An important class of scales are MOS scales (MOS "Moment of symmetry"). These were invented by Erv Wilson. His original paper can be found here [[ | An important class of scales are MOS scales (MOS "Moment of symmetry"). These were invented by Erv Wilson.

An MOS scale is a scale whose basic steps come in 2 different sizes. This is an interesting property because two basic scales of classical music theory have it: the diatonic scale (whole tone and semitone) and the pentatonic scale (minor third and whole tone). | An MOS scale is a scale whose basic steps come in 2 different sizes.

David Canright was the first to suggest Fibonacci Rhythms in 1/1. This lead to Kraig Grady to be the first to apply MOS patterns to rhythms. Two papers on the subject can be found here [[ | David Canright was the first to suggest Fibonacci Rhythms in 1/1. This lead to Kraig Grady to be the first to apply MOS patterns to rhythms.

MOS structures and thinking can be applied to the design of rhythms as well. See [[MOS Rhythm Tutorial]]</pre></div> | MOS structures and thinking can be applied to the design of rhythms as well. See [[MOS Rhythm Tutorial]]</pre></div> | ||
