His name's John Cutler, I believe.  He has a brother who's a fretless 
bassist,
playing in the same 31-note/octave scale.  They both played in LaMonte 
Young's
Forever Bad Blues Band, who put out a double CD-set of...um...interesting
blues stomps, all in equal temperament.  It's pretty jarring to hear those 
I-
IV-Vs in their ideal forms.
