Extraclassical tonality: Difference between revisions

One interesting phenomenon that happens with arto and tendo is that it is cross tonal. Unlike the diatonic scale which has two distinct flavors of triads, arto and tendo triads and Intervals are able to co-exist on the same root. For example, in the diatonic scale, usually playing a C major triad with an Eb would generally sound disruptive and cause dissonance, where as a C arto triad with the third of a C tendo can be played simultaneously without any harsh discordance. This creates an interesting, subtle ambiguous flavor, but what's even more interesting is that the two triads still sound distinct enough to be considered separate and being played together causes a lack of resolution. This also generates the possibility that both arto and tendo chords can be used in a progression on the same root without going outside of the scale. Likewise, a melody on a tendo chord can play notes of the arto chord of the same root.
