31edo’s [[circle of fifths|circle of 31 fifths]] can be bent into a [[spiral chart|12-spoked "spiral of fifths"]]. | 31edo’s [[circle of fifths|circle of 31 fifths]] can be bent into a [[spiral chart|12-spoked "spiral of fifths"]]. In Kite Giedraitis' theory, this is possible because going up 12 fifths in 31edo yields a difference (the absolute value of the [[Sharpness|dodeca-sharpness]]) of 1 edostep (which also implies that 18\31 is on the 7\12 kite in the [[scale tree]]). | ||
This "spiral of fifths" can be a useful construct for introducing 31edo to musicians unfamiliar with microtonal music. It may help composers and musicians to make visual sense of the notation, and to understand what size of a jump is likely to land them where compared to 12edo. | This "spiral of fifths" can be a useful construct for introducing 31edo to musicians unfamiliar with microtonal music.
