Aha! I have a CD of Warren Burt's music. I think it's called "Etudes
for Microtonal Piano" or something, its on Tall Poppies (the pre-eminent
Australian label AFAIKT). Its pretty cool, he takes the octave and breaks
it into 6 to 42 equal parts, and uses each one (division system) to compose
(electronically) an "etude" with strange tunings. Very click-and-bang. I
like it. Reccomended to students of microtonalism, Tui St. Tucker, etc.
