    01 - The History of the Ring
    Jan 15 2026
    Terminology:

    Minor-moded -
    Built on a musical language or distances between notes that naturally sounds somber, reflective, or mournful rather than bright or triumphant.

    Minor triad -
    Three notes played together that, because of the ratios of distance between them, form the emotional core of a sad or serious sound.

    Raised fourth -
    A raised fourth is a note that sits just outside of the typical “expected” harmony, creating a subtle sense of tension and unease.

    Two harmonic regions at once -
    This means the music briefly suggests two different emotional or tonal “places” at the same time instead of committing to one.

    A Minor and F Minor -
    Examples of collections of 7 different notes that, because of the distances between each note in sequence, result in a more sombre, sad, or melancholy tone.

    A♭ (enharmonic relationship) -
    This refers to a pitch that is technically the same sound as another note but spelled differently to allow for written clarity in the music.

    Added ninth -
    An extra note layered onto a chord that often is characterized as softening the sound without fully resolving the tension beneath it.
