Soma (D/A) Zubhinna 9 HD

*** Watch in HD and use proper headphones *** Soma (D/A) Zubhinna 9 played by Dominic. Scale: D3/ A3 C4 D4 D#4 F#4 G4 A4 C5 D5 This Soma is based on the Locrian #6 mode of the Harmonic Minor scale. The Locrian mode is considered to be the darkest, most mysterious and tense of the minor mood scales. The sharpening of the 6th in this Soma adds a hunch of color and more possibilities for resolution. This is a Soma that needs full attention of the player to navigate his or her way through the wondrous maze of consonant and dissonant intervals. From the underworld to the heavens, there is everything in this sound model. What a trip! A personal favorite. Scale categorization: Played with the A3 as dominant note: 2nd mode of the G Harmonic Minor scale (A Locrian #6) but dropping the 2nd degree. Played with the Ding as dominant note: 5th mode of the G Harmonic Minor scale (D Phrygian Dominant) but with a 5th jump to the low note and dropping the 6th scale degree.
