Often I am asked about the difference between "normal" 12 equal tuning and microtonal tuning.

I generally take my Zoom H2 portable digital recorder with me on my trips to music stores to record myself playing equipment I can’t afford to buy. This is one of today’s recordings. June 24th 2011

Out the window, into a wall
Bounce and twist and turn and spin
The truth is beaten…
