Although I have yet to compose anything, I have on occasion thought that "notes between the notes" (to borrow a term from _Hear Between the Lines_) would be fitting in certain circumstances. Several months ago, I stumbled upon the great radiation of microtonal music that is occurring on YouTube thanks to the advent of (semi-)affordable microtonal keyboards and software synthesizers that actually sound good. Surprisingly, the recent microtonal profusion seems to have a great overlap with a profusion of new classical music. In addition, I have found interest in old music that would now be thought of as xenharmonic, such as early Baroque works in quarter-comma meantone. And even if I never compose any microtonal music myself, this experience, including readings on this Xenharmonic Wiki, have been a wild ride in learning what it is that makes today's dominant system of 12 equally spaced notes per octave actually work well. | Although I have yet to compose anything, I have on occasion thought that "notes between the notes" (to borrow a term from _Hear Between the Lines_) would be fitting in certain circumstances.
