A list of notable xenharmonic/microtonal bands. Live performance projects and studio recording projects that have more than a single member (for solo acts see Artists), which have a unified aesthetic (unlike contemporary classical ensembles which might play pieces by a wider range of composers), and whose work features alternative tuning systems heavily.
Please add to this page!
