Scale of the Day: G Dorian no 4 mapped to the Square-root-of-2

GDorianNo4MappedToTheSquareRootOf2

The G Dorian mapped to the Square-root-of-2 Scale. The intervallic symmetry of the Dorian Scale with the gap of the omitted fourth degree shrunk down to a quarter-tone scale.

Scale of the Day: E Flat Dorian no 4

EFlatDorianNo4-interval-analysis

The intervallic content of the E Flat Dorian no 4 Scale. The missing fourth degree breaks up the symmetry of the Dorian scale and leaves the perfect fifth without its counterbalancing inversion.
Pardon the brief interruption in posting as I make may way to a new time zone.

Scale of the Day: G Dorian no 4, diminished 5

GDorianNo4Diminished5

The G Dorian no 4, diminished 5 Scale as one would find it on any conventionally tuned, equal tempered instrument. The diminished 5 helps closed the gap opened up by the missing fourth degree and restores some of the intervallic symmetry associated with dorian scales that is lost with that gap. The 300 cent minor third/augmented second that opens up on either side of that diminished fifth makes this one harmonically interesting.
