In Cold Hell, in Thicket is a microtonal musical setting of Charles Olsen reading his poem in 1950 as provided by PennSound. The orchestration is choir in 14 edo, hang drums in 7, 14, and 21 edo, and percussion. A microtonalist may point out the 7 and 14 edo are subsets of 21 edo – however, since each iteration of hang drum used the same score the result is a polytuned interpretation of the hang drum score.

Oz, this is in some boring typical genre. I just can't figure out which one. Perhaps Wiccan dances for epileptics? Not sure.
