Music isn't for talking. Plenty of musicians visit microtonal forums to share recordings -- what else? Theory works with talking, but theory isn't music and there's only so much of two subjects a person can master. At least one artist did manage to understand and apply all major xenharmonic theory concepts though: Jason Yerger. Other theory-heavy successes include Kraig Grady, Marcus Hobbs, Ben Johnston, and Harry Partch. And serious theorists like Graham Breed have produced very listenable tracks.
