RE: what scale is this?
yeah, traditionally concidered it gravitationally pulls
to g minor harmonic system; if u take every other note, it generates chords cm(7) D7 & gm... i don't recall which was harmonic, which melodic minor. My ears gravitationally pull towards scales where there
is 1) perfect fifth
2) flatted sevenths
because dominant sevenths resolving to tonic sound
cheesy in electronic/dance music context.
there is not just one possible scale here, like damb
allah said. For instance, try open fifths with
left hand, usin D as a "root" then throwin some
c and Eb in the mix while playin melodies with rh...
sounds either flamenco or vaguely oriental
u harmony guy, did u pick up the expression "gravita-
tional pull" from Adorno....?
sorry if this comes second time
