PHI melody example (could be the most beautiful melody I've ever written)

http://www.geocities.com/djtrancendance/PHIxcellence2.mp3

I had fun with this one.
This simple melody uses my own scale based on PHI (the golden ratio) using a mean-tone-like generation method for the tuning.
I think this could be the most beautiful melody I've ever written...having 9 notes of freedom per standard (2/1) octave instead of seven is definitely an unfair advantage. :-)

If any of you want to know the tuning details (IE want a scala file)...feel free to ask. :-)

I'll tell you what, man, all of this Phi based stuff makes no
theoretical sense to me, and I don't think it has anything to do with
the usual HE-based theories of anything around here, but there's
something to this, because it sounds great. There must be some
interesting mathematical properties here that make it so. Maybe the
fact that the HE of phi is so high has something to do with it.

And yeah, what scale are you using here?
