  1. (music, rare) Xenharmonic music generally.
    • 1978 September, Ivor Darreg, “A Xenharmonist's Message to the Computer Musicians”, in Computer Music Journal, volume 2, number 2, The MIT Press:
      Why, I can't even call myself avant-garde or experimental these days because that does not imply escaping the 12-tone squirrelcage; so I had to introduce the term xenharmonics to mean something that SOUNDS different.
