Blue Shifted Shades

"Tetrachromia" is a piece for piano, percussion, and 18 electric guitars (plus electronic effects). The 18 guitars are divided into six groups of three, which are detuned to very specific intonations.
Guitar 1,2,3 +/-0 cents
Guitar 4,5,6 -16.67 cents
Guitar 7,8,9 -33.33 cents
Guitar 10,11,12 -50 cents
Guitar 13,14,15 -66.67 cents
Guitar 16,17,18 -83.33 cents
This evenly divides 1 half-step into 6 different pitches, which means instead of 12 notes per octave, there are now 72 notes per octave. This is called 72-Tone Equal Temperament, and it allows for some truly exotic harmonies, very gradual pitch shifts, as well as a much more accurate realization of the Harmonic Series.
