Since the f is the same note as a e# it's can be some sort of c-sharp major..
and it could be some e major with low 7... or a-major. Why don't you post a recording of it?

It almost seems like an F minor harmonic scale to me, except with out the F natural. Try, maybe, a dominant 7th chord, so that would be the E (I think, if you start from the tonic A). Also try, in this key, an F major chord. It sounds very interesting. I also like the B major chord 6. It's a very nice sound!

 You can start with fifth pitch for D minor and then is D minor where is D.
F
Code: [Select]
and G
Code: [Select]
can be modulation for A minor.There is also cromatic scale before. F ,F
Code: [Select]
(modulation) ,G, G
Code: [Select]
.After that you can return when there is B ( that is fourth pitch) to D minor .
Add some rithm.

F# and G# can be modulation in A minor.There is also cromatic scale: F , F# ( fourth pitch for A minor) and G # is fifth pitch for A minor.IT is god.And where is B it can be fourth pitch for D minor,C # is again fifth pitch for D minor like it is at the beginig.
