I like it but something like a symphony can be too complex, requires full attention, which severely limits the amount I can listen to

why is it complex compared to an ordinary song?
 
It can be good. I love classical guitar/lute.

this checks out, microtonal/atypically tempered guitar music is like the aural equivalent to your face for some reason

I am quite the microtonalist myself. I build very poorly crafted microtonal lutes and unorthodox microtonal synthesizers. I am not very good at playing my own instruments though, I'm just a craftsman.

how did you get into that?

Autism. In middle school I was really into music production because I heard of Aphex Twin, particularly got obsessed with "math" music, unorthodox time signatures and rhythms, and then recreating the sound of acoustic instruments with digital synthesizers, to little avail. I tried building a "cigar box guitar", which I completely failed at because I only had a vague understanding of the form and physics of lutes. I got my grandfather's acoustic guitar in 8th grade, learned to play fingerstyle sort of, heard of King Gizzard, looked into 24edo/quarter tone stuff because of their Turkish classical inspired album, Wikipedia wormhole and consequently "xenharmonic wiki" wormholes taught me about all these microtunings and just intonation and tuning math. Made a functional fretless piezoelectric lute with a jigsaw and some hand tools, kept building other stuff. Then sophomore year I took an EE class in high school and a college digital electronics class and realized I could make synthesizers so then I looked at a bunch of shit on reddit and all over the internet and started building stuff, then designing stuff, and building stuff more. I have made a lot of synthesizers but they're not very cool to normies because they hate how they sound, but they can tolerate the microtonal lutes. Look up "ciat-lonbarde". Company run by Peter Blasser, he's my biggest inspiration in regards to the EE/synthesizer stuff, you might appreciate the philosophical aspects of the stuff he makes and writes. tl;dr special interests enabled by internet access and the cheapness of scrap wood and electronic components from china.

Comparable to the sound of knives, forks and spoons in a crowded restsurant

99% of people who "love it" only claim that because they were brsinwashed to think it's some higher form of art only intellectuals can truly enjoy, lmfao

- a guy who's read more classical literature than the rest of the forum combined (they call me rl)
