47 measured tuning
1/1 366.00000 677.00000 871.00000 1200.00000 reduced tuning in cents
– each fret is ~204 cents (a 9/8 just whole tone)
cents approximate JI interval
366 (16/13 tridecimal neutral third)
677 (40/27 grave fifth)
871 (28/17 septendecimal submajor sixth)

I don't really know what to think about this one, its sort of haunting, primitive sounding even, but also strangely beautiful.  I am not even sure why I like it, or even if I should like it.  It is assaulting my ears as much as it is assuaging them.  My brain struggles to bring the chaos into order here.......then it arises out of the mist every once in a while.

wow, those are some mighty interesting thoughts!

I am not even sure why I like it, or even if I should like it.

I think is the most interesting thing you said. I appreciate that you let your ears open up to different tuning possibilities. Not everyone does.
