This a track from Isaac DelPozo's first CD – CYCLE.
It's based on mathematical formulae derived from the LCC.

He calls this Super Lydian

So I think this is some of the most interesting work I've seen (heard) on the Concept.
What do you think of this music people???

My question exactly - So Isaac. What is Super Lydian? And how does it apply to your composition A Very Altered Cherry for example ??

[quote="SalKur"]"super lydian' if these are your words, what does it mean?[/quote]
i use "superlydian" to describe lydian augmented, the logic being that if superlocrian is the flattest mode of the melodic minor one tone flat from locrian, then "superlydian" is the sharpest mode from melodic minor, one tone sharp from lydian. i would not presume to speak for isaac in any event, but perhaps this is what he meant...

Hello to everyone,
The harmony of A very altered Cherry is al lydian chords.
You can use either the lydian mode of each chord or the lydian augmented mode also called "superlydian".
All this harmony moves in a modal fashion without dominant motion.
The principle of tonal gravity explains that there is no need to have tension in the chords , cause they move in a natural way due to the exponential geometry of the chromatic scale.

I hope that the original helps!
I upload the piano part and the solos harmony.

Hello salkur,
The composition is thought in an open key ( there´s no main tonality).
I don´t understand the meaning of "playground swing".
Mathematics define all chords as sum´s of sinusoidal signals and the scales describe ( when tempered) an exponential curve, so answering to your question this is the role that they play.
Lydian chords also can move anywhere, you can try the following progressions on the keyboard:
FLYD/GLYD/ALYD/GLYD/ ( ballad feel)
FLYD/ABLYD/DBLYD/GBLYD/ (random feel)
So it´s proven that they move ANYWHERE. In non-functional music there is no need to have a harmonic justification.
I can upload something about the algebraic characteristics of the lydian scale if the forum is interested.
Isaac
