The Fallen of Kleismic[15] is a progressive improvisation that records me exploring this new tuning provided by Jake Feivald who describes it as:

The Kleismic[15] scale presented here was generated from 14\53, and is a strictly proper MOS scale. (Someone else can tell me what the specific name is: Keemun?) There are nine perfect fifths and ten 5/4 major thirds; the remaining major thirds are close-to-just 9/7s. Although 53 EDO doesn’t temper out 49/48 using the patent val, this *tuning* feels like it does: It has 249-cent intervals that are between 8/7 and 7/6, and has several 951-cent minor sevenths. You can think of it, therefore, as using the 53d val <53 84 123 148 | instead of the patent val <53 84 123 149 |. There's no mode in which you can build a major chord on 1/1, 4/3, and 3/2. You can have I-IV and then a supermajor third and no fifth on V, or you can have I-V and no 4/3 fourth at all. That supermajor third might make a really nice leading tone. !

I wasn't too melodic so I should revisit this.
