Published by Brian Streckfus (A0.1136061).If someone is yawning saying, "I'm sick and tired of playing music in the key of C Major, I want to use a scale hardly anyone uses." Then this piece is for you.

3. Less stereotypical chords
4. Fingerings and letter names added to aid in sight-reading
5. Voice leading considerations
The Scale I used is: D Eb F# G A Bb D. The name of it would be something bizarre. These names include: Jewish, harmonic major, or a mode of G harmonic minor. If I included a C#, it would be a symmetrical scale that can't be retrograded, adding to the mathematical mystique. An exotic sounding atmosphere was what I was going for.
Tips:
1. Since it is exotic, microtonal pre-bends seem appropriate to make it even more exotic sounding. That is what the upwards pointing swoosh means. Perhaps the sound of a sitar was what I was going for.
2. Slides also make it sound more exotic.
3. Exotic music uses drone tones more often than American music. Therefor, droning a low D made sense.
4. The naming of chords would be quite difficult since it is more of an alien music language than a western one. I just left them out this time. Names would happen such as Dadd4(b9)omit3. Pretty alien chords if you ask me, and you can see that the western chord nomenclature is struggling to name it elegantly. Anytime chords are build in 4th and 5ths rather than 3rds, usually the name that results is quite complex.
5. I added unisons because it makes it sound more mysterious in my opinion.
