Ice tonality is a method of describing a system which tonally uses mohajira as the diatonic scale rather than arabic maqam which follow a much different approach. While typically it refers to 24 edo it can also be found in other equal temperaments.  


"Iced" is a way to refer to a neutral interval to describe the quality it has. Unlike "neutral", iced sounds much less ambiguous and gives the impression that it has a distinct quality rather than just sticking it between major and minor as neutral intervals sound like neither major or minor but in fact have a sound described as "Iced". Therefore, Mohajira[7] can be referred to the "Iced Diatonic Scale" and it's mode's are as follows:
The tunings on this page are all 12-note subsets of [[24edo]]. More specifically, they are all based on [[12edo]], with a defined selection of notes ("iced notes") tuned a [[quartertone]] up or down.


The following variants have been specified:


|| Iced Major (Neutral Scale) || C D Ed F G Ad Bd C || M2 N3 P4 P5 N6 N7 ||
=Ice Bookshop=
|| Iced Locrian || D Ed F G Ad Bd C D || N2 m3 P4 sb5 N6 m7 ||
Also called "Iceface tuning 0.1". (This was Hidekazu Wakabayashi's first microtonal tuning, which was called "Iceface Tuning" until the end of 2012.)
|| Iced Fridgian (Iced Minor) || Ed F G Ad Bd C D Ed || N2 N3 P4 P5 N6 N7 ||

Strangely, the mode names do not match the typical order of western mode names due to the odd intervalic nature of mohajira temperament. </pre></div>

Latest revision as of 05:30, 24 December 2024

"Ice tonality" can be described as a tonal system that is a kind of generalization of the Iceface Tuning devised by Hidekazu Wakabayashi.

The tunings on this page are all 12-note subsets of 24edo. More specifically, they are all based on 12edo, with a defined selection of notes ("iced notes") tuned a quartertone up or down.

The following variants have been specified:

Ice Bookshop

Also called "Iceface tuning 0.1". (This was Hidekazu Wakabayashi's first microtonal tuning, which was called "Iceface Tuning" until the end of 2012.)
