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.

Discography and socials

Invented scales

6ed7/3+7edo scale

Main article: 6ed7/3 § 6ed7/3+7edo scale

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:

"

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

alot of the 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!

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)

"

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.

Edos that approximate the Moonglade scale especially well for their size include:

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

Edos with especially good approximations of this scale for their size are:

Octave-reduced variant

This works well in the same edos the regular scale does. You can choose to keep or leave the 3/2 (reduced 6/1):

  • 11/10
  • 7/6
  • 40/27
  • 3/2 (optional)
  • 7/4
  • 2/1
