Theory

"The design principle: we want as many 7-note 2 3 5 7 9 11 13 complete otonalities as we can get. If we take one of those, offset it by 3/2 as a duplicate otonality, and then take the union of both otonalities, it's this 12 note constant structure scale." (Scott Dakota)

Scott Dakota also refers to this scale as Almond.
