=== Sleep Drifter (King Gizzard and the Lizzard Wizard) ===
The original is in 24-edo, which 41-edo can approximate fairly well. The scale I chose is the equi-minor scale, P1 ~2 ^m3 P4 P5 ~6 ^m7 P8 or F# ^^G ^A B C# ^^D ^E F#. I could have approximated 24edo even better by using the plain minor 3rd and 7th. But the upminor sounds better to my ear, and is less awkward to play.
There's ony two chords, I^m and ^bVII^m (F#^m and ^E^m). As usual with minor scales, the 4th is fuzzy. During the ^E^m chord, the B note changes to ^B. One could consider these two chords to be F#5 and ^E5 dyads, or F#^m7 and ^E^m7 tetrads. It depends on what you call melody and what you call harmony.
There is a frequent melodic ornament that uses a hammer-on and a pull-off to rapidly alternate between ^^G and G#, or between ^^D and D#. The opening riff runs down the scale from C# to F# a 12th below, using this ornament several times on the low ^^G note.
