Oneirotonic: Difference between revisions

Line 187:

When working up from the tonic, the darker modes are radically different in character than the brighter modes. Because the fifth and seventh scale degrees become the more consonant minor tritone and the minor sixth respectively, the flat tritone sounds more like a stable scale function. Hlanithian, in particular, is a lot like a more stable version of the Locrian mode in diatonic. Close-to-optimal petrtri temperaments such as [[34edo]] may be particularly useful for Sarnathian, as Sarnathian in these tunings uniquely approximates four over-2 harmonics plausibly, namely 17/16, 5/4, 11/8, and 13/8.

The most important oneirotonic MODMOS is LSLLLSLS, because it allows one to evoke upwards diatonic modes where three whole steps in a row are important~~, like~~ Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian or Mixo in an octatonic context, without using an equi-heptatonic scale like glacial[7]:
