Netagin music, both classical and modern, is usually based on 19 equal divisions of the octave (19edo). The tuning was realized by tuning a chain of 19 pure 6/5 minor thirds, which approximates the tuning to less than 3 cents of error. Though 19edo is a meantone tuning like 12edo and diatonic music is not uncommon in Netagin culture, liturgical and folk music is usually based on the nine-note MOS scale (called godzilla[9] in regular temperament theory) which is an extension of the familiar pentatonic scale. This article mainly deals with the use of godzilla[9] in Netagin music.
A haňier /hɐɲɪɾ/ (literally 'stepping') consists of a nine-note scale plus which subsets to emphasize, either a set of two byri /bɨ'ɾi/ (pentachords or hexachords) or a pezum /pɛ'zym/, a pentatonic subset where 1\19 is not used as a step. Different styles encourage different subset use.
Buris
In theory, the six possible buris with large (C-D) and small (C-C#) steps that build up a scale are:
- C-D-E-E#-F
- C-D-Ebb-E#-F
- C-D-Ebb-Eb-F
- C-Dbb-Ebb-E#-F
- C-Dbb-Ebb-Eb-F
- C-Dbb-Db-E#-F
In practice, usually only the first five are used. The two buris may be disjunct (separated by a major second), or conjunct (either spanning a minor seventh above the root or the major second above the root).
The top note of a buri functions similarly to the ghammāz in Arabic ajnās.
A style that emphasizes buris is preferred for dark, mournful or creepy music (to emphasizing pezums).
Pezums
Pezums are said to sound brighter.
Common pezums are:
- C-D#-F-G-A#-C ("the most neutral-sounding")
- C-D-E-G-A-C ("mellow and joyful")
- C-D-E-G-A#-C ("majestic")
- C-D#-E#-G-A#-C ("slightly sad")
- Variant: C-D-E#-G-A#-C
- C-D#-E#-G#-A-C ("slightly anxious and distressed")
- C-Eb-F-G-Bb-C
Rarer pezums:
- C-Eb-F-G-A#-Cb ("exotic")
- C-D#-F#-Ab-Bb-C 0-250-550-800-1000-1200 ("disoriented")
Modal harmony
Godzilla[9] modal harmony is a more modern construct and is a staple of modern Netagin popular music, such as rock, metal and electronic music.
