From the perspective of most tuning-listers, it's probably only a little more freaky than average. From the perspective of the average Western (culture) ear, I guarantee ya, it'll get'em screamin' in six notes flat! But whatever your perspective, it's definitely CONCENTRATED xenharmony. It could perhaps be described as the simplest formulation of just 7 steps, and goes all the way up to a 13-limit.
