Microtonal music is music that includes intervals outside of those from the customary Western tuning of twelve equal divisions of the octave (12edo). The boundaries of microtonal music are fuzzy for various reasons, namely cultural context and psychoacoustic effects.
Terminology
Several terms have been proposed with more or less similar definitions. A notable example is "xenharmonic music", coined by Ivor Darreg, which describes music that sounds significantly different from 12edo.
