Hello everyone.
Now when i refer to microtonal music, i am not refering to the middle eastern maqams, all though that is a part of it.
I am refering to equal devisions of the octave besides 12, as 12 is what we all are used to in modern life.
I wonder if anybody likes microtonal music, just intonation, or the harmonic series, and if so, i encurrage you all to check out some artists, mainly Harry Partch and Sevish.

Wow! Glad I have a fellow enthusiast about such music. Saying that, it has to be used right. Do you know Dolores catherino? Don't know if I spelled that right, but some of her compositions are rather cool.

Oh, and there's one thing by Michael Harrison, which was really exciting to listen to for me as well.

good to find someone who likes microtunings and tuning systems! My favorite tuning is 22 equal devisions of the octave, or EDO

I've never heard of this, so don't know what this kind of music is.

it's basially where the notes are much smaller, and they may sound closer together
