Scale of the Day: A Ionian no 5 mapped to the Square-root-of-2

AIonianNo5MappedToTheSquareRootOf2

The A Ionian no 5 mapped to the Square-root-of-2 Scale. Three quarter-tones away from being a standard "chromatic run" from A-natural to E-flat.

Scale of the Day: A Ionian minor 2 no 5

AIonianMinor2No5

The A Ionian minor 2 no 5 Scale as one would find it on any conventionally tuned, equal tempered instrument. This scale takes its interesting hue from the augmented second between the minor second and major third and the 400-cent gap left open by removing the fifth.

Scale of the Day: E Flat Ionian diminished 5 and Perfect 5

EFlatIonianDiminished5AndPerfect5

The E Flat Ionian diminished 5 and perfect 5 Scale as one would find it on any conventionally tuned, equal tempered instrument. The doubling up of "fifth degrees" suggests some interesting leading tones for linear development.

Scale of the Day: E Flat Ionian diminished 5 mapped to the Square-root-of-2 1% wide

EFlatIonianDiminished5MappedToTheSquareRootOf2-1PercentWide

The E Flat Ionian diminished 5 mapped to the Square-root-of-2 1% wide Scale. Diminished, squeezed into one half the intervallic space (equal temperamentally speaking) and stretched outward just a touch.

Scale of the Day: E Flat Ionian 3% narrow

EFlatIonian3PercentNarrow

The E Flat Ionian 3% narrow Scale. An equal tempered "major" scale with a bit of intervallic compression.

E Flat Ionian diminished 5 2% narrow

EFlatIonianDiminished5-2PercentNarrow

The E Flat Ionian diminished 5 2% narrow Scale. Featuring the sweet dissonance of the 24-cent flat octave as the interval of "harmonic equivalence."

Scale of the Day: E Flat Ionian 4% wide

EFlatIonian4PercentWide

The E Flat Ionian 4% wide Scale. An equal tempered "major" scale with enough extra width to pick up almost a full quarter-tone per octave.

Scale of the Day: E Flat Ionian diminished 5 3% wide

EFlatIonianDiminished5-3PercentWide

The E Flat Ionian diminished 5 3% wide Scale. The push-pull aesthetic of the diminished fifth against the stretched interval space appeals to a sense of balance.
