Reilly Spitzfaden (they/them) composes music for creatively designed acoustic instruments with a focus on timbre and tone color. In this episode, we discuss microtonality in three of their pieces, and an upcoming fourth piece in 14-tone equal temperament! We also discuss different viewpoints about what makes a tuning system xenharmonic, extended techniques, and more.
