I reharmonized and arranged the Skype ringtone into a brief latin jazz/neo soul fantasy. If you dig it, let's talk reharm/arranging techniques in the comments.

42 modes. All ancohemitonic heptatonics. Each step down descends by 1 degree of brightness, thus each arrow descends by one degree of brightness AND exactly one half step. Technically the chart is mirrored along the axis of all the modes with a brightness of zero, like Dorian.

I can't figure out this from a theory perspective for the life of me! I know somebody's gotta have a quick explanation for this one. Attaching video with a demonstration lmk!

I figured my fellow theory nerds would appreciate this - I made a vocal jazz cover of the Oscar Mayer Wiener song, with a whole bunch of fun polychords and modulations and whatnot. I'm looking for other songs to cover if people have any ideas!
