Oh that's fun! It's nice but somewhat unsettling, would be a good test to have someone listen and try to guess the gimmick. It's almost like I can feel the perplexity spike whenever there's a natural spot for the root and the melody 'sike's elsewhere instead 😂

It sounds pentatonic at times, modal at others, so my mind would probably jump between something of east Asian origin, or Ravel. I don’t think I’d ever get around to guessing “a fugue with no tonic.”

Ends up as G# Phrygian.

I like it. Sometimes it feels like traditional Chinese music.

G# takes up the role of the root note so it ends up being Phrygian mode.

Now things are getting interesting

Sounds like it’s trying to find tonic.

Interesting sound - you're in danger of carrying out an experimental music procedure and discovering new compositional methods here...careful!

miles davis recommended never landing on the tonic to soloists, this keeps the momentum rolling

It doesn't sound like it is written in E major!

Sounds like a pentatonic minor scale built on G# for most of the piece.

I mean i dont think jazz musicians have played the root for 40 years

Fascinating. I just heard it as being in the Key of B mixolydian

It created harmonies not music though

This is good sleep music. My brain would shut itself off just so it could dream up a sweet resolution.

curious how much time did ultra effort spend on this?

I don’t think there’s any way to see how many tokens an individual conversation used in Codex.

Well. Either it lacks resolution and is quite irritating or could be interpreted as in C# minor, which is relative minor to E Major.

Wouldn't it just make that one of the other modes?

Sounds like the perfect evening time rpg town music.

Alright and how does it sound?

I would suggest E Phrygian

sounds a little stanchinsky-ish in parts
