I am Eufalesio, a music producer, classically trained in Spain (RCSMM, Madrid), and a former MSMTuber. I speak Spanish natively and I am fluent in English. (My Soundcloud page needs some retouching...)

Background
Just Intonation has irreversibly the way I hear music, and it has made my career inside my conservatory quite jarring; Classical repertoire (barring historicist interpretations) and the overwhelming majority of the contemporary classical music I was forced to listen, were wholly based in 12EDO, with 24EDO being the "utter maximum" of pitch deviation tolerable.
My view on microtonality
I don't hate 12EDO, the so called "equal temperament", its fifths are incredibly precise for its small size, and I've come to the conclusion that it is a very practical temperament for 3-limit music. Its place in modern day music is well earned, but I think that most people don't take full advantage of 12EDO, for example, its 17 and 19 harmonics, which are very well tuned (by virtue of being a "pythagorean tuning")
My pet peeve with 12EDO is that while it is the lowest EDO which can reliably be used for 5-limit (NOT 7-limit), I've grown to hear its approximations of them as too crude. It's a pythagorean tuning trying to masquerade as meantone. 72EDO offers a much better harmonic approximation while being very easy to build in a DAW.
EDOs and temperaments serve a practical purpose, achieving maximum JI accuracy whilst offering minimum complexity, ease of conceptualization, and practicality. Having composed many pieces for diverse ensembles (and an opera, which I have yet to upload...), I reached the conclusion that the best way to approach microtonality, at least the kind that approaches JI, is to use electronics. Using acoustic instruments or raw interpretative skill requires a level of finesse and customization of building to which I have not the access to, neither on musicians or instrument luthiering.
Interests
Music
My main drive in music is expanding tonality with higher-limit JI: at the very least in the 5- or 7-limit, and at the very most in the 23- or 29- limit.
My fav edos are thusly 12, 19, 22, 31, 53, 72, 94, 159, 217, 311. I'd love to compose in 311edo but I have not yet found a way to do so.
The biggest EDOs I would compose in are 217 and 311, since they offer a high quality representation of the 31-limit. I will not use EDOs any higher than 311 because it's already a god-tier EDO, any higher and the step size is way too small to be faithfully percieved.
The next EDO that achieves a similar level of consistency is 1600EDO, which is almost consistent to the 45-odd-limit, missing 50/39 and 39/25, but those intervals can be easily fudged into 9/7 and 14/9.
My fav scales are 5L2s (hard or soft), 5L7s (supersoft) and 12L5s (superhard), alongside 5L6s (ultrahard).
Big fan of other unequal JI scales such as Nicetone, or 24:26:28:30:32:36:39:42:45:48, which I dub the "harmonic bipentachord"
! harbipenchord13.scl ! 24:26:28:30:32:36:39:42:45:48 made into a scale, "harmonic bipentachord" 9 ! 13/12 7/6 5/4 4/3 3/2 13/8 7/4 15/8 2/1
And the Carlos harmonic scale. My approach to these JI scales is either fudging or tempering with EDOs.
Worldbuilding
I have a hobbyist worldbuilding project on a distant world called Iekyaa, with a heavy dose of speculative evolution, althistory, linguistics, conlanging, OCs, speculative metaphysics, and magic. Overall a weird mix of Avatar the Last Airbender and My Hero Academia, with some heavy specevo and worldbuilding, among other references I may not speak of here.
I have also developed a general music notation for this world but I have yet to upload it.
