| The term '''oneirotonic''' is used for the 8-note MOS structure [[5L 3s]], whose brightest mode is LLsLLsLs. The name "oneirotonic" was coined by [[Cryptic Ruse]] after the Dreamlands in H.P. Lovecraft's Dream Cycle mythos. Oneirotonic is a distorted diatonic, because it has one extra small step compared to diatonic ([[5L 2s]]).
| | #redirect [[5L 3s]] |
| | |
| The generator size ranges from 450¢ (3\8) to 480¢ (2\5). Hence any edo with an interval between 450¢ and 480¢ has an oneirotonic scale.
| |
| | |
| In terms of [[regular temperament]]s, there are at least two melodically viable ways to interpret oneirotonic:
| |
| # When the generator is 461.54¢ (5\13) or sharper: [[A-Team]] (13&18, a 4:5:9:21 or 2.9.5.21 temperament)
| |
| # When the generator is 461.54¢ (5\13) or flatter: [[Petrtri]] (13&21, a 4:5:9:11:13:17 or 2.5.9.11.13.17 temperament)

| == Modal harmony ==
| |
| Oneirotonic modes are named after cities in the Dreamlands.
| |
| | |
| #Dylathian: LLsLLsLs (major with hints of Mixolydian and "#5")
| |
| #Ilarnekian: LLsLsLLs (major with hints of "b6")
| |
| #Celephaïsian: LsLLsLLs (the oneirotonic melodic minor. Very classical-sounding; Easley Blackwood's 13-note etude uses this as its home mode.)
| |
| #Ultharian: LsLLsLsL (A Dorian analogue. Another Dorian analogue is the MODMOS LsLLLsLs)
| |
| #Mnarian: LsLsLLsL
| |
| #Kadathian: sLLsLLsL (another "Locrian")
| |
| #Hlanithian: sLLsLsLL (closest Locrian analogue)
| |
| #Sarnathian: sLsLLsLL (Darkest but ironically the most consonant. Here be dragons.)

| |
| ===Modes with sharp tritone ===
| |
| At least in A-Team, the brighter modes can be viewed as providing a distorted version of diatonic functional harmony. For example, in the Dylathian mode, the 4:5:9 triad on the sixth degree can sound like both "V" and "III of iv" depending on context. Basic chord progressions can move by minor fourths, thirds, or major seconds: for example, J major-M minor-P minor-Ob major-J major (in Ilarnekian) or J major-K major-O major-M major-J major (in Dylathian).
| |
| | |
| === Modes with flat tritone ===
| |
| The darker modes are radically different in character than the brighter modes. In A-team tunings, because of the consonant 11/8 minor tritone and the 13/8 minor sixth, the flat tritone sounds more like a stable scale function.

| Despite being melodically familiar, oneirotonic is harmonically complex in that it doesn't represent many lower-complexity JI triads other than 4:9:21, 9:10:13, and the occasional 4:5:9. Hence oneirotonic may especially benefit from either using inharmonic timbres in addition to harmonic ones or using a well-tempered version of 13edo adopted for this scale. The availability of certain consonances also varies greatly by mode: for example, only Dylathian, Ilarnekian and Sarnathian have a 5/4 on the tonic, and only Mnarian, Kadathian, Hlanithian and Sarnathian have an 11/8 on the tonic.
