Characteristics

Reach or harmonic tonality matrix: The octave includes one or exceptionally two (double harmonic) Reach steps (augmented seconds) framed by half steps (or semitones) or exceptionally by a whole and a half step. There are either three whole steps or exceptionally just one. If three of them, they are in most cases either a pair and a single one separated by the third half step, or a trio framed by half steps. Exceptionally though all three whole steps are singles. When a trio of consecutive whole steps, they are preceded or followed by two consecutive half steps. The total number of half steps is three, or exceptionally four with two (double harmonic) Reach steps.
LoloReachMin: The name indicates that the lower tetrachord is the lowest possible or Lolo version of Reach, and the upper is PhrygAeolian.
Step pattern: Ascending from the fundamental (tonic or Do), a Reach step leads to two consecutive half steps. Then comes a whole step and a half step. Finally two whole steps lead up to the octave.
Scale intervals: Augmented second / minor third, major third, quart, quint, minor sixth, and minor seventh.
Tetrachords: The lower tetrachord is Lolo and the upper is PhrygAeolian.
Harmonic axes: There is one axis that is tilted: ES-WN.
Primary harmonic anchors: The fundamental or North and the East anchors are both fully present. The West anchor is partially present with its right leg only. And the contrast or South anchor is completely absent.
Secondary harmonic anchors: There are two secondary anchors, SE and WN. They both strengthen the fundamental or North and the East anchors and the quart, one more the North, the other the East.
LoloReachMin offers a fascinating mixture of the bluesy initial or lowest possible Reach step and the distinct PhrygAeolian character of the upper tetrachord.
