KyjMUC space

2026-07-11T15:58:41Z

Lattaio Meimnagaan JS:

The '''KyjMUC (Kyj Meimnagaan's Ultra Cluster)''' space is a set of '''414 different heptatonic scales''', each having it's own name. It keeps the names of the [[Neo-Rimsky-Korsakovian Space|NeRK]] scales and uses some of William Zeitler's [https://allthescales.org allthescales.org] names. The scales are separated into perfect and imperfect modes - perfect if it has a perfect 5th and imperfect if it doesnt. They're also each part of a modal or [[Hypermodal system|hypermodal]] system.

A table of all scales within the KyjMUC is contained in a file called '''ScaleCrap.xlsm'''. It also includes a converted version of [https://allthescales.org/scale-list.csv scale-list.csv] and a modified version of the [[Oreo Theory|oreo chart]] with non-NeRK scales.

<blockquote>Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov considered four scales to be the "basis of harmony": the natural minor and major, and the harmonic minor and major. </blockquote>A '''Neo-Rimsky-Korsakovian space''' (abbreviated '''NeRK''') is the basis of almost all [[wikipedia:Heptatonic_scale|heptatonic]] harmony within modality. Initially posited by Russian composer [[wikipedia:Nikolai_Rimsky-Korsakov|Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov]], since Fizzheads consider the natural minor scale to be the Aeolian major mode, the natural minor scale is thus replaced with the [[Athenian Scale|melodic minor scale]]. This replacement creates four distinct parent scale quadrants defined by the combinations of absence or presence of a ♭3 or a ♭6 in the parent scale.

An individual NeRK yields 28 total scales that cover almost any possible heptatonic color in common practice. 12 different NeRKs exist within [[wikipedia:Equal_temperament|12-tone equal temperament]], one for each root note.

== Notable exceptions ==

=== Melodic minor ♯5 ===
In his book ''Modal Jazz Composition & Harmony, Vol. 1'', Ron Miller presents a unique heptatonic scale, the melodic minor ♯5, that doesn't exist in any NeRK. Two of the most common modes of this scale are Mixolydian ♯9 and Palamidian ♮13. However, these colors can be derived from an octatonic scale, or "close enough" with one of the modes in a NeRK, such as Palamidian or Adonian respectively.

=== Neapolitan ===
The [[wikipedia:Neapolitan_scale|Neapolitan major and minor scales]] are the melodic and harmonic minor scales respectively but with a ♭9. Two of the most common modes of Neapolitan major ([[Chlamydian Scale|Chlamydian]]) are Arcadian ♭13 and major Locrian. Both are "close enough" to a [[wikipedia:Whole-tone_scale|whole-tone scale]] for these to be unnecessary.

=== Kyj Meimnagaan Ultra Cluster ===
The [[KyjMUC space]] contains every possible heptatonic scale, including the 4 NeRK modal systems. Again, most of these are useless, but it covers up most of what you can come up with.

=== Non-heptatonic scales ===
Scales such as octatonic scales, bebop scales, whole-tone scales, etc. that contain more or less than seven notes fall out of the scope of a NeRK.

Horrid F*cking Scale Degrees

'''Horrid fucking scale degrees''' are, as their name indicates, intervalic scale degrees that '''absolutely suck'''. Scale degrees like a ''𝄫5 (double flat fifth)'' or ''𝄪4 (double sharp fourth)'' are immensely stupid, pointless, superfluous and shouldn't exist at all because they can be easily simplified to their enharmonic equivalents. They only exist thanks to mischeivous music theorists, like [[wikipedia:Johann_Mattheson|Johann MattheSON]] or [[wikipedia:Leopold_Mozart|Leopold Mozart]], for the sole purpose of sabotaging the performer's understanding of notation.

It's been noticed that even followers of [[Rotational Fizz|Zen Fizz]] secretly hate this thing.

