Scale and sound samples

You may enjoy a sound sample or tonality loop as sound mantra for contemplation or meditation, for upliftment and focusing, or simply as soothing background sound for relaxation and regeneration.

Characteristics

• Hexatonality matrix: There are two common and two exceptional interval distributions within the octave of hexatonalities in the catalogue. The two common distributions are: 1) one Reach step, four whole steps, and one single half step (or semitone); and 2) two Reach steps, two whole steps, and two half steps. The two exceptional interval distributions include: 1) three Reach steps, no whole step, and three half steps; and 2) one augmented Reach step (spanning four half steps), three whole steps, and two half steps.
• HexaBluMin: The name indicates that this hexatonality has a blue lower character or the minor third without second and PhrygAeolian upper pitches. It is the equivalent of Phrygian without its minor second or Aeolian without its major second.
• Step pattern: Ascending from the fundamental (tonic or Do), a Reach step leads to a pair of consecutive whole steps. Then comes a half step. Finally a pair of consecutive whole steps leads up to the octave.
• Scale intervals: Minor third, quart, quint, minor sixth, and minor seventh.
• Tetra- and trichords: The lower tetrachord is PentaMin, and the upper is PhrygAeolian.
• Harmonic axes: There is no axis.
• Primary harmonic anchors: The fundamental or North and the East anchor are fully present. The contrasting or South and the West anchor are completely absent.
• Secondary harmonic anchors: Two secondary anchors are present, SE and WN. Both further emphasize the fundamental North anchor and the quart, as well as the East anchor.
• Moduation potential: Hexatonalities can facilitate modulations. HexaBluMin may for example help bridge between Phrygian, Aeolian, PhrygBlue, BlueUp, HexaBlue, PentaReg/PentaPhryg, PentaMin/PentaEol, etc.
