Hi Steve,
Hypertonality means having quarter tone intervals, so there are 34
tones per octave, tuned in just intonation. This scale is derived from
generating a harmonic series on each successive pitch in a single
harmonic series taken from a chosen fundamental.
Used by Penderecki in his 1960 masterwork "Threnody for the Victims of
Hiro****ma" -- about as difficult a piece of music as one could ever
encounter: written for 52 string players.
