Costa: Enharmonic Study (31edo version). 3.8
31edo
technically impressive but not fun to listen to
Costa: Debussy's "Syrinx" arranged for flute quartet. 4.4
Costa: Messaien's "O Sacrum Convivium". 2.8
Timbre isn't as good as syrinx, piece isn't as interesting, microtonalism isn't as apparent...
dogwithabome: to have my bones be one with the river. 3.7
fascinating short sketch
DotuXil: Collected Refractions: A Multitude of New Colors. 2.6
the emphasis is clearly more on production than tuning
DotuXil: Collected Refractions: Odd Harmonic. 2.3
not a fan of the voice
feels very lacking in variation between consonance in dissonance.
last few seconds are great
E8 Heterotic (Chris Simmons): Glaukos Circuit. 1.5
Groundfault: A New Dusk. 3.3
Worse than the sum of its tracks. Hard to listen to in full, and the timbre of the bass isn't great. The composition itself is great though.
Hunt: Equal-Tempered Keyboard: Prelude in 14et. 3.3
Jumble: Azure. 4.5
Nuorvala: Violin sonata. 5
fantastic work
Osmium: Heartbeat. 4
Serafini: Do Androids Dream of 18ed2?. 3.6
Sintel: Top Ten most Epic fish of all time. 3.8
too many non-xen movements. Would score a 4.3 if everything was xen.
Tapeworm Saga: Languor Study. 4.5
Tapeworm Saga: A quick quintet, music for 5 EWIs in 17edo. 3
Production really holding this one back, but I don't love the writing as much as Languor Study either.
Wrenharmonic: Larger than the Oceans. 3.5
Domin
Johnston: String Quartet No 4. 5
Unque
Blackwood: Etudes: 15edo. 4.5
I cannot stress enough how influential this piece was for me. This was the first piece that convinced me that radically-xen tunings like 15edo were worth getting into.
Jumble: Undiminished. 3.5
This one has a bouncy energy to it that I really enjoyed, but I can't help but feel that it doesn't quite justify its usage of such a massive EDO for such a relatively low degree of melodic variety.
DotuXil: Collected Refractions: Odd Harmonic. 3.8
If I wasn't sold on the value of nonoctave tunings before listening to this, I was absolutely convinced afterwards. 13edt is far from my favorite representation of BPS (nor is BPS my favorite nonoctave tuning in general), but this piece makes it work very well.
Groundfault: A New Dusk. 5
Even outside of xenharmony, this is the type of music I'd be into, and the usage of microtones feels genuinely natural rather than purely novel. By far among my favorite albums of all time, xenharmonic or otherwise.

iconic, beautiful

lots of fun
Blackwood: Etudes: all others. 1.3 (Hi! hkm here. Including this line will cause the ranking on the main page to have "Etudes: all others" as a work with a ranking, which is not helpful. I think that by making this comment here I'm also removing this entry from being counted by the program.)
less fun
Groundfault: A New Dusk. 0
compositionally a hot mess. i don't like HATE it but something has to be the 0
