Scale of the Day: G Dorian no 4 diminished 5 mapped to the Square-root-of-2

GDorianNo4Diminished5MappedToTheSquareRootOf2

The G Dorian no 4 diminished 5 mapped to the Square-root-of-2 Scale. The diminished fifth restores the symmetry lost when the fourth degree was subtracted. Mapped into the equal tempered "tritone" this places a quarter tone 150-cents away on either side of the diminished fifth (now a minor third when compressed to half-size).
