Scale Notes & Info
Scale: C ultralocrian
Description: A very dissonant mode, often defined as the seventh mode of harmonic minor (sometimes called super-Locrian ♭♭7), compressing both 5th and 7th degrees. It yields an extremely unstable synthetic dominant or diminished colour, used sparsely in advanced jazz or modern composition for maximum tension.
