These changes can also be performed in the opposite direction, giving us the progression ''C vmaj - C sus2 - G vmaj'', or equivalently ''C vmaj - G sus4 - G vmaj''; the former version of the progression, with all tertiary triads, creates a more blended sound due to the chords all being of similar quality, while the latter creates a more expressive sound with the ''G sus4'' chord creating a resolution to ''G vmaj''.

=== Moving Modes ===
=== Moving Transpositions ===
For this example, presume that we are working with the 3L 4s "neutral" scale, beginning on the Kleeth mode on C.  Let's then presume that we want to transition into a section that is rooted in the Kleeth move on B, a transposition of the original scale.  Because the two scales contain the same relative pitches on different degrees, we need a way to make this change without sounding like a jarring leap.
