The Cadolorion Scale
The Cadolorion scale[1] is a musical scale based on Native American music. The scale consists of 2 "sections" of chromatically placed notes, which is the scale’s most distinguishable feature. Cadolorion is very similar to the Persian scale, the Phrygian dominant scale, and the double harmonic scale. Another version of this scale is the Cad♭7 scale.

Musical characteristics of Cadolorion
Though Cadolorion consists of only natural, flat, and double flat accidentals, the scale sounds very bright. Flats are used to darken the music being played[2], yet this scale almost reverses the effects of the flats and makes the accidentals instead lighten the music.
Modes
Each Cadolorion has its own individual "flavor" and can be used in many different types of genres of music. The most "common" mode of Cadolorion is Cadolorion.
