I've invented a trombone capable of hitting quarter-tone intervals. Next, I'm working on a violin that can do it.
It sounds like what we used to call “White Noise”, or aural atmospheric sounds. Kind of a mix between sounds of my refrigerator in my first apartment
OR that Suspended Tension of a movie sequence, where you are looking for someone, you walk up into a quiet darkened attic, calling their name, the moment you fully enter their room, a bloody corpse on a braided hemp rope is somehow dropped from the rafters, and now swings to and fro in front of you, like a pendulum meant to hypnotize, the contorted face stares at you, unblinking eyes now glassed and bulging.
Quarter-tones are great. You just have to use 2 at a time.
