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.)
• HexaBluNaMin: The name indicates that this is a BluNa hexatonality with the upper tetrachord PhrygAeolian.
• Step pattern: Ascending from the fundamental (tonic or Do), a Reach step leads to a half step followed by another Reach step. Then comes another half step followed by two whole steps that lead up to the octave.
• Scale intervals: Minor third, major third, quint, minor sixth, and minor seventh.
• Tetrachords: The lower tetrachord is PentaBluNa and the upper is PhrygAeolian.
• Harmonic axes: There is one tilted axe, ES-WN.
• Primary harmonic anchors: The fundamental or North anchor is partial with its head and right leg only. The East anchor is fully present. The West anchor has only its right leg. And the contrast or South anchor is completely absent.
• Secondary harmonic anchors: There are no secondary anchors.
• Moduation potential: Hexatonalities can facilitate modulations. HexaBluNaMin is closely related to LoloReachMin, LocorNa/LocorMin, HexaLoMid, HexaMid, PentaBluNa, etc. Its heptatonality derivatives are LoMidReachMin and MidReachMin.
