== Cross-tonality ==

One interesting phenomenon that happens with extraclassical tonality is that it is cross-tonal. Unlike normal major and minor thirds which clash heavily when played together, 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 E♭ would generally sound disruptive and cause dissonance because of the chroma between the E♭ and E, whereas a C arto triad with the third of a C tendo can be played simultaneously without as harsh of a discordance since the interval between them is a more consonant major second. 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.
