Hello Rick Beto, this scale is actually a fairly common one in Indian Carnatic music, in fact it is the first ever thing they teach for a newbie singer/player in India, because of the symmetry of the scale. There are not a lot of songs written on this scale, but it is great to learn first time. It was mildly surprising to see western musicians like you use this scale in your music. Anyone interested in googling it, it is called “Mayamalavagowla” in Indian classic music.

The Double Harmonic Minor scale also existis in the Arabic Maqam Modal music system, where it is called 'Shad Araban Maqam'. One other mode of the Double harmonic minor scale, the Hungarian minor, is known in the Arabic Maqam Modal system as 'Nawa Athar Maqam'.

Double harmonic major is the scale that was intuitive when I was high school age. I didn't know what it was called. It evokes the mystery of the energy of that age, for me. The ultraphrygian section sounded better than I thought it would after hearing the scale. The slower part especially. A mode can kind of hide in a slurry of fast notes, but it was really good in that part too, even though I listened carefully - when you played the bare mode during the intro exposition, I just thought, "good luck" but you really made it work with the music. And the last "so many flats" mode was totally evoking Alice falling down the rabbit hole, and then you had the sped-up train tunnel video, which was just perfect. Wooo-ha

Some years back I bought a new acoustic 6-string guitar and was so inspired by its sound that a number of tunes just poured out with it during those first few months. One was something I've since named Volo Flamenco. I just played. Wasn't thinking modes or keys or anything really. Just letting the guitar sing. Some time later while doing an online Berklee orchestration course with Ben Newhouse I used this to try to create a fully orchestrated version. I immediately ran into a roadblock because I really had no clue what key/mode I was working with. I can 'hear' lines and harmonies in it that I've never been able to get "on paper" (as it were). That first segment in E Double Harmonic Major has the same harmonic feel. Clearly I need to learn more about this scale / mode, because it sounds like the key to bringing that composition to life.
