Off the cuff, I would say that it is all the same thing! Our notion and his notion of tonal gravity! Except that he is trying to relate - just for example - an F Lydian scale to a tonic centered around C: B E A D G C <- F That's what the "new" LCC calls a Conceptual Modal Genre. The C (in ...

Yes.

The Unique Thelonious Monk is one of my favorite albums of all time. Oscar Pettiford is great.

You know, the ladder of fifths and interval tonics are mentioned in chapter one of the "new lcc" book, but I had to read between the lines to come up with this. All the 6 fifths of the ladder are owned by the lydian tonic, according to the idea of "interval tonics based on the ladder ...

Now, I differ with you on one point. In 'Night Bloomer', the last two (-3rds), b-d/f#-a are the last two (-3rds) in the C lydian scale.

Yes, that is what I thought - that you took A-C E-G B-D F#-A from C Lyd. Only after you chose the triads did D Lyd come into the picture.

Motherlode, I appreciate all your comments. I was just playing Night Bloomer and enjoying it, and my 13 year old daughter came in and wanted me to keep playing it. I think I get your thought process, on the first half anyway. It seems to me you started with -3rds in C Lyd as the melody (now that i k...

Why is the Ladder of Fifths only seven notes, thus forming the Lydian scale? Why doesn't the Ladder go on to eight, nine, ten fifths, etc? I am re-posting this here, having posted it a few days ago at another forum. The post assumes we are operating within the frame of reference of the Ladder of Fif...

Again, I would like to stress that I don't posit this as a true axiom of the LCC. I'll give you an example of a problem with minor triads: Take Eb min: Eb Gb Bb G min: G Bb D Both are in the 10 tone order of C Lydian. Knowing this is very good information. The problem comes with ranking these. The t...

Motherlode, Happy New Year! Thanks for your nice compliment. I save your work too! I went back looking at my charts, and sure enough, there from early 2010 was a chart with all kinds of 3-note combinations, with the intention of finding them within Tonal Gravity. The caveat is that I am pretty sure ...

I wanted to share something that's been making a difference in my intuitive grasp of tonal gravity. It's simple, and I think that's what helps. It's just major triads (major to start with) in tonal gravity, arranged in a similar way to how we have arranged intervals. Simply put, find all major triad...

You too ML!

ML = Master Lydiot!

Maestro Lydiot?

That's an interesting coincidence! Yes, how does something like this come together?

Ha ha! Well, luckily, you wrote everything down, so I can catch up! I really liked your 9 tone order thing, but I'll get to that later.

ML and Bob, I'm catching up on all the great content you've put out here since the last time I signed in! I have thought about this question before. "the choice between something that you're good at and something that you love". How do we know that we're good at something? In some ways bec...

Motherlode, Thanks a lot for that update. I'm glad he's doing ok. Too bad that he's on oxygen - it must be difficult to play. (As an aside - do you know they are finding that harmonica playing is good for people with COPD? It's more entertaining but has the equal effect of using those breathing work...

...And it's been interesting and instructive to follow your thoughts ML!
