@cherubiks with fixed do

so their "do" is always our C

@cherubiks they use solfege for everything!

@behold3r u r cute

@socks so like, if you wanted to describe a melody but didn't care about the scale, you'd have to just say all the notes and then say "but transpose it to whatever you like"?

Spanish doesn't use letters to refer to notes, i am fucked up atm

@socks how do you talk about a melody in a scale-independent way??

i'm fascinated

@socks do you do the thing where like, C# is "di"?

@socks you don't have letter names at ALL? that would do it i guess

accidentally started a music notation argument between my partners

@socks we already call the notes by a unique letter name so it's redundant to also have a syllable name for singing

instead we use that for intervals from the root

(and "si" became "ti" so that they'd all start with a unique letter)

@socks so if i do this does it bug you :3c

@socks in English we use "movable do", which means that "do re mi fa so la ti do" is always walking up whichever scale we're using

in some places in the world, they have "fixed do", so that's always walking up C major

@Frinkeldoodle no you're not a bother!!

tbh i think us sharing a name is so cute that it vastly outweighs any slight inconvenience

in some places in the world, "do re mi" etc means specifically "C D E" etc, rather than meaning "root second third" and that fucks me up

@BestGirlGrace and that's why you want to spread the love, yeah?

mixolydian is like the major scale but it has a flat seventh

just posted this in a thread but i'm gonna post it here because it's so fucking wild

why is It Wasn't Me in mixolydian. what the fuck

like of all the songs to do an interesting music theory thing, why is it the "picture this we were both ᵇᵘᵗᵗ naked" one

@cherubiks though that's still a little weird because i believe her meatspace last name starts with m

@cherubiks we're already holly m and holly f so you're actually not far off
