Collection of microtonal chords

I did this with audacity. The base frequency is 264Hz and each chord has 5 pitches I obtain by multiplying the frequency by (ratio shown in each measure)^[0,1,2,3,4]

Very interesting. I have always wondered if there is any theoretical corpus on microtonal composition. Yes, I know that theory comes after practice, but with this microtonal music it happens the same as with atonalism..., that it is inevitable to look for references in tonal music so present.

Yes, there are pages and pages of theory about microtonal music. And it is true the ear always tries to find "tonality", but in this case I believe it is more about finding pitches that serve as anchor points. Also because I used sine waves and pure ratios it can also be linked to timbre.

The line between harmony and timbre is fascinating.
