I am looking into the image Schubert shared in his last post - I am finding there are some very interesting pieces about that image and the person who created it. I have notes and thoughts in this document and would love any feedback and thoughts - a couple of pieces that really jump out are
1. Lippius created the triad harmonic (associated with chords) and Lightman was mentioning the Harmony Glyph
2. A little more on the harmoinic - "Simple and correct harmonic triad is the true and triune sounding root most perfect and perfect harmony, which only can be in the world, as well as thousands and millions of sounds (all of which boil down to her [harmony] parts in a simple and composite unison"
2. Lippius studied theology, languages and music........
3. that image links to dyads and diatonic intervals - is that what a shaper cycle is based on, a diatonic interval
4. Soundsmusic are a type of energy wave, Xm is energy... waveforms, is that a key?
5. this is from the wiki page caption for the image - The diagram in the form of a circle Lippi ("Synopsis of new music», f.F3r) shows all of the possible combinations of one octave diatonic intervals. Each of the steps of an octave corresponds to the smallest integer (read counterclockwise

thoughts???
oh both of those have opposites - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discordia
ReplyDeleteA diatonic scale (as shown in the image with counter clock wise steps of 1, 1, 1/2, 1, 1, 1, 1/2) would give (starting with C): C + 1 = D + 1 = E +1/2 = F + 1 = G + 1 = A + 1 = B + 1/2 = C.
ReplyDeleteThese notes can also be obtained through the circle of fifths (starting with F, using a 'perfect fifth' which equals 7 semitones): F – C – G – D – A – E – B
'fifths' vs ' 5 hour intervals' in the shaper cycle...
A great hint at sound glyphs. The first two images clearly depict music on a staff. The second one depicts octaves. If it's a Treble Clef, then it would be E on the bottom line, but it could be any clef. There used to be some crazy ones in the past
