Consisting of three fully microtonal tubas, Microtub explores group tuba music from the perspective of microtonality. Colour-coded sculptural scores are used to define areas of harmonic space in Just Intonation, presenting geometric structures to be explored by the players over time.

Microtub have presented their music at various festivals such as Maerzmusik, Wien Modern, Sonic Acts in Amsterdam, Ultima Festival in Oslo, Borealis in Bergen, INTONAL in Malmö, Lumen Projects in Stockholm and FIMAV in Canada. Recently they have also premiered works by the composers Catherine Lamb and Ellen Arkbro 

They have released five albums since 2011. Check out their music here!
