		Johnny Reinhard is a microtonal composer and virtuoso bassoonist.
		Other rock artists using microtonality in their work include Glenn Branca (who has created a number of symphonic works for ensembles of microtonally tuned electric guitars) and Jon and Brad Catler (who play microtonal electric guitar and electric bass guitar).
		Microtonal music is a term for music which uses microtones -- intervals of less than a semitone, or as Charles Ives put it, the "notes between the cracks" of the piano.

	John Curtis Franklin - Microtone Definition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		‘Microtone’ is a modern term, and implies the twelve theoretically uniform semitones of our equal tempered system, from which the microtones may deviate.
		There is, however, a confusion in some of the sources, which seems to reflect historical developments in the use of microtones.
		Aristoxenus used chrôma to denote the chromatic genus, the tetrachords of which, in its textbook form (the toniaion chrôma), are divided as semitone + semitone + tone and a half.

		Microtonal music is a term for music which uses microtones-- intervals of less than a semitone, or as Charles Ives put it, the "notes between thecracks" of the piano.
		The term is also used to refer to any music whose tuning is not based on semitones, such as gamelan music and Indian classical music.
		Some Western composers have embraced the use of microtonal scales,dividing an octave into 19, 31, 43, 72 and other numbers of pitches such as the 24 tone quarter tone scale, rather than the more common 12.

	DESIGN FOR A MICROTONE AND BRAIN WAVE GENERATOR
		One method of microtonal control available to users of some MIDI systems is the utilization of preset tuning tables built into individual devices.
		Probably the most promising, but least implemented approach to microtonality in MIDI systems is the bulk tuning dump introduced in 1992 by the MMA.
		Some attempts to microtonally control the tuning of MIDI systems have involved the use of MIDI Pitch Bend data which bend the equally tempered pitches to the desired tuning.

	Math and Music, Microtonal Music Theory, Just Intonation
		Just intonation and microtonal music theory form the basis of all musical scales and musical tuning systems.
		Microtonal and just intonation composers and theorists have recently been working to re-establish the connection between math and music through the development of microtonal music theory.
		This Encyclopedia of Microtonal Music Theory is a group project and a work in progress.

		It is very easy to create tuning tables by typing in the steps as ratios or cents values; by cutting and pasting the values into the input window, or by compiling a list of scales from the 2000+ set of free Scala tuning tables.
		Once a MicroTone table is created, it is available as a binary file that can be read by a MIDI composing program; and the fully descriptive tuning table can be saved as a text file.
		Although MIDI MicroTone produces MIDI data that is not specific to any particular hardware or software, it was created primarily for use by Alogrithmic Arts's composing programs.

	Inner Octaves and Eastern Music
		The energy of microtones can reach the finer vibrations on the inner octaves of the listener’s being, but only when the listener is convinced the musician is playing that microtone intentionally.
		Deliberately choosing the moment the microtone is played serves to increases the audience’s feeling of certainty, an experience that can help to open one to receive the energy of the instrument and the energy of the music it carries.
		Even though it is not possible to play microtones on a piano, they found a way to overcome that, and thanks to their efforts, we now have a tradition of polyphonic music that is based on the knowledge of the inner workings of the octave, and the inner yearnings of humanity.

	microtone - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about microtone
		The Czech composer Alois Hába and Mexican Julián Carrillo composed in smaller divisions, and since 1984 Karlheinz Stockhausen has developed notations of up to 16ths of a tone for basset horn and flute, for example in Xi (1986) for basset horn.
		Normally microtones belong in the domain of expressive pitch variation in acoustic music, being difficult to notate and perform precisely because most instruments other than the voice or violin family are designed to produce tempered pitches, or have fixed frets or keys.
		When played against a drone, however, they become more clearly quantifiable as audible beat frequencies.

		I’ve been interested in microtonal music for quite some time, and offer this article to shed a little light on an often misunderstood subject.
		It's debatable whether many traditional folk players are playing or singing exact just intervals at all times, but it's clear that musicians of many styles use microtonal intervals as a powerfully expressive musical tool.
		I have used various instruments in the past few years to further my explorations of just intonation and microtonality.

		The Boston Microtonal Society is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote the composition, performance and study of microtonal music.
		The Boston Microtonal Society is devoted to the art of composing, improvising and performing new music with new musical intervals, period.
		However, our activities in general are centered more on the creative and practical aspects of music-making than on pre-compositional tuning theory, and we do favor music in which the "new" pitches are audible materials for musical innovation (as opposed to historical tunings, for example).

		Okay, here's where the microtone stuff looses me. I assume that they are just notes produces by higher overtones/harmonics than those that we use to generate the Ionian scale.
		You know, the octave is the first overtone (half the wavelenth), the perfect fifth is based on the second overtone (third the wavelength), and so on with the perfect fourth, major third, sixth, and I forget whether the second or seventh is next.
		If an A is a vibration of 440 cycles per socond, a microtone would be something a little less or more, but not enough to get to the next normal [diatonic] pitch, an A# for example.

		MIDI MicroTone gives you the ability to create arbitrary microtonal tunings that can be used with virtually any synthesizer or sound card.
		MIDI MicroTone creates tuning tables from three types of input: a single number to produce equal tuning tables of any size, tuning ratios, and cents values.
		If you are using ArtWonk, SoftStep or BankStep for your microtonal compositions you only need to use the Tone module instead of the Voice module for your final MIDI Note sends (ArtWonk and SoftStep), or check "Use PB Tuning" in the MIDI Out module (BankStep).

		Its great advantage over almost all other microtone systems is that it requires the user to learn only 3 new signs, and their inversions.
		For those folks who care to explore, there are a few other optional symbols (different sized flats, double flats, a cute little double sharp) buried in the key assignments, but not integral to the system.
		The font is now only available as a shareware download in Mac and PC versions, with all the support you require.

	Glossary: Microtone \| Sweetwater.com
		Much non-Western music, such as Indonesian gamelan and Indian classical music, and some twentieth-century art music is composed using microtonal scales.
		A practically unlimited number of intervals are possible, each with its own set of overtones and interactions with the others.
		Some western composers have employed microtonal scales, dividing an octave into 19, 24, 31, 43, 72 and other numbers of pitches, rather than the more common 12.

	Dolmetsch Online - Music Theory Online - Small Intervals
		If a semitone is half of a tone (in terms of cents), then anything smaller is classified as a microtone*, or microinterval, according to this definition.
		If we consider this second, more general application, we can easily see that there are a variety of artistic, theoretical and philosophical channels through which musicians may be drawn to those 'other intervals'.
		As a result there are a few different disciplines, only loosely inter-related, all of which may fall into the category 'microtonality'.

	question about microtonal music - Acoustic Guitar Forum
		A while back an issue of Acoustic guitar mag had an article about a specially made national with strange partial frets that were designed to specifically play one particular piece of microtonal music.
		I no longer have the article, but I recall it was discussing a theory of how to build scales that are different from the standard western do-re-mi etc. and include microtones.
		Does anyone know a good book on the subject of microtonal music, and how the scales are developed.
