An e-book version of "Chaos In Boxes" is currently in the editing phase. While I was editing, a footnoted brainfart got a bit of exploration, and an exciting new observation is the result.
Ready?
Here it is:
QUESTION: What do you get when you subtract the Major Scale from the Chromatic Scale?
PROCEDURE: The C Major Scale contains the notes C, D, E, F, G, A, B. The Chromatic scale contains all of these, plus C#, D#, F#, G#, A#. Those notes make up the F# Major Pentatonic Scale.
ANSWER: the Chromatic Scale minus any chosen Major Scale results in the Major Pentatonic Scale whose root is a tritone away from the root of the chosen Major Scale.
At the risk of attracting ridicule from the establishment, I'm sticking my chest out real far while putting a big old "Quod Erat Demonstrandum" on this document.
Q.E.D.
Booyah, baby!

Ancient Solfeggio Tones Volume 1
In Section V of my book "Chaos In Boxes" I explore
the Ancient Solfeggio Tones at great length, using
various diagrams and a healthy mixture of vertical
thinking (ie. cold logic) and lateral thinking (ie. creativity)...
where I discovered, for example, the presence of
The Golden Mean. These are ideas presented on a
printed page.
I am now pleased to announce the availability of
real Solfeggio music, available for download and on
hardcopy. Each tone is presented in a multilayered,
multi-octave texture, generated electronically
in a style which is aesthetically similar to didjeridoos or
crystal bowls for a lush meditative experience. Enjoyable
at low or high volume, in the background or as part of
an immersive experience.
Go to the page on my website which includes a list of
links, or go directly to iTunes.
