Microtona is a sixty-eight-page booklet with personal comments by the contributing microtonal artists. The booklet also includes a DVD which consists of 8 original video tracks and 9 original audio tracks. The project is an international one featuring unpublished pieces by composers from Iran, Japan, U.S., France, Austria, Germany and Belgium. In May 2015, Paul A.R. Timmermans selected and invited microtonal musicians from all over the world to contribute to this non-profit project. In his correspondence with potential contributors, Timmermans stated that they are contacted due to their “specific artistic approach… microtonal merits as an innovator (acoustically, digitally, soft), as a composer and/ or as a performer.”
