Oo finally something non-technical that there doesn’t seem to be anything freely available about on the internet: Tchaikovsky’s diarial term for his homosexuality: “sensation Z”.
Oh wait, “aspine” also falls into this category.
“I have nothing to declare but my genus”, the shallow go-go boy once said (ho ho ho what a pun).
I was playing about with a scale based around the interval of the fifth today, I did end up slipping into treating it as a curious major scale, that gradually slides out of key as you move up and down – but so long as you stay within any 10-note interval you can pretend to be in a normal key. So I liked that, and if you force yourself to fit into a certain pattern of occupying varoious parts of the keyboard, you get modulations for free. Not sure it’s much more than of use for a little fun. But it does work nicely, and as a scale doesn’t sound too bad!
These bitch sessions are pretty funny (yeah, I’ve returned to linking to stuff in posts, oh I am such a sellout).
