The darker modes are radically different in character than the brighter modes. Because of the consonant 11/8 minor tritone and the 13/8 minor sixth, 11/8 sounds more like a stable scale function and the relatively dissonant 21/16 minor fourth wants to be a major third resolving up to the 11/8. | The darker modes are radically different in character than the brighter modes.

*[2 2 1] [2 1 2] [1 2] is a kind of Mixolydian | |||
*[2 1 2] [2 2 1] [2 1] is a kind of Dorian. I personally think this sounds better than Ultharian. | |||
*[2 1 2] [2 1] [1 3 1] is a kind of harmonic minor (also obtained by lowering the 7th degree of the Celephaïsian mode) | |||
*[1 3 1] [2 1] [1 2 2] is a kind of Phrygian dominant scale (which also contains 1 3 1 2 2 2 2, a chromatic modification of the Zo-Kalarian mode of the archeotonic scale). | |||
*[1 3 1] [2 1] [2 2 1] another Phrygian dominant | |||