An example of horrid fucking scale degrees in a scale could be [https://ianring.com/musictheory/scales/699 scale 699] - '''Ultralocrian ''𝄫5''''' (the '''Kertishean''' scale in the [[KyjMUC space]]). This is the step formula (with T for 3 semitones):
H W H H W W T
The scale degrees will then look like this:
1 ♭2 ♭3 ♭4 𝄫5 𝄫6 𝄫7
Absolutely disgusting. Luckily, we can simplify it in this way:
1 ♭2 ♭3 3 4 5 6
Much less scary now, isn't it? Using horrid scale degrees without including equivalents (at least in brackets) is the same as asking a musician to play the 9th mode of Chlamydian ♭5 ♭6 ♭7 in the key of A''𝄪''♯ - which would in full understanding result in simply playing the C major scale.

An allegory for a layman's view could be telling someone to do 560-80*[(√7)(√7)]+(0,39900000 + 0,601000⁹) sommersaults 29827637890 times. '''The number of sommersaults done would then be 1.'''

This is one of the main problems of western music notation listed by Tantacrul in his video essay [https://youtu.be/Eq3bUFgEcb4 "Notation Must Die : The Battle For How We Read Music"].

Another, even more severe example of horrid fucking scale degrees in a heptatonic scale is the '''Altered ''𝄫''3''𝄫''4''𝄫''5''𝄫''6''𝄫''7''' scale ('''Parabriggsian''' in KyjMUC). This is what the unsimplified scale degrees look like:
1 ♭2 𝄫3 𝄫4 𝄫5 𝄫6 𝄫7
Or even worse, the '''"Incoherent" scale''' ('''Horrible''' in KyjMUC), which is, however, a horrible scale on it's own, where common notation isn't to blame:
1 ♭2 𝄫3 𝄫4 𝄫♭5 𝄫𝄫6 𝄫♭7

Hypermodal system

2026-07-11T11:30:45Z

Lattaio Meimnagaan JS:

A '''hypermodal system''' is a set of scales in [[Paramode|paramodal relation]] to each other. It is used for further classification of nonsensical useless scales. Any set of hypermodes has a [[Pass formula|hypermodal formula]].

Heptatonic hypermodal systems are each sets of 2 modal systems - the original modal system and it's paramodal system. They therefore contain 14 different scales.

The best known hypermodal system is the HRMIA (Harmonic Ioni-Aeolian hypermodal system). Others include HRMPL (Harmonic Phrygi-Lydian), ZIPH (which by the way contains a scale with [[Horrid Fucking Scale Degrees|horrid fucking scale degrees]]), PELP4 (Paraemili-Laptian Internible), ARCA2 (Arcadian Alternative Second), MPI (Metaprotoiberian), NMD (Nomadic), LDM (Lemodmodian) and AZEPG (Azzurrepogian) hypermodal systems.

Pass formula

2026-07-09T16:49:35Z

Lattaio Meimnagaan JS:

[[File:HRMIA Hyper.jpg|thumb|The Harmonic Ioni-Aeolian Hypermodal system shows an example of a I:V pass formula.]]
A '''pass formula''' (also paramodal formula, hypermodal formula, hypermodal key) is a parameter in [[Hypermodal system|hypermodal systems]] that determines the arrangement of [[Paramode|paramodes]]. It's derived from the paramode of the first mode - if it's, for instance, the 3rd in it's own modal system, the pass formula of the hypermodal system would be I:III, or III2:I1.

Pass formulae are expressed through a ratio of roman numerals which are the orders of both scales in their own modal system. The first numeral is usually I. If it's not, an arabic numeral is added after both roman numerals to distinguish the original modal system (1) and the paramodal system (2). It doesn't matter at all though, as anyone can understand even with minor incorrections.

The paramodal system is always upside down (ascending from the top to the first mode), which is why it's called a "pass" formula - the modes are passing by in parallels.

== I:V pass formula ==
This pass formula can be seen on the image above. It's the most common pass formula in terms of usage - the Harmonic Ioni-Aeolian and the Harmonic Phrygi-Lydian hypermodes use it.

== I:VII - Perfect pass formula ==
A perfect pass formula is a formula with a ratio of I1:VII2, which means the paramodal system is perfectly reversed next to the original modal system. It is therefore the easiest to derive and to find in a reversed context. An example of a hypermodal system with the perfect pass formula can be the ZIPH hypermodes. In this case, the scales Clordian and Parafizzardic have their modes named just to fit their paramodal counterparts. For example, the paramode of Clordian is Flordian, and the paramode of Phononic is Freenonic.

