Hi

The concept in this work was a challenge. I wanted to write something whose tonal center was unstable. So, I used the C aumented scale:

C - D - E - F - G# - A - B..... Chords: C+maj7, Dm7, E7, G#dim7, Am(maj7), Bdim7

There are two more scales;

One designed by myself (I couldn't find a description of it): C, Db, Eb, F#, G , Ab, Bb.... With chords built by thirds.

A minor scale: mixing melodic, harmonic and eolian.

The distribution of these scales are:

Bars 1-11: C augmented

Bars: 12-30: my own scale

Bars 31-57: A minor scale combined

Bars 58-60: C augmented

Bars 69-end: my own scale

 

Besides, here and there appear a borrowed chord from other scales.

What is important is to notice that when using exotic/non-standard scales, there are no tonal functions as subdominant-dominant-tonic. They have to be treated as modal harmonic systems.
