    I like the music and the execution, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t bored of the conversation around them.

    It especially bothers me when people talk about their use of microtonality as if they’ve revolutionized the concept. There’s plenty of existing, established music systems that use microtones constantly, with millions of people listening daily. In their system, they are just tones that exist in different modes or hierarchies, not microtones, but we tend to dismiss is as foreign and therefore irrelevant to eurocentric music standards.

    That’s not to say that everyone is doing this. I just happen to see it more often, personally.