Paramode

2026-07-09T11:09:35Z

Lattaio Meimnagaan JS: /* Classification */

[[File:Endoparamode.jpg|thumb|An example of an ''endoparamode -'' Ionian's paramode is Phrygian.]]
A '''paramode (or enantiomorph)''' is the output of reversing a scale's semitone step formula or it's degrees. Each scale (excluding scales with positive palindromity, which have 0/itself) have exactly 1 paramode.

On [https://ianring.com/musictheory/scales/finder Ian Ring's scale finder], paramodes are called enantiomorphs, and their existence is determined by the "[[wikipedia:Chirality|chirality]]" of the original scale. A scale without an enantiomorph is called achiral.

A paramode of a single mode from a modal system has it's own modal system and any other mode from that system is a paramode of a mode from of the original scale. A paramodal system is a modal system alligned with another one in a way so that each of the original modes are next to their paramodes. They are never perfectly alligned, which is why one needs a [[pass formula]] to derive the other ones less manually. If two modal systems are based on paramodes of one another, the entire complex is called a [[hypermodal system]]. A paramode is written down like this for short:
Scale -TX- Paramode
It is however not obligatory to use this, though pretty practical for quick notes.

== Classification ==
Though every non-palindromic scale has a paramode, it doesn't necessarily mean it's not also a regular mode. Using paramodes out of the original scale's modal system is very uncommon as it is usually not as intuitive to figure out while performing. That's why we separate paramodes into endoparamodes and exoparamodes.
[[File:Exoparamode.jpg|thumb|246x246px|''Exoparamodal'' relations between Adonian and Morossian prove connection of harmonic minor and major scales.]]

=== Endoparamodes ===
An endoparamode is a paramode that is simultaneously a mode of the original scale. For instance, the paramode of Ionian (Major) is Phrygian, which is also it's 3rd mode. If a scale has an endoparamode, all of it's modes do too. Other endoparamodal systems include [[Modes of the Melodic Minor Scale|Athenian]], [[Chlamydian Scale|Chlamydian]] and Double harmonic major modes.

=== Exoparamodes ===
Exoparamodes are paramodes from outer modal systems. A good example of a paramode from a different modal system is the Sangarian scale in relation to the Appalachian scale. Sangarian is the 3rd mode of the melodic major scale and Appalachian is another name for melodic minor.

Modes of the Harmonic Minor Scale

2026-07-09T11:01:09Z

Lattaio Meimnagaan JS:

The '''harmonic minor modes''' (Appalachian modes) are a modal system of scales derived from the harmonic minor scale (also known as Appalachian).

This scale with the notes 1 2 ♭3 4 5 ♭6 7 is a '''minor scale''' '''(aeolian)''' with a natural 7th. This scale and the modes thereof have a unique, spicy sound. These modes exist in [[Neo-Rimsky-Korsakovian Space]].

The [[Modes of the Harmonic Major Scale|Laramidian (harmonic major) modes]] are [[Paramode|paramodes]] to the Appalachian modes with a [[Pass formula|I:V pass formula.]] Thus, they together form the Harmonic Ioni-Aeolian (HRMIA) hypermodal complex, the only one of it's kind within NeRK.

On [https://ianring.com/musictheory/scales/finder Ian Ring's scale finder], paramodes are called enantiomorphs, and their existence is determined by the "[[wikipedia:Chirality|chirality]]" of the original scale. A scale without an enantiomorph is called achiral.

A paramode of a single mode from a modal system has it's own modal system and any other mode from that system is a paramode of a mode from of the original scale. A paramodal system is a modal system placed alligned with another one in a way so that each of the original modes are next to their paramodes. They are never perfectly alligned, which is why one needs a [[pass formula]] to derive the other ones less manually. If two modal systems are based on paramodes of one another, the entire complex is called a [[hypermodal system]]. A paramode is written down like this for short:
Scale -TX- Paramode
It is however not obligatory to use this, though pretty practical for quick notes.

