Moon Modes
I've devised a sensible correlation between the 7 modes of the Major Scale and the phases of the moon. The brightest mode (Lydian, mode IV, with the most sharps) corresponds to the Full Moon (the brightest phase). Observe the complete system below:

Chaos In Boxes: twisted adventures in music theory
Sean Luciw: guitarist, producer, recording artist, multi-instrumentalist, artist, record company owner, authour.
"Chaos In Boxes: twisted adventures in music theory" is a 190-page, handmade limited edition book documenting some of my travels thru the universe of music and numbers, written in a quirky, down-to-earth style.

Music is the context for most of my life's passions. I like knowing how things work, so I ponder music theory quite a bit. (I've been playing guitar and producing music for over 20 years, as well as any other various artistic creativities to satisfy my short attention span). It's amazing how so many things in the universe can be explained by, or likened to, musical concepts. I wrote the book "Chaos In Boxes" as a method for making abstract ponderings real. The book spans the gamut from philosophical head-scratchers to absolute silliness, but my favourite parts - the real juicy bits - are my new contributions to music theory. There's stuff in here for musicians and non-musicians alike, but if you're familiar with the 7 modes and the chromatic scale and whatnot, there's definitely some stuff in "Chaos In Boxes" for you to sink your teeth into.
