General guidance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On this page you can form individual heptatonalities based on your harmonic base, i.e. G#\/D#. Consider the following general guidance and then also the points given with specific pitch options. To remember your pitch selections, you may write them down. They are in half step numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To select pitches to form individual tonalities, start by turning on your harmonic base drone loop. Take a moment to tune in and slow down. You may gently mix in individual harmonic base pitches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, with the harmonic base drone running, one at a time and with moments of listening just to the harmonic base drone with individual harmonic base pitches and eventually other already selected ones in between, separately try out offered additional pitches. According to the guidance given for a specific group of offered pitches, determine which one or ones suit you best in the context of your harmonic base and eventually further already established pitch selections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interspersing some individual harmonic base pitches and any other already selected ones may help you see and hear more clearly. Take your time. Move slowly, one pitch at at time. Listen. Savor the sound. Trust your perception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

G#\/D# based heptatonalities pitch selection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n


Please consider the general instructions<\/mark><\/a> given above, as well as the specific points below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As simple first pass, you could form a diatonic or clustered \/ melodic heptatonality, ignoring the pitch options in parentheses, which are for Reach \/ harmonic and tritone \/ blues heptationalities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or, if you have an individual pentatonality<\/mark><\/a>, you could expand on that one, which simplifies a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
