During yesterday’s game I made an off the cuff remark that Infernal music uses a system of nine modes named after the layers of Hell as opposed to the traditional seven in Western classical music so of course I’ve been coming up with a system of nine tones per octave for no gain whatsoever, I don’t think I’ve ever spent so much time on something with absolutely zero game effect

I mean one obvious benefit is that I can now say that my character plays her lute in the Stygian mode which rules

Now I’m desperately curious as to what that would sound like…

I haven’t had the time to play around with it so it probably sounds horrible, but okay it’s a system of alternating half-steps and full steps but with two sequential half-steps. The basic Avernal mode in C would be C, Db, Eb, E, F, Gb, Ab, A, and B (and with a final half-step to bring it back to C).

As I said, it probably sounds horrible

I mean it wouldn’t be hard for me to write a piece like that. It won’t sound “correct” to western ears because the root note, C, in that scale will sound like it wants to resolve up to the Db, but if your goal is for music to sound like it’s from Hell, then it’s doable.

Here’s the parameters for this piece:

I’m going to use this scale for expediency’s sake, rather than the two octave scale.

I’m also going to write this piece in 9/8, following the theme of 9′s.

I’m 2 measures in and

oh, oh god. It DOESN’T resolve! I desperately need just one more note, wow. This really does take you to music hell.

(And in a fabulous way, to be clear!)

Actually, it does resolve to the root triad! The 1-3-5 is C-Eb-F, though, so it sounds like it doesn’t.

Sounds better than most music I hear...

Nothing is an excuse to be a pedophile.

So don’t.

Just don’t.
