Cool, and I dig the Viking kitty graphic! But leaves me feeling a little woozy (and imo the bass dude needs to lose some weight)

Wow! That is fantastic!
Very much a 1960’s jazz vibe.
And the way you resolve the phrasing gives the ear a not-quite-perfect but very necessary resting place before taking flight again.
Well done, sir! I could listen to that all day...

For folks who don’t know their modes, you can play the Locrian scale by playing the white keys on a piano from B to B.
It’ll sound a little “off.”

Is this Opuntian Locrian, Ozolian Locrian, or Epizephyrian Locrian Swing?

Glad you liked, and you are welcome to listen without watching. (Not a lot I can do about the bass dude.)

Not sure. Just checked the article on "Lokris" in Der Kleine Pauly and it doesn't seem to say.
