From 0:46 to 1:01, the melody leans very heavily on the subdominant function of the [[perfect fifth]], ~699c, in order to create a sense of strong melodic structure, and strong, simple melodic movement, trying to encourage the listener to get up and dance. | From 0:46 to 1:01, the melody leans very heavily on the subdominant function of the [[perfect fifth]], ~699c, in order to create a sense of strong melodic structure, and strong, simple melodic movement, trying to encourage the listener to get up and dance. | ||

At 1:34, I use that bendy, melting descending quarter tone interval between ~1075 and ~1021 again. I think it's in the perfect spot in the scale, because that ~1075 really wants to resolve up to the octave, and bending it down instead is a fun fakeout that injects intrigue and energy into the melody. I use that narrow interval again just after 1:42. It really is kind of the defining melodic feature of the scale, and gives it a lot of its character. | At 1:34, I use that bendy, melting descending quarter tone interval between ~1075 and ~1021 again.
