Orwell/Eliora's Approach
This page covers Eliora's approach to the orwell temperament.
Modified orwell variants
There are several modified orwell variants.
Maqam-inspired approach
13-note orwell
One of the ways Eliora plays orwell is by treating each generator as a jins - a basic note progression of Arabic music.
An example of this is the Arabic Naive Orwell scale in 91edo, which is found in Mercury Amalgam's track Sadness - Nope. The naive scale makes use of Orwell[13] tempered to 13edo, and intermediate notes manipulated by steps of 91edo to create a scale.
| Jins Eurasia | Jins Oceania | Jins Eastasia | Jins Big Brother | ||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 1 | 12 | 21 | 26 | 27 | 42 | 49 | 54 | 63 | 70 | 71 | 82 | 91 |
In this paradigm also, the last note of each ajnas is the first one of the second adjnas, so:
0-1-12-21: Jins Eurasia
21-26-27-42: Jins Oceania
42-49-54-63: Jins Eastasia
63-70-71-82-91: Jins Big Brother (m1 s L m2)
The final Jins closes the scale at the octave.
Here I would create three maqamat based on each of the mega-empires in the 1984 world, and write them out in different conventional orwell EDOs.
In 22edo, Orwell maqamat don't work for the same reason usual maqamat don't work in 12edo. As such, at least 44edo is required.
The conventional ending uses 4L 1s approach - maqam is stacked 4 times which produces 12 notes, and 13th note closes the octave.
| Scale | Jins pattern | 44edo |
|---|---|---|
| Original scale | — | 0-4-8-10-14-18-20-24-28-30-34-38-40-44 |
| Maqam Eurasia | Hijaz | 0-2-8-10-12-18-20-22-28-30-32-38-40-44 |
| Maqam Oceania | Bayati | 0-3-6-10-13-16-20-23-26-30-33-36-40-44 |
| Maqam Eastasia | Rast | 0-4-7-10-14-17-20-24-27-30-34-37-40-44 |
