Tonality of the month: LocorNa / LocorMin

LocorNa / LocorMin — meditative sound sample — 8-string guitar — January 2023 — 4:20 — as loop on a separate tab

The tonality of the month of February 2023 is LocorNa / LocorMin. It is the first Locor / Cor Reach heptatonality to show up completely in the Tonalibus catalogue of anchored tonalities. Its companions LocorReach, CorMix, and CorMaj / LoloReachLyd are still in the process of receiving more documentation and are present so far only with their visual references. These tonalities are unique in that they are minor and major at once. Plus they contain the tritone. This can pose some challenge to apply them harmoniously to Western ears. But as the sound sample above shows, it appears possible. You be the judge as to what extent…

You may enjoy a sound sample or tonality loop as sound mantra for contemplation or meditation. This can help with upliftment, purification, and focusing. Or it could simply be used as soothing background sound for relaxation and regeneration. If you care to hum, chant, or sing along, you could use a spiritually charged syllable like HU or Ōṃ / Aum ॐ, or another mantra syllable that suits you.
