What It Is
The 7th mode of melodic minor, also called Super Locrian - every alterable degree relative to the major scale is flattened except the root. Notes: C#, D, E, F, G, A, B.
How It Functions
Contains nearly every common altered-dominant tension (b9, #9, #11, b13) against the chord's root, 3rd, and 7th.
Mood & Character
Maximally tense - the 'everything bent' scale, used specifically for its clashing, unresolved color right before a dominant chord resolves.