=== Classification ===
Though every non-palindromic scale has a paramode, it doesn't necessarily mean it's not also a regular mode. Using paramodes out of the original scale's modal system is very uncommon as it is usually not as intuitive to figure out while performing. That's why we separate paramodes into endoparamodes and exoparamodes.
[[File:Exoparamode.jpg|thumb|246x246px|''Exoparamodal'' relations between Adonian and Morossian prove connection of harmonic minor and major scales.]]

==== Endoparamodes ====
An endoparamode is a paramode that is simultaneously a mode of the original scale. For instance, the paramode of Ionian (Major) is Phrygian, which is also it's 3rd mode. If a scale has an endoparamode, all of it's modes do too. Other endoparamodal systems include [[Modes of the Melodic Minor Scale|Athenian]], [[Chlamydian Scale|Chlamydian]] and Double harmonic major modes.

==== Exoparamodes ====
Exoparamodes are paramodes from outer modal systems. A good example of a paramode from a different modal system is the Sangarian scale in relation to the Appalachian scale. Sangarian is the 3rd mode of the melodic major scale and Appalachian is another name for melodic minor.

Modes of the Harmonic Minor Scale

2026-07-08T13:19:05Z

Lattaio Meimnagaan JS:

The '''harmonic minor modes''' (Appalachian modes) are a modal system of scales derived from the harmonic minor scale (also known as Appalachian).

This scale with the notes 1 2 ♭3 4 5 ♭6 7 is a '''minor scale''' '''(aeolian)''' with a natural 7th. This scale and the modes thereof have a unique, spicy sound. These modes exist in [[Neo-Rimsky-Korsakovian Space]].

The [[Modes of the Harmonic Major Scale|Laramidian (harmonic major) modes]] are [[Paramode|paramodes]] to the Appalachian modes with a [[Pass formula|I:V pass formula.]] Thus, they together form the [[Harmonic Ioni-Aeolian hypermodes|Harmonic Ioni-Aeolian (HRMIA) hypermodal complex]], the only one of it's kind within NeRK.

== Modes of the harmonic minor scale ==
* Appalachian (harmonic minor)
* Adonian
* Thesian
* Paralydian
* Herculean
* Calliopean

Destroy Daw December

2026-07-07T16:13:59Z

Lattaio Meimnagaan JS:

[[File:Day 23 DDD.jpg|thumb]]
'''Destroy Daw December''' (DDD) is a hypothetical event and fizz holy month/holiday in which a musician spends every waking moment available to them using and increasing knowledge of their DAW (digital audio workstation) during the month of December. While it has been talked about for years, no one has yet been confirmed to have completed DDD. It is worth noting that due to the rules of DDD, it functions as a natural continuation of No [[Nutting|Nut]] November as well (with nut in the context of string instruments anatomy, obviously).

=== Rules of Destroy Daw December ===
-DDD begins at 12:00am December 1st and ends at anytime chosen on the 31st.

-all waking moments that are freely available must be spent inside the DAW or going between a DAW tutorial and your DAW.

-Take the minimal amount of time needed to fulfill bodily needs and financial obligations.

-exercise and/or meditation routines are allowed, but no more than what is needed to maintain current health and focus. Exeptions can be made if total focus ability improves significantly with some extra time allocated.

-Social media may be used to document progress or share WIPs for feedback, so long all time spent is used for this purpose only.

-Christmas Eve and Christmas Day where family is spending time together for December holidays is optional time off.

Mike vs Jud

2026-07-06T10:39:38Z

Lattaio Meimnagaan JS:

[[File:Mike wojak meme.jpg|thumb|200x200px|The "Mike Wojak" meme used in the fizz discord server]]
The "Mike vs Jud" meme in the [[Fizz Movement|Fizz community]] is a funny stereotypical representation of the sorts of "enemies" of [[fizz]] and its motives.
[[File:Jud wojak meme.jpg|thumb|200x200px|The "Jud Wojak" meme used in the fizz discord server]]
The [[Jud]] (or jazz purist chud) is the representation of a conservative jazz purist who criticizes other musician's work very snobbily, yet in reality, their own work hypocritically indulges in the very elements they criticize. The main stereotypes of a Jud include things like "kills it in the studio, but writes horrible music" or "attacks 'instagram drummers' for playing fucking fills." A Jud typically doesn't like music that deviates *too* far from what their ears are used to, which means that the most extreme hypothetical Jud definitely would be against the fizz movement.

