I was talking to a very smart man the other day. He's a music person. He said why is it such a hard and fast Western music rule that we have confine ourselves to 12 tones? Twelve tones that are a semi tone apart. Why can't we do music in quarter tones, or even smaller increments? I mean, Indian music has smaller intervals. So, I thought I'd do a little experiment. What would a song with quarter tones in it sound like? It actually sounds more regular than I thought it would sound.
