Strange Diatonic

Using Fractal Tune Smithy I retuned my Roland GR-20 to this tuning

116.129
387.097
425.806
696.774
812.903
1006.452
2/1

Which is named: Strange diatonic-like strictly proper scale

I then improvised finger picking on my Fender Mustang. Most everything I hit was ok sounding.
I think the improvisation came out ok if you ignore the noise and a couple missed notes

Drifting to Sleep

Another improvisation set - guitars and synth - very ambient-ish - please try to ignore the 6 or so bad notes.
The GR-20 is tuned to an "optimized" 12 note tuning via fractal tune smithy - but this morning @ 1 am seems so long ago and I forgot which.

Nice to see it again! That turned up when I surveyed strictly proper seven-note scales in 31-et, along with a bunch of other interesting stuff, and I'm glad to have a chance to actually listen to one of those things.
