Maeve Gutierrez is a producer of microtonal hyperpop, ambient and other experimental electronic music. In her music, she has explored 27edo, 31edo and various just intonation scales among other tunings. She is also a music theorist who extensively uses Scale Workshop.
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:

(moonglade is a very old word that means the moonlight shining on oceans, lakes etc)
"
This is the scale in cents:
- 14.
- 88.
- 187.
- 201.
- 289.
- 311.
- 386.
- 498.
- 520.
- 583.
- 680.
- 702.
- 716.
- 787.
- 867.
- 884.
- 969.
- 991.
- 1013.
- 1066.
- 1076.
- 1102.
- 1178.
- 1200.
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
Ed6s with especially good approximations of this scale for their size are:
