Sevish - Thundersnow

Описание: Thundersnow by Sevish from Formless Shadows.

This scale glacial[7] is quite an odd feel. If you're familiar with the whole tone scale you might hear glacial[7] as a modified version of that. The whole tones are somewhat narrow at around 185 cents, such that when you stack 6 whole tones atop each other, you're left with enough space at the top to fit a semitone.

In melody, that semitone can function quite usefully as a leading tone to establish a tonal center while still having wholetoney feelings between the other 6 notes. Aside from the comparisons to the whole tone scale, glacial feels xenharmonic to me, giving me impressions of desolation and dreaminess.

I've used POTE tuning here which means the 2/1 (octave) is tuned pure while all the other intervals are compromised by some kind of optimal tempering. 13ed2 would also be a fine way to tune glacial[7].

There are other interesting things one could say about glacial but I think that's enough from me. Enjoy the music!
