Characteristics

• Tritone or blues tonality matrix: The octave includes the tritone plus for a heptatonality generally one, for a hexatonality two, and for a pentatonality three Reach steps (augmented seconds). These take off from the fundamental or from the quint. They are not framed by half steps (or semitones), of which there are three for hepta-, two for hexa-, and one for pentatonalities. When more than one of them, then some are consecutive.
• BlueMaj: The name indicates that the Reach step is in the lower tetrachord and that the upper tetrachord is IonLydian.
• Step pattern: Ascending from the fundamental (tonic or Do), a Reach step leads to a whole step followed by two consecutive half steps. Then come two whole steps. Finally a half step leads up to the octave.
• Scale intervals: Minor third, quart, tritone, quint, major sixth, and major seventh.
• Penta- and tetrachords: The lower pentachord is Blue. The upper tetrachord is IonLydian.
• Harmonic axes: There are three axes, vertical, horizontal, and tilted. That is N-S, E-W, and SE-NW.
• Primary harmonic anchors: The fundamental or North anchor is fully present. The contrast or South anchor has its head and left leg. The East and West anchors are present with only their heads.
• Secondary harmonic anchors: There are no secondary anchors.
• Four corners of the sound temple and major seventh: Present are the heads of all four primary anchors, and the fundamental or North anchor is complete. The one extra element is the major seventh that contributes a distinct progressive or major tonal touch.
