Unque's tier list of EDOs from 1 - 53

I am Uncreative Name, or Unque! I'm a xenharmonic theorist and/or composer, most well-known on the Xenharmonic Alliance Discord for my contributions to the xen meme scene.

I learned of the Arabic Maqamat a few years ago when I was studying non-Western music traditions, and I was especially intrigued by the presence of the neutral intervals in Jins Rast and other scales. This kickstarted a weird rabbit hole where I learned about the harmonic series, Just Intonation, and various Equal Divisions of the [your name here].

My favorite xen EDOs are 15, 17, and 22; I also like experimenting with nonoctave tunings (24edt is a favorite of mine), and I use pure JI from time to time. My favorite abstract tunings include Porcupine, Sohajira, Archy, Mavila, Squares, Orwell, and Sensi, and anything with Semifourths.
