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.
• BluNa / (Lo)Mid tonality matrix: The lower tetrachord consists of the first few Na(tural) harmonics (i.e. quint and major third) with the addition of the Blu(esy) minor third. Mid tonalities further include the minor (Lo) or major second, which emphasizes the Reach step over the middle (Mid) of the scale. In this particular group, the hexatonalities are fundamental and corresponding heptatonalities are their derivatives and more delicate to use. (See table below.)
• HexaBluNaMaj: The name indicates that this is a BluNa hexatonality with the upper tetrachord IonLydian.
• Step pattern: Ascending from the fundamental (tonic or Do), a Reach step leads to a half step followed by another Reach step. Then come two whole steps followed by another half step that leads up to the octave.
• Scale intervals: Minor third, major third, quint, major sixth, and major seventh.
• Tetrachords: The lower tetrachord is PentaBluNa and the upper is IonLydian.
• Harmonic axes: There is one axe that is horizontal, E-W.
• Primary harmonic anchors: The fundamental or North anchor and the West anchor are both partially present with their head and right leg only. The East anchor has only its head and the contrast or South anchor only its left leg.
• Secondary harmonic anchors: There is one secondary anchor, ES. It strengthens the West anchor and to a lesser degree the contrast or South anchor.
• Moduation potential: Hexatonalities can facilitate modulations. HexaBluNaMaj is closely related to LoloReachMaj, CorMaj/LoloReachLyd, HexaMidLa, PentaBluMaj, PentaNaMaj, etc. Its heptatonality derivatives are LoMidReachMaj and MidReachMaj.
