It would have been fun to see a picture. Your words made a nice mental picture. Made me think: "oudy goudy." (reference below) Ok, that is the silliest joke ever said.
When you said re-tune to modal scales, I assumed that you meant to reset the drone causes the overall effect to vary like that, to be modal. Perhaps more modal would be a way to think of it. If modal was to mean exotic sounding. A simple major mode is called ionian, it seems. I enjoyed your narrative of the encounter. I sort of think an Egyptian mode might resemble a major scale with a flatted second. Best wishes, jw <Then an Egyptian student came up and got quite excited because it reminded him of his instrument which is the oud!> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hurdygurdy" group.
