In this piece I play in a mode similar using the following notes from 17 equal

0, 1, 4, 7, 10, 11, 14, 17

or in steps

1, 3, 3, 3, 1, 3, 3

I do have a 2 as an accidental in there at one point to make parallel fifths on 0 and 1 work. (5:00-ish video, 4:30 in the MP3)

For the composition, I developed a framework last night and this morning and then in Jazz style improvised around the pre-determined framework.
