I take it to be very important thing for a novice to be able to use
the internet to hear what vast a range of microtonal music has been
made. The listening was just about the most important part of the
learning process for me, and I would love for it to be as easy as
possible for anyone at all to learn of all this.

I'm pretty sure I was going to form that into some sort of argument,
but I don't have the energy. However, here are some recent
discoveries which someone, anyone really, might find interesting.
They will be added to *the MMM listening list* (at the wiki wink wink)
in due time.

Mildred Couper, the late obscure quartertonal pioneer, has been
released into the great gushing internetted lifestream
http://www.library.ucsb.edu/speccoll/pa/pamss45.html

Arnold http://www.dreyblatt.net/ with all the harmonic-series jamz
you'll ever need...

Skip La Plante et al.! http://cdbaby.com/cd/mfhi which stands for
Music For Homemade Instruments, some of them clearly made to ooze
microtones from their pores. Man, I should have asked for this a
month ago when people were buying me stuff...

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=346893 The Super
Catler Bros. have one track of loveliness to offer,
"Hyperspace"...perhaps nothing new to connoisseurs...

The Tuning Punks? Alive?
http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=204999 The ghost
of long-lost-to-physics John Starrett, right?

And then Paul Rubenstein materialized out of thin air and posted the
nonoctave.com forum about some new 7tet piece,
http://helstab.com/music/ubertar/7tet.MP3 not to mention all the
pieces X.J. Scott has posted on that forum with no other way of
finding them.

Too much free time, all too well-spent, I hope.
