An interesting timbre is really an evolving interesting tuning/harmony.
So the two are intimately intertwined.

However, investigating these relationships requires analysis of "the world
out there", which is more difficult than thinking about tunings and
harmonies generated abstractly.

In non-microtonal music (whatever that is), timbre and voicing is
already a huge issue, that musicians have been doing art with for
a long time. So it's something that's a little new and a little
strange but also I think quite natural for musicians.
