Since the early 2000's, I've had periods of high microtonal activity, and periods of none.  I owe a lot to [[Jacob Barton]], who has inspired me countless times and been my collaborator on such projects as Oddmusic Urbana-Champaign and the [[Xenharmonic Praxis Summer Camp]], where I was a teacher back in the day.  I have some songs featured in the [[Sagittal Songbook]], including one that appears on An Exciting Event's EP [https://anexcitingevent.bandcamp.com/album/hark-ye-music-lovers Hark Ye Music Lovers].  I also gave names to a few things that appear on this wiki, including [[Orgone]], [[Shoe]], [[Cartwheel|Cartwheel-17]], and the apparently meme-worthy [[Neutral third scales|Kleeth modes]].

I've experimented with supergluing wire frets to produce homebrew microtonal instruments (a la Dante Rosati), although I confess when the frets started falling off, I got discouraged and walked away from that.  I used to play [[22edo|22-tone]] guitar, [[88cET]] guitar, and a 20-tone JI dulcimer refretted that way; also cümbüş, a fretless Turkish lute, with a special focus on [[17edo]]; and a [[31edo|31-tone]] bouzouki refretted by Ron Sword.  The accompanying song-writing generated music for two bands that no longer exist: JARband and The Enslins.  I don't have those instruments anymore.
