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.)
• HexaBluNaMix: The name indicates that this is a BluNa hexatonality with the upper tetrachord DorMixolydian.
• Step pattern: Ascending from the fundamental (tonic or Do), a Reach step leads to a half step followed by another Reach step. Then comes a whole step and another half step, followed by a second whole step that leads up to the octave.
• Scale intervals: Minor third, major third, quint, major sixth, and minor seventh.
• Tetrachords: The lower tetrachord is PentaBluNa and the upper is DorMixolydian.
• Harmonic axes: There are two axes, one horizontal and the other tilted, E-W and ES-WN.
• Primary harmonic anchors: The fundamental or North anchor, the East anchor, as well as the West anchor are all partially present with their head and right leg only. The contrast or South anchor is completely absent.
• Secondary harmonic anchors: There are no secondary anchors.
• Moduation potential: Hexatonalities can facilitate modulations. HexaBluNaMix is closely related to LoloReachMix, CorMix, HexaMidLa, HexaMid, PentaBluNa, PentaBluNaLa, etc. Its heptatonality derivatives are LoMidReachMix and MidReachMix.
