A new theory!
Added 2019-02-20 14:31:13 +0000 UTCHi patreon supporters! I'm happy to have something new to share with you.
Last night I published a little essay about an interesting pattern, with an observation about the relation between symmetry and common-tones in scales. This is not merely re-explaining some dusty old theory, this is a brand new exploration into territory that no one has ever theorized before. It even coins a new concept: "ridge tones". Sure to become standard nomenclature included in all the textbooks 50 years from now. But for today, this essay is the only place you'll find it. Embrace the nerd and spread the word!
