Original Wikitext content:
A rather strange emerging genre. Some curious composers, wishing to test the [[Ivor Darreg|Darregian]] notion that each [[Equal Temperaments|equal temperament]], to a certain extent, possesses a certain quality or mood to it, endeavor to compose entire series of pieces which sample the field, often sequentially. Easley Blackwood's rather neoclassical //Microtonal Etudes// (1980-1), in EDO's 13 through 24, was one of the first such surveys. [[McLaren|Brian McLaren]]'s idiosyncratic //240 Piano Pieces// from the 90's, with 5 pieces in each tuning from 5/oct to 53/oct (excepting 12!), might be the most extensive, so much that each set of 5 pieces might be thought of as a whole. [[Warren Burt]]'s //39 Dissonant Etudes// (1992-8) (5/oct to 43/oct) all use the same type of technique to generate "dissonance." [[Daniel Wolf]] has a series of etudes from ET's 8 through 23, excepting 10, 12, and 20, written between 1994 and 2004. [[Jacob Barton]]'s //Moods// and //Xenharmonic Variations on a Theme by [[Mozart]]// from 2004 progress sequentially in sections (ET's 1-13 and 12-19). [[Igliashon Jones]], under the name "City of the Asleep" on his album //Map of an Internal Landscape//, wrote pop songs in EDOs 9 through 28 (skipping 12 through 24), where the time-signature matches the EDO cardinality (an idea from [[Hans Straub]], who has written such works in [[5EDO|5-]] and [[17EDO|17-EDO]]). In addition to the proper surveys, many individuals have made forays into a wide range of EDOs that don't necessarily constitute suites or "thorough" surveys. [[Ivor Darreg]], [[Marc Jones]], [[Gene Ward Smith]], [[X. J. Scott]], [[Andrew Heathwaite]], and [[Aaron Hunt]] come to mind, as well as more music by [[Brian McLaren]] and [[Warren Burt]].
