Hey /mu/, I remember a really long time ago my old bass teacher taught me this really strange scale you could play that created an audio illusion. When you played it from one note up to its octave, it sounded off, and only actually sounded like a full octave when you played the last note a half-step higher, for instance C to C#

I haven't been able to find anything about it online, can anyone remind me what it's called or how to play it? It's been driving me crazy
>>
interested. someone please chime in with it

Locrean mode,
Not an illusion, just a scale with a tense unresolved sound that works over diminished chords.

google: Shepard Tones

>>
>>61058235

seems to fit the descriptionn i guess, but I think OP i was looking for some kind of altered scale like harmonic minor or melodic minor. stuff like that. does it ring any bells for anyone?

>>61059086
is definitely not this
>>
The way this is described is annoying as shit in this video because she isn't talking, but actually doing it, but yeah here it is

You guys, it's not the fucking shepard's tone
That's a meme illusion. Babby's first illusion.

>>61059969
>>61059086
seriously in need of reading comprehension test
>>
>>61058235
it might be the whole tone scale
its the scale that has that 'dreamy' sound is you play it. it speaks for itself, just whole tones (2 semitones)
