Sound Character: Maintaining the dark and unstable base of the Locrian scale, the introduction of the major sixth alters its atmosphere, making it more open, with an ambiguous and interesting character.
Typical Chord: m7♭5♯13
Modal Context: Useful in modal contexts where a dark but not completely atonal flavor is sought. Perfect for modern jazz and soundtracks.
Harmonic Use: On half-diminished seventh chords with major tensions, for sophisticated and ambiguous constructions.
