Musical style
Eliora's musical style primarily involves concepts that are deliberately not exactly most notable in order to create a contrast between consonance and dissonance, as well as broader free exploration of large EDOs. While she does frequently employ harmonic, regular temperament, or just intonation-based approach, she usually deliberately uses temperaments of higher badness or scales where a substantial number of notes are dissonant in order to create a qualia of resolution and melodic movement. The main influence on this approach is the post-Soviet musical school system, which is notable for its strict emphasis on masterful usage of consonance and dissonance.
A fair share of her compositions are composed in their temperaments for the first time in history. For example Mercury Spectrum Interlude is composed in Eliora’s original Mercury spectrum scale.
Structure-wise, Eliora's music is inspired by bands like Within Temptation, Epica, Evanescence, and Nightwish.
