Why you should go Microtonal - The joy of Just Intonation

Two hundred and fifty years of using the same twelve notes makes it pretty hard to compose anything original. Using alternative tunings is one path to originality, and it can sound very pleasant. Here I advocate for using Just Intonation, for beautiful, consonant music. I focus on 7-limit tuning and develop a pentatonic scale with a showcase composition using that pentatonic scale.
