I think you are using voices with a tonal spectrum that is a little wide for the scale, it sounds as if there is some additional detuning, plus quite a lot of semi-tone / whole-tone clashes, especially at the beginning. I'm wondering if the harmonics / partials of the tone are creating dissonances with the melody. I would suggest trying the same thing with closer to sine tones. It's also possible that this kind of scale would traditionally be used for melody only with no attempt to harmonise or counterpoint (?) dunno really. I can't say it bothers me that much. Thanks for releasing these tunes. -- cheers, tim hall http://glastonburymusic.org.uk/tim FUNEX? 9VFNNEX! FUNEM? 9VFNNEM! RIP RB
