Blue Eleven piano piece

I was thinking about 21/16, the "blue fourth". It's kind of a dissonant interval, plus it's overshadowed by 4/3. Could it ever get used in a chord? So I came up with the blue eleven chord:
1/1 3/2 7/4 9/4 21/8
This piece, just a study really, alternates between Ab major and Ab blue eleven.
The trick seems to be keeping the tonic down low and the blue 4th up high to create a 21/4 ratio, almost as good as a 16/3.

Hey cool. Welcome aboard, Kite. Sweet sounds too. As a
bare dyad, 21/16 is pretty dissonant. But on top of a chord
like this, it can work beautifully.
