mapped it all out as mermaid then touched it up in autodesk sketchup
bc it was super short and wide.
previewed it with mermaid js
screenshot with flameshot
added mermaid js and markdown support to my blog to try
to do it all with mermaid but im not going to keep it
I like using html now and its not worth loading the
highlight js cdn twice.
ai upscaled it in ibispaint because it was pixelly.
ive been thinking alot about the 6th mode of the harmonic minor scale lately.
that lydian sharp# sound. its so cool it can be diminished m6, minor maj7, major7, major 6. its got that phrygian kinda sound love recentering my whole world to revolve around it instead or the major key paradigm. love mapping out its alterations.
Thinkin bout those bebop scales
what is the passing tone for each?
dorian bebop = the major 3rd
melodic minor = the #5 (just like regular barry harris)
harmonic minor = the b7
dominant = natural 7
WH scale = good for diminished 7
1,2,b3,4,#4,#5,6,7,8
HW = 713b9
1,b2,b3,3,#4,5,6,b7,8
ALT = 1,b2,b3,3,#4,b6,b7,8
Thinkin bout those minor scales
what do they have in common? what sets them apart?
obviously they all have a minor third.
melodic minor is just major scale with a flat 3 its got a natural 7 so does
Harmonic minor again with the maj 7 also got b6
dorian phrygian aeolian all have b7
phrygian flat 2 obviously. also flat 6 b7
natural minor (aeolian) aeoli sauce. has flat 6 also like phrygian
okay so phrygian and aeolian have b6 and of course b7 and b3.
they can be ordered in sequence with each one having one more alteration than the last.
major scale: NOTHING!!
melodic minor: b3 = 1
dorian: b3,b7 = 2 = 2
aeolian: b3,b6,b7 = 3
phrygian: b2,b3,b6,b7 = 4
btw the font im using is redhat mono.
I like monotype fonts. reminds me of the terminal.
I like permanent marker . monotype fonts also remind me of the realbook. like something that was hammered out out a typewriter and then photocopied.
Now that I figured out how to use newsboat I am going to consider accessibility more. I love being able to read stuff in the terminal. bloggers editor is ugly as hell its like a flash bang. I got into using stack-edit to write in markdown bc it uses bloggers api. but what sucks are the changes aren't always synced up if you want to make some changes sometimes the main one is a few commits behind and its easy to save over a blog. its cool that is can be used with local storage but its annoying having to nuke it every time and pull down the latest changes because theres a welcome text file you gotta delete every time. its kind of stupid having to use a whole other website to edit a site. Thats what got me looking for other alternatives. Hugo markdown and github pages, although each one kind of has its own things going for it. Now that I know you can easily link youtube videos in a blogger post thats a huge plus. its kind of hacky to do that on gh pages. its a whole process.
How to get youtube videos on GH pages
take a screenshot
shrink the image. on iphone i think theres an app callred resizr? make it 320px
i use mweb to upload the image to imgur and grab the md link
make a link and put the image markdown inside where the text description would go
its like a russian nesting doll of markdown inside markdown.
markdownception.
all that just for yt video because gt doesn't do youtube iframe embedding. but yeah its cool that it can be done its just a whole lot of hassle. you really learn to appreciate it when you don't need to go to all that trouble and it just works.
BLACK SCREEN GOODNESS
as much as I love nice layouts and css. It gives you perspective when its all gone. A bare bones page in the terminal is wonderful. I tried to rassle with the blogger layout and didn't get too far with it even after I learned a bit of html css and javascript i figured they just don't give you that much freedom and i've kind of made peace with it and learned to cope. The github page i've gone all in on styling and its taken me away from what I was actually trying to say in the first place. I welcome this change. no bs-ing here. you couldn't do it if you tried and i like that.
