Scale of the Day: A Octotonic-1 1% wide

AOctotonic-1-1PercentWide

The A Octotonic-1 1% wide Scale. The regular, equal tempered octotonic with stretched intervals and a "stretched octave" interval of harmonic equivalence.

Scale of the Day: E Pythagorean Lydian 1% wide

EPythagoreanLydian1PercentWide

The E Pythagorean Lydian 1% wide Scale. There's such a peculiar "out-of-tune" quality to the sound of this scale. The already larger than equal-tempered intervals are pushed even wider by the otonal 3-limit (pre-stretched) intervals along with the wide octaves that strike the ear in odd ways.

Scale of the Day: C Mixolydian 1% wide

CMixolydian1PercentWide

The C Mixolydian 1% wide Scale. The standard equal tempered variant of the C Mixolydian deliberately de-tuned just slightly to blur the familiar. In some ways this simulates the way many pianos drift out of tune.

Interval of the Day: Unisons and Octaves 1% wide

<span class=

Unisons and Octaves 1% wide. The unison remains at 0.00-cents when made "1% wider" (because 1% of zero is zero). While the same operation on the octave results in a stretched-octave that is 12-cents sharp. By pairing these intervals together I'm suggesting a harmonic space where this now dissonant "octave" can be treated as "harmonically equivalent" to the unison.
