a Stickschrift for Emmett Chapman about his "Offset Modal System" by Sean Malone

The Lydian mode is like a major scale except scale degree 4 is raised one half step: Lydian.mp3

The Mixolydian mode is just like a major scale except scale degree 7 is lowered one half step: Mixolydian.mp3

The Dorian mode is like a natural minor scale except scale degree 6 is raised one half step: Dorian.mp3

The Phrygian mode is like a natural minor scale except scale degree 2 is lowered one half step: Phrygian.mp3

The Locrian mode is like a natural minor scale except that scale degrees 2 and 5 are both lowered one half step. This is the only mode where two pitches are affected: Locrian.mp3
