- Tonality of the moment: HexaReMix
The tonality of the moment for late spring / early summer 2026 is HexaReMix.
HexaReMix (a derivative tonality) on C# (rel. A 438 Hz) — 8-string guitar — May 2026 — 4:46 — (loop via right-click, if available) This HexaReMix sound sample is also available under the title “Neither nor it is”. Another piece using this tonality derivative is “Future memory past now” on the new album “Tonalibus R, S & T“.
HexaReMix, the tonality of this moment, is a hexatonality derivative, with six pitches to the octave. It is fully anchored with its quart and fifth. Then, as its name indicates, the lower tetrachord contains Re, the major second. And the upper is analogous to Mix(olydian) with the major sixth and minor seventh. Of particular interest is that this derivative does not include a third, neither minor nor major. This gives it a uniquely balanced character. Particularly in Western music, a primary distinction is drawn between major and minor tonalities, which this derivative entirely relinquishes. Further, upper and lower tetrachords each show symmetrical balance in themselves. This provides HexaReMix an almost crystalline quality of striking equilibrium.
The Tonalibus catalogue of tonalities does not fully document derivatives. However, HexaReMix shows up in the overview table of anchored hexatonalities (see below).
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 Ōṃ / Aum ॐ, or HU, or another mantra syllable that suits you.
May the sound of silence embrace our hearts — always!
