But again, isn't this primarily a "western" phenomenon? That makes me think it isn't quite so clear cut Side note: yes, I love love jazz in all its forms ^^

- analog31 5y agoWe know it goes all the way back to the ancient Greeks, don't know its prior origins or if it developed in parallel in other places.
- netizen-936824 5y agoThe use of microtones, or rather lack thereof, is what I'm referring to (from a comment by pythko): >I believe the GGP meant to refer to “microtones,” which are frequencies that don’t fall into the Twelve Tone Equal Temperament tuning system. These are commonly used in non-western music (Indian music is a typical example), and occasionally in some western music styles (blues, some jazz, some sub-genres of rock, maybe), but you’re not going to find microtones in most western music.
