I don't know if the scale I used here has a name. It has the following intervals:

384/343
8/7
147/128
64/49
21/16
512/343
3/2
49/32
12/7
7/4
96/49
2/1

It was constructed using the following steps:

* Take a septimal whole tone above and below the root.
* Take a perfect fifth up from the root, and take a septimal whole tone above and below it too.
* Take the resulting six-tone scale and transpose it a septimal whole tone up twice and down once.

There are twelve notes in the scale for keyboard compatibility. Practically it has only nine tones, since a perfect fifth is equal to three septimal whole tones up to a very good approximation.

Great job, I can really hear those septimal intervals... sorta reminds me of C418 if he wrote microtonal music, the vibes and atmosphere here are excellent!

Sample sources:

https://freesound.org/people/Defelozedd94/sounds/522299/
https://blacklotusaudio.com/product/dianna-free-vocal-sample-pack/ (404)
Can't trace the source of the last one.

Also, it turns out this scale can be approximated really well by 31EDO, where a perfect fifth is 18 divisions wide, and a septimal whole tone is 6 divisions.

36edo would also work, it's excellent at the 2.3.7 subgroup and also tempers out the 1029/1024 comma... nice job showcasing the septimal intervals, like matt said you can really hear them well in this piece

Thanks Jangler. By the way, I found that the scale I used here is a mode of Mothra. (Mixolydian Mothra?)

frog noises :) great atmosphere and melodic writing, sounds so nicely improvisational (also the piano makes me think of the ravel left hand concerto in some way? while also having prepared piano vibes)
