Some items that might be of interest:

"One of the last movements began
with synthesized plucked sounds in an
unconventional tuning. I have always felt that
alternate tunings could give minimalist
textures the friction they often lack, while
minimalism provides the perfect stasis in
which to savor weird tunings: an inspired
marriage. For once, Glass tried it, with results
that whetted the appetite for more."

"At the same time, John Adams and Gyorgy Ligeti have
begun exploring new scales, as have the great many
composers now working with alternative kinds of tuning.

The world is humming with tonality, and there is no stopping it.
But equally, there is no going back. At least, there is no
going back in the name of musical or expressive truth."
