If you are an avid seeker of totally unusual sounds that have next-to-no connection with the common practice, you might like 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 21, 23 or 25. | If you are an avid seeker of totally unusual sounds that have next-to-no connection with the common practice, you might like 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 21, 23 or 25. | ||
You will quickly find that the //factorization// of the total number of notes in each EDO has consequences for its structure and the way it relates to other EDOs. For example, 6 = 2 x 3, so 6-edo contains all of the intervals in both 2-edo and 3-edo. On the other hand, 7 is a prime number, so no 7-edo intervals are redundant with those of smaller EDOs. | You will quickly find that the //factorization// of the total number of notes in each EDO has consequences for its structure and the way it relates to other EDOs.

The [[MOSScales|Moments of Symmetry]] paradigm is a fascinating way of thinking about building sub-scales of EDOs and relating them to non-EDO scales, as well as finding common melodic patterns between multiple EDOs. | The [[MOSScales|Moments of Symmetry]] paradigm is a fascinating way of thinking about building sub-scales of EDOs and relating them to non-EDO scales, as well as finding common melodic patterns between multiple EDOs. | ||
