~~<pre>~~

~~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

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 interval|wolf tones]] and [[comma]]s, but also included some pure/[[JI]] consonances & there is also plenty of dissonance/tension available

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)~~

This is the scale in [[cent]]s:

+201 ~~(whole tone)~~

14.

+289 ~~(neogothic minor 3rd)~~

88.

+311 ~~(minor 3rd) +~~386 ~~(major 3rd)~~

187.

+498 ~~(perfect 4th)~~

201.

+520 ~~(wolf 4th) +~~583 ~~(narrow tritone)~~

289.

+680 ~~(wolf 5th)~~

311.

+702 ~~(perfect 5th)~~

386.

+716 ~~(comma-sharp 5th)~~

498.

+787 ~~(narrow minor 6th)~~

520.

+867 ~~(submajor 6th)~~

583.

+884 ~~(major 6th)~~

680.

+969 ~~(harmonic 7th)~~

702.

+991 ~~(minor 7th)~~

716.

+1013 ~~(comma-sharp minor 7th) +~~1066 ~~(grave major 7th)~~

787.

+1076 ~~(submajor 7th) +~~1102 ~~(major 7th)~~

867.

+1178 ~~(suboctave)~~

884.

+1200 ~~(octave)~~

969.

991.

1013.

1066.

1076.

1102.

1178.

1200.

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!
