There is some microtonal "world music" (see Turkish / Arabic Ud / Oud players, e.g.).
People are also experimenting with different kinds of microtonal keyboards.

Ediit: oh, and if you'd like to taslk with someone competent about such subjects, there's this guy on here (seems pretty anti global establishment, too)
Think of your knowledge as being what is in a sphere; the surface outside the sphere is what you are aware of not-knowing. Thus, as you gain more knowledge, the surface grows and you only become aware of more things you don't know!
Something I learned while using a MIDI keyboard to compose and record indy music of my own: it sounds more natural and more interesting if you keep the accidental out-of-tune key strikes.

Fascinating stuff, thank you doctor
I'm pretty sure this is Music Theory 100 -- the very basics for idiots!
You can be really smart and also really really ignorant (about much, if not most)!
There are too many interesting subjects in this world, and not enough time to study them. Consider knowledge like a body of water:
-Some people are three feet wide and three miles deep (these are specialist who know a LOT about a little.
-Others are three miles wide and three feet deep (these are people who dabble in everything, they know a LITTLE about a lot.
Count me in the latter category, and even then, I no doubt know far less than I like to think I do.
And then there is this:
Think of your knowledge as being what is in a sphere; the surface outside the sphere is what you are aware of not-knowing. Thus, as you gain more knowledge, the surface grows and you only become aware of more things you don't know!
Ah, very good. That reminds me of this:
Oracle of Delphi called Socrates the wisest of them all, because Socrates alone admitted that he knew nothing.
Yes, the old "the more you know the less you know" trick.
And, on the Other-Other hand, I think this is also true (with e.g., art and nature):
"The more you know, the more you see.
And the more you see the more you know."
Nice, agree. Here's one of my favorite quotes on this conundrum:
The wise man knows that he does not know, and the prudent man respects what he does not control. --Reverend John Nicola

Still have one of your CD's!
Maybe after your kids have grown up and you retire you can get back into making more music!
