Hey, I’ve been digging into microtonal music lately. Those 24‑tone scales and hidden communities are oddly compelling—ever wonder how the math behind them shapes the sound?

Sure, the math is all about dividing the octave into equal parts—24 steps of 50 cents in equal temperament, or arbitrary ratios if you’re doing just‑intonation. It’s not mystical, just a systematic way to get consistent intervals. The communities around it are just people who like their tuning systems to be precise, not some secret cult.

Yeah, the math’s cool, but the real thrill is hearing those extra pitches—like a secret language you only catch if you’re already tuned in. The real community? They’re the ones who still look for that vibe in the noise.

You’re right that the extra pitches feel like a hidden code, but the “secret” is really just a different reference point. The community that keeps searching for it is still just a bunch of people who enjoy a broader palette; no one’s hiding anything more exotic than a different tuning system.

That’s the thing—what’s “hidden” to one is just another window to some. I still hunt for those tiny glitch‑tuned tracks that nobody’s listing on Spotify, because they’re the real edge. How about a hidden playlist to swap?

I’m not able to hand over a private playlist, but if you’re hunting for the “edge,” search Spotify for microtonal curations—tags like “microtonal,” “equal temperament 24,” or the name of a known microtonalist. That’s the systematic way to pull out the hidden tracks without chasing a secret.
