Invented scales
(Ordered from oldest to most recently invented.)
Moonglade scale
In a public post on the Xenharmonic Alliance Discord server, in September 2025, Gutierrez described the scale she used in her piece 'Moonglade'. This was the post:
hiii im new to discord& pretty new to making music & microtonality but i would like to share a custom scale i made (& used in my song "moonglade" which is on all distrokid-supported streaming platforms, in the ep "luna" by maeve gutierrez (me)).i focused mainly on shimmery intervals/textures like wolf tones and commas, but also included some pure/JI consonances & there is also plenty of dissonance/tension available:3 obviously if anyone wants 2 use it u can!! i dont own the intervals!!! its a fun scale to play with for harmony/thick chords (moonglade is a very old word that means the moonlight shining on oceans, lakes etc) +0 (unison) +14 (comma) +88 (flat minor second) +187 (flat whole tone) +201 (whole tone) +289 (neogothic minor 3rd) +311 (minor 3rd) +386 (major 3rd) +498 (perfect 4th) +520 (wolf 4th) +583 (narrow tritone) +680 (wolf 5th) +702 (perfect 5th) +716 (comma-sharp 5th) +787 (narrow minor 6th) +867 (submajor 6th) +884 (major 6th) +969 (harmonic 7th) +991 (minor 7th) +1013 (comma-sharp minor 7th) +1066 (grave major 7th) +1076 (submajor 7th) +1102 (major 7th) +1178 (suboctave) +1200 (octave) alot of these intervals also exist between intervals: flat whole tone is a -14 comma lower than the whole tone, the harmonic major chord triad (+0,+386,+969) has a natural +583 tritone between the 3rd and 7th, etc!
6ed7/3+7edo scale
= Gutierrez-Lambeth quasi-subharmonic pentatonic
In a public post on the Xenharmonic Alliance Discord server, in September 2025, Gutierrez described the 4-tone JI chord 7/6 - 40/27 - 11/5 - 7/2.
In a reply, Budjarn Lambeth noted that the shape of the step pattern looked like the subharmonic series, and adding a 6/1 would preserve this shape.
Gutierrez thought the 6/1 was a great addition and resolved to use this scale/chord in a future piece.
Its intervals are:
- 7/6
- 40/27
- 11/5
- 7/2
- 6/1
