music question: deliberate use of untempered tunings?

    So modern music has so far as I know, pretty completely adopted the thing where all half-steps are the same ratio, 1 to twelfth-root-of-two, such that all intervals are pretty much harmonious and transposition is no problem at all. What I'm wondering is, has anyone done stuff where the notes are tuned to ratios-of-integers and used the dissonant intervals on purpose? Cause it seems like that could produce some really cool effects for an industrialish kind of sound or weird experimental stuff.

    i am not aware of anythign but i think you might have luck getting at least the basics of technical shit from the rennaissance recon music people. I'm vaguely aware there exists such a scene but I couldn't point you to it.
    It sounds super interesting! I know for a fact that playing old pieces on actually tuned-pre-well-tempered-piano-style sounds SUPER cool
