Talking of polymicrotonality....
I am currently working out a "mutant mix" scale made from
of (get this):
- primitive Pelog (cents: 102, 258, 522,
678, 780, 936, 1176)
- Pelog in JI intervals of 31, 37 & 59
- Pelog in pitches from 9 & 27tET

combined with:
- a JI version of hemiolic chromatic
- parachromatic (cents: 83.333, 166.667,
500, 700, 783.333, 866.667, 1200)
- a 27tET version of both hemiolic chromatic
and parachromatic

From what I have done with JiCalc & a shareware
tone generator, it sounds quite alien & odd in comparing
with "real" Pelog & Lou Harrison's Pelog-like variations.
I like it a whole lot... I think I'll stick with just the
"bifurcations" & mutations of this Pelog-like scale ....
i.e. combining this 31-37-59 Pelog with a "bifurcated" Pelog
27tET variation ... best of both JI & ET "strangeness"...

er, sorry, I do not have the means to ...
later - when I have my microtonal synth set-up -
I can make audiotapes...
