I think you are using voices with a tonal spectrum that is a little wide for 
the scale, it sounds as if there is some additional detuning, plus quite a 
lot of semi-tone / whole-tone clashes, especially at the beginning. I'm 
wondering if the harmonics / partials of the tone are creating dissonances 
with the melody. I would suggest trying the same thing with closer to sine 
tones. It's also possible that this kind of scale would traditionally be used 
for melody only with no attempt to harmonise or counterpoint (?) dunno 
really. I can't say it bothers me that much.

Thanks for releasing these tunes.
