Another grand master of microtonality is Jacob Collier: link link Probably the best example, especially the middle: ▶ this video
Except for voice [0], any fretless stringed instrument [1], any fretted string instrument with separate frets for sharps and flats [2], keyboard instruments that allow expression [3], keyboard instruments with split flat/sharp keys [4], and electronic instruments that allow unorthodox tunings without huge hassle [5]... I'm sure I'm missing some, but other than that you're totally right ;) [0] link , ▶ this video [1] link [2] link [3] link [4] link [5] link
"In the bleak midwinter" is an amazing recording: ▶ this video But the people who say it doesn't strike a chord with them do have a point. Here's Myrone doing something similar, with 1/10th the complexity but 10x the feeling: link
