Specifically, Metallic harmony treats [[7/4]] as the most consonant interval next to the octave. As a result, tunings that do not approximate 7/4 decently do not support metallic harmony. In addition, there must be an additional size of seventh/sixth that "clicks" with the 7/4. Intervals such as [[13/7]], [[12/7]] and [[19/11]] are notable possibilities. These sevenths chords have a characteristic metallic somewhat cold quality which earns them their name, metallic. | ||
