Oneirotonic: Difference between revisions

Line 267:

When used in an "ana" way, the kata 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.

=== MODMOSes ===

The most important oneirotonic MODMOS is LSLLLSLS (and its rotations), because it allows one to evoke ana diatonic modes where three whole steps in a row are important (Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian or Mixo) in an octatonic context. A similar logic holds for kata versions of some other modes.

* LLLSLSLS: Dylathian &4: Ana-Lydian

* LLSLSLSL: Ilarnekian @8: Ana-Mixolydian

* LSLLLSLS: Celephaïsian &6: Ana-Dorian

* SLLLSLSL: Ultharian @2: Ana-Phrygian

* SLSLSLLL: Sarnathian @6: Kata-Locrian

* SLSLLLSL: Sarnathian &6: Kata-Dorian

* LSLSLLLS: Mnarian &8: Kata-Ionian

* LSLSLSLL: Hlanithian &2: Kata-Aeolian

Other potentially interesting oneirotonic MODMOSes (that do not use half-sharps or half-flats) are:

* the distorted harmonic minor LSLSLLSAS (A = aug 2nd = L + chroma)

* the distorted Freygish SASLSLLS
