Sevish - In the Zoom
Sevish is a super interesting
electronic musician I discovered from Adam Neely's YouTube Channel. He utilizes all kinds of wild tuning systems, ranging from just 1/4 tones to all kinds of wild 20+ tone equal temperaments. I was just beginning to learn about using 1/4 tone tunings in Ableton at the time I found this, and went on a bit of a rabbit hole listening to his discography. He began using microtonal tunings around 2010, which allowed him to create sounds that were completely impossible using Western 12 tone tuning. ([Sevish Homepage(https://sevish.com/biography/))

This song is from Sevish's
2019 album Horixens, which was my introduction to him. It's available on Spotify, and on his Bandcamp if you want to check it out in its entirety. This is song uses 23 TET (23 tone equal temperament), meaning the 12 tone scale we know is divided up into 23 equal parts, which gives you access to some incredibly wild intervals and chords. There are, in fact, names for most (if not all) of these extended, microtonal intervals which you can see here. It's pretty impressive that all that has been catalogued, haha.
