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.
• HexaLocorMin: The name indicates that this is a hexatonality with its lower half consisting of Core pitches and the upper being PhrygAeolian. Locore tonalities include the three initial of the four corners of the sound temple, i.e. North, East, and South, but not West.
• Step pattern: Ascending from the fundamental (tonic or Do), two consecutive Reach steps lead to two consecutive half steps. Then come two consecutive whole steps that lead up to the octave.
• Scale intervals: Minor third, tritone, quint, minor sixth, and minor seventh.
• Tetra- and trichords: The lower trichord is PentaBlue and upper tetrachord is PhrygAeolian.
• Harmonic axes: There is one axis, which is vertical, N-S.
• Primary harmonic anchors: The fundamental or North anchor is partially present with its head and right leg. The East anchor is fully present, and the contrasting or South anchor with its head only. The West anchor is completely absent.
• Secondary harmonic anchors: There are no secondary anchors.
• Moduation potential: Hexatonalities can facilitate modulations. HexaLocorMin is closely related to other Locore and Core tonalities, especially LoReachUpMin, ReachUpMin, and PentaBlue.
