In standard Western Classical Theory, chords are made by stacking different flavors of Thirds. In 15-EDO, this approach doesn't work as consistently as you may expect. | In standard Western Classical Theory, chords are made by stacking different flavors of Thirds. In 15-EDO, this approach doesn't work as consistently as you may expect, especially since its intervals don't always fall neatly into diatonic categories such as "thirds" and "fifths." So, how does one handle chords in 15-EDO? | ||
When creating chords in 15-EDO, I tend consider the sum of the stacked intervals to be more important for the chord's function than the values of those intervals; for instance, 4+5 and 6+3 both have a sum of 9, so the chords [0 4 9]\15 and [0 6 9]\15 would be placed into the same category despite having completely different step sizes. | When creating chords in 15-EDO, I tend consider the sum of the stacked intervals to be more important for the chord's function than the values of those intervals; for instance, 4+5 and 6+3 both have a sum of 9, so the chords [0 4 9]\15 and [0 6 9]\15 would be placed into the same category despite having completely different step sizes. | ||
