Track 205: Reverie (G Mixolydian)

Fourth modal exploration. The flat 7th creates a dreamy, unresolved quality — the mind drifting between waking and sleeping.

6 instruments, 196 notes, 4:42. The English horn reverie motif hangs on the F5 — the flat 7th, the reverie note.

Modal series: Dorian → Phrygian → Lydian → Mixolydian (reverie)

99th unique emotion. One from 100.

The week 2 musical challenge for FAWM is... GET MODAL!

Most pop songs are in a Major/Minor key — aka the “Ionian/Aeolian” modes. Try something unusual by writing in one of the 5 other modes! Ex: “Army of Me” (Björk; C Locrian), “Gin and Juice” (Snoop Dogg; F Phrygian), “Man on the Moon” (R.E.M., C Lydian)

You can post it to the new "Challenges" section at https://fawm.org

Today's random thought turned hyper-focus: what would Twinkle Twinkle Little Star sound like in all 7 modes of the major scale? So here they are in all their weirdness. As expected, Locrian (the last one) is terrifying.

Oh and the image I made using #blender. It's a volumetric with a bunch of math nodes thrown at it.
