That was pretty interesting.

Yeah, kinda...idk what I'd be looking for from microtonal rock.

dunno about how it applies to jazz, but I researched some microtonal theory recently. Our familiar music divides the octave into 12 tones, but you can divide it in other ways too. Some work better than others, e.g. 5 tones gives a pentatonic scale, but harmonic music can also be found in other divisions, e.g. 53-TET is 53 tones, others that work include 19-TEThttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVZy9GUeMqY

ogmor - just saw this. Would you recommend a particular record?

This is tearing my head apart, kind of (h/t Drugs A. Money). Not 100% sure what to make of it but it's definitely interesting and I like Fiuczynski's tone a lot: https://giorgimikadze.bandcamp.com/album/georgian-microjamz

By ear, I can't tell at all what kind of tuning system they're using tbh.

there's a fella in Australia called Kraig Grady who has done microtonal work that I've really enjoyed
I wouldn't call it jazz (possibly jazz adjacent at times - I've seen him play with Chris Abrahams of The Necks for instance)
alongside the music is some loose world-building around the (fictional) island of Anaphoria, kind of fourth world vibes
in a fairly unexpected development, DJ Bonebrake from X plays on one of his records
