Root Shuffling
The root jumps to a new pitch periodically during gameplay — the same noteset is reseated on a fresh root, building the ability to summon the noteset by its type from any root. This makes playing in any key trivial.
Lydian on piano, by ear
Hear a phrase from the lydian and play it back on the piano here — then on yours. The root moves each round; press Play, and answer with Space when you have it. The browser only plays — the app listens.
Lydian
A major mode with a raised 4th — dreamy and floating
Lydian is a major major mode with a raised 4th — the brightest of the three. The ♯4 lifts it above ordinary major, giving a dreamy, floating, otherworldly quality.
