:::Interesting. I've tried various diatonic tunings to make some modes have different degrees of consonances. I think 17edo and 39edo are great for Locrian and other minor modes (or 46edo if you need the major third to be less grating). Those tunings make the diminished fifth and minor seventh sound more restful and consonant and major thirds more dissonant; the small steps are also nice. A side effect is that secondary dominants on a major key tonicizes that major key a bit less, so it retains that element of familiarity while also being dynamic, which is useful for writing in those modes. It's the opposite for Lydian, for which 26edo is ideal for consonance. [[User:IlL|IlL]] ([[User talk:IlL|talk]]) 17:31, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

:::: Actually, Space Tour uses Locrian mode in in the following portions of the song:
 
:::: *0:14-1:12
:::: *7:30-8:30
:::: *14:52-17:04
 
:::: Furthermore, my approach to Locrian is a bit different, as detailed on [https://www.reddit.com/r/microtonal/comments/k699g6/space_tour_159edo_approximation/gelgkxr?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 my relevant comment on the Space Tour page on reddit], I even give examples of how Locrian chord progressions operate, and it seems the flat-five best carries out the function I mention in that comment when it's set to something in the vicinity of [[64/45]].  What I didn't mention on reddit is that Locrian is even capable of circle progressions if you play your cards right. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 17:41, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
