Sounds crazy, but craziness can be creative. Seemingly no unambiguous key note to the scale, some E-minor, some of both B-minor and B-major, an A-minor-chord, big gaps/intervals in the upper notes, a jazzy blue-note Bb, really wonder what the client's musical ideas are....
the short explanation was trying to fit some John Zorn and Hania Rani into 15 notes. the longer version is that I wanted both natural & harmonic E minors which enables an almost modal, half tone tonic motion (here with B7-Cmaj7) which appears in Zorn's Tharsis and Wes Montgomery's Twisted Blues, but also more popular songs like the A section of Night in Tunisia (Eb-D) or Miserlou (F-E); a full octave of diminshed (C3 to C4), the Bb works as a blue note, but also gives a Gb major in a E minor sound, which I quite like (i II iv V7). Lastly I got inspired by the Astronaut scale to keep upper notes more spaced. In any case, I am looking to pair the sounds with other instruments, once I can do some recording with it :D also, the percussive and rhythmic aspect of the instrument is as important if not more than the harmony. but it's fun to tickle the crazy side of things the whole process was an unreasonable amount of fun, stressing my amateur knowledge of music theory, and thanks to Maksim for patiently considering my 6+ iterations over different scale ideas and his effort to help there.
@@marmadukenukem Thanks for the extensive explanation, seems like this scale enables versatile stilistic possibilities. Hope you share your results with this instrument to the world via RUclips😉.
