Scale of the Day: E Flat Aeolian mapped to the Square-root-of-2 1% wide

EFlatAeolianMappedToTheSquareRootOf2-1PercentWide

The E Flat Aeolian mapped to the Square-root-of-2 1% wide Scale. This scale combines several interesting challenges. You start with a scale with several "quarter-tones," detune it by stretching everything outward from the E-flat above middle-C, and try to treat all the 1.419 (6-cent sharp "tritones") as harmonic equivalents. This is unfamiliar harmonic territory to say the least.
