This Swedish band is using 24TET fretted guitar and bass, too bad they won't use it for anything else than sounding like a bunch of lawnmovers revving up in time.

Apparently they have a couple of videos out, but they only recent started using the microtonal instruments and this seems to be the only one with them.

I am ashamed to admit I kinda liked it. -C.

Thank you for sharing that. I love the sound of the quarter note (50 cent) runs. I have the impression there's a quarter run in the older more famous version of "These Boots Were Made For Walking". In that case I think it's played with a bottle neck.

Thanks.
Finally some western microtonal music that doesn't sound horribly out of
tune!
