Most of the music we hear in based on a system called 12 tone equal
temperament (or 12TET for short), where the octave is
divided into 12 equal parts. Microtonal music is generally defined as
any music that is not 12TET. Some folks base their music on the
harmonic series, some divide the octave into 19 or 31 equal parts,
some divide the octave into 43 unequal parts, some don't divide the
octave at all.... There are an infinite number of ways to choose your
tonal resources. Browse this page, and especially the links to pages of
other microtonalists. Check out the Notes on Microtonality, listen to the
sounds, make your own sounds.
