I resenlty have become interested in microtonal compositions and i was wondering if anyone else has dived into this area and has any suggestions on some good material (mostly stuff on the theroy behind it) to get started.

My first post here!

Here's what I can offer off the top of my head:

I'm a member of the Just Intonation Network (justintonation.net on the web) and the tuning group at Yahoo, and own about 20 books on tuning, I'm obsessive.

My favorite recordings:
Toby Twining's Chrysalid Requiem
Catler Brother's "Crash Landing" (microtones.com)
Any good barbershop quartetting (barbershop.org, youcansingtoo.com)

The best book on the subject: Harmonic Experience by WA Mathieu
Others worth checking:
The Just Intonation Primer (published by the network listed above)
Harmonograph (search Amazon)
Genesis Of A Music by Harry Partch
Tuning Timbre Spectrum Scale by Bill Sethares

Umm... the best links online: see groups.yahoo.com/tuning, and tonalsoft.com

That should do you for now. Barbershop quartetting is what got me hooked by the way, and still ranks as the most musical microtonality to me. It's not interesting for being experimental or different, it's just damn good.
