Microtonal

Microtonal music is characterized by the use of intervals smaller than the traditional semitones of the Western music scale, exploring tones that lie between the standard twelve notes. This genre often employs alternate tuning systems, such as 24-TET (twenty-four equal temperament) or just intonation, allowing for a wider array of pitches and novel harmonies. Artists like King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have brought microtonal sounds into the realm of psychedelic rock, while others like Easley Blackwood and Sevish integrate microtonality into classical and electronic music, respectively. The result is a soundscape rich in exotic melodies and intricate sonic textures that challenge and expand our typical auditory experiences.
