The term MOS and scale construction method were invented by Erv Wilson in 1975. His original paper can be found here [[http://anaphoria.com/mos.PDF]]. There is also an introduction [[http://anaphoria.com/wilsonintroMOS.html]].In academic music theory, MOS are known as //well-formed scales// and the introduction of the concept is attributed to a 1989 paper by Norman Carey and David Clampitt. A great deal of interesting work has been done on scales in academic circles extending these ideas. | The term MOS and scale construction method were invented by Erv Wilson in 1975.
