Play it:
Microtonal Music is music using more than 12 tones per octave. I compose music using Csound and a preprocessor I wrote in Turbo Pascal. I post small updates as the compositions are being created, and a few final versions once I'm done. I strive towards music that could be played if we had the instruments capable of playing the notes. Think of it as "fake but accurate".

O Sacred Head, Now Wounded - #14
For this version, I switched from 72-EDO to pure just, to hear the effect. The samples I use are as in well tuned as I can get them, but I still hear beats in some chords, even with pure just intonation. Some of the samples move around in pitch as they transition from the attack to sustain. I can imagine those poor guys in a room playing into a microphone trying to hit a pitch. There's only so much you can do with human beings, I guess.
