Jude Thomas has been writing one piece in just intonation every day for the last 31 days. I’ve been checking many of these out as they’ve showed up on my Soundcloud stream. These tracks have plenty of moments with mind bending sonorities. Don’t even try to play along with your piano—this kind of music is microtonal to the core.

Untwelve.org has a yearly composition competition with the goal of promoting microtonal and xenharmonic music to new audiences. It’s an open competition with a cash prize, so if you are a musician you should get right on it…
