I'm pleased to once again have composer John Franek as a guest on a Behind the Score episode. John has just had his work Radiolarium premiered in Amsterdam, and the instrument is a pipe organ that divides the octave into 31 equally tempered notes. This is a fascinating discussion and piece of music. I hope you enjoy!

I like music and math, so this was really uplifting and enjoyable. Well done, John.

Totally fascinating, and I found the music hypnotic and beautiful. I was intrigued by the question of why 31 intervals, and googled 31TET. A very interesting Wikipedia article helps illuminate this as being around the problem of the third (which ET really doesn't deal with well according to some).
