== Portals ==

Portals are musical situations where you end up in a place different than expected or compared to another system. Usually associated with [[Comma pump|comma-pumps]]. For example, [[15edo|15 edo]]'s chain of fifths contains a portal somewhere between the third and fourth fifth in the cycle. ~~EXPLAIN MORE???~~{{clarify}}

Portals are musical situations where you end up in a place different than expected or compared to another system. Usually associated with [[Comma pump|comma-pumps]]. For example, [[15edo|15 edo]]'s chain of fifths contains a portal somewhere between the third and fourth fifth in the cycle, because the result of stacking four fifths in 15edo produces a categorical error compared to standard diatonic theory.{{clarify}}

TYPES:

'''[[Stretched tuning|Squash and Stretch]]''': This is the feeling that a familiar element has been perceivably stretched or compressed yet still seems to work regardless of how good or bad it sounds. Examples are [[13edo|13 EDO]] which seems to exhibit a fair amount of squash and stretch despite it's fun house familiarity to [[12edo|12 edo]]. '''Oblique Squash and Stretch''' on the other hand is like Superpyth where the large interval is stretched and the small ones squashed.

'''Melodic Disjunct:''' The effect where a melodic element is distorted in a non uniform way such that some sounds become narrower and some wider usually without pattern.
