64.81Level 35 — combine with quartal harmony
Take pentatonic notes and form fourth-like shapes.
From C major pentatonic:
D-G-C.
From D major pentatonic:
E-A-D.
These are familiar quartal shapes.
So:
pentatonics
triad pairs
quartal voicings
upper structures
are not unrelated systems.
They are different organizations of overlapping pitch material.
