Scale of the Day: E Flat 5, 3 Mixolydian

EFlat5-3Mixolydian

The E Flat 5, 3 Mixolydian Scale. The conventional 5-limit just intonation configuration of this scale features the 4/3 perfect fourth and 16/9 minor seventh as the two utonal intervals.

Scale of the Day: A Flat Pythagorean Construct #1, Lydian Mode - in Square-root-of-2-space

AFlatPythagoreanConstructNo1LydianModeInSquareRootOf2Space

The A Flat Pythagorean Construct No. 1, Lydian Mode - in Square-root-of-2-space Scale. The 3 (Pythagorean systems are 3-limit just) is divided by the square-root-of-2 until one arrives at an interval between the root and the square-root-of-2 "tritone."

Scale of the Day: E Pythagorean Construct No. 1 - Lydian Mode

EPythagoreanConstructNo1LydianMode-interval-analysis

The intervallic content of the E Phythagorean Construct No. 1 - Lydian Mode - Scale. As there are only two notes (and a harmonically equivalent octave), this scale has a small set of intervals.
