Notable Quotes
You can always combine different root tones with the intervals on top! Also, this topic smears into the world of psychoacoustics. These are the elements that I would look into to create different modes, and this all is part of "Module 6" from the "Orchestration Concepts" course.
My first motivation was to use the intervals, which led me to the whole-tone scale later, but I didn't want to play the whole-tone scale first. It's the consequence, and these are just different options.
And you can switch that perspective fluently. I would say it's a good idea to be aware that you can switch sides elegantly because sometimes a very strong Diatonic sound is required, especially in emotional storytelling.
