== Antitonic == | == Antitonic == | ||
Notes that occur around half an octave away from the Tonic- especially the region extending from [[7/5]] to [[10/7]]- on account of harmonies built on notes in this area tend to oppose that of the Tonic, thus leading to the term "Antitonic" being used to describe the region as a whole by myself and others. It should be noted that the Antitonic is basically a First Derivative function as it is derived from the Tonic through Antipodism. In addition, the term "Antitonic" acts as a generic term for any of a group of diatonic functions found in this region. While some microtonal theorists insist that the Antitonic functionality is more fundamental than perhaps even the Dominant or Serviant, others, such as myself, disagree. | Notes that occur around half an octave away from the Tonic- especially the region extending from [[7/5]] to [[10/7]]- on account of harmonies built on notes in this area tend to oppose that of the Tonic, thus leading to the term "Antitonic" being used to describe the region as a whole by myself and others.
