+''The title of the track is actually incorrect. My scale is not actually a [[MODMOS]] of [[Negri]][8]. I incorrectly believed it to be one at the time I recorded and named the track. But in fact, it is a subset of Negri[19], not a MODMOS of Negri[8]. Here is the scale used:''

 The bassline that begins at 0:13 takes advantage of the notes a semitone above and below the root to give it a strong sense of movement and a dark, forceful sound reminiscent of EDM or trap baselines.
-However the semitones were significantly wider than diatonic semitones, giving the baseline a non-[[diatonic]] 'vibe'. Which is important because the bassline is the harmonic bedrock of the track, it is the context within which everything else sits, so it's important that it has to be unambiguously "[[Negri]]". And what better way to do that than to have it use the Negri [[generator]] itself, ~125 [[cents]], as its defining intervalic feature, both ascending and descending?

 The melody that comes in at 0:29 starts by hanging around on those same three intervals, ~1075, 1200 and ~125, again using the Negri generator as its defining feature.

 I end the track by taking advantage of that semitone above the root one last time, going 0c -> ~125c -> 0c, to finish the song with a very clear and satisfying melodic resolution.