The [[The "Mike" (Microtonal Theorist)|Mike]] (or microtonal theorist) is the representation of a "music" theorist who wants to aggressively shove microtonal theory into every piece of music they can listen to with their two ears. They used to converse in their own corner of the music scene, but have slowly been infiltrating other small niches of the electronic music scene in particular. A Mike truly thinks that their own work is the peak of music innovation, and complains that music written in regular 12-tet tuning is selectively purist.

These two diametrically opposed types of people show both extremes of the scale of someone's need for innovation, yet both share the common trait of thinking their own taste in music is of the highest echelon. The Fizz community is a community that does not take pride in losing the plot. "Losing the plot" would mean caring too much about the more insignificant parts of music and inflating their importance while making fizz music. For example, making a microtonal fizz song just to be "microtonal fizz" would ignore the [[Torus of Fizzosophy|key principles of fizz]].

List of scales and modes

2026-07-04T21:14:03Z

Lattaio Meimnagaan JS: cleaned

This is an unfinished list of '''every (useful) scale ever'''.

"Usefulness" is defined by a few criteria: The scales must be made of whole-steps, half-steps and minor thirds (3H), can't contain more than 2 consecutive half-steps, and can't contain 2 consecutive minor thirds. If you're interested in scales that sound terrible and have no use, check out the [https://en.xen.wiki/w/Main_Page Xenharmonic Wiki].

Fizz often uses obscure/made-up humorous names for a lot of the scales on the list, but any of the names listed after "Aka." in the name tab are generally accepted by music theorists from [[Jazz Imperial Complex|inferior communities]]. Feel free to add names to a scale name tab if you've heard it called something else.

== Scales without clusters ==
Scales that don't contain clusters (2 consecutive half-steps) tend to be the most versatile.

=== Nerk scales ===
Every heptatonic scale that doesn't contain consecutive half-steps. These scales occupy the [[Neo-Rimsky-Korsakovian Space|Neo-Rimsky-Korsakovian (NeRK) space]].

Lattaio Meimnagaan JS: FIXED THE BAD PARAGRAPHS mb guys

[[File:Oreo Theory Chart v2.jpg|thumb|An oreo graph depicting two particularly dissonant notes and a possible combination of notes to resolve them.]]
[[File:Flavor examples.jpg|thumb|Examples of different flavors for the same two Oreo cookies]]
'''Oreo Theory''' is the idea that any two notes, regardless of the interval between them, may be compatible, and that what really matters are the notes that exist between them. Think of it like an Oreo cookie: you have the two dark-colored (unless you eat vanilla oreos.. ew) biscuits on the top and bottom, and you have the cream in the middle that holds them together. The "biscuits" in this sense are the top and bottom notes, and the "cream" are the notes that justify the two notes and solidify their harmonic profile. If you've ever seen reharmonization exercises where the guy takes two notes and sets one to descend chromatically, harmonizing each note pair, you'll understand what we're talking about.
<blockquote>''"for example, bass note D, melody note G# how could we harmonize that? well the interval is a #11. what scales have a #11? lydian, which outlines a DM13#11. or perhaps even arcadian? D13#11"'' - Convexity, May 27th, 2026</blockquote>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-D2qCKrIs14 This video] by Convexity explains Oreo Theory in detail.

'''Oreo Theory''' is the idea that any two notes, regardless of the interval between them, may be compatible, and that what really matters are the notes that exist between them.

List of scales and modes

2026-07-04T17:41:31Z

Lattaio Meimnagaan JS: Aka's for hungarian

This is an unfinished list of '''every (useful) scale ever'''.

"Usefulness" is defined by a few criteria: The scales must be made of whole-steps, half-steps and minor thirds (3H), can't contain more than 2 consecutive half-steps, and can't contain 2 consecutive minor thirds. If you're interested in scales that sound terrible and have no use, check out the [https://en.xen.wiki/w/Main_Page Xenharmonic Wiki].

Fizz often uses obscure/made-up humorous names for a lot of the scales on the list, but any of the names listed after "Aka." in the name tab are generally accepted by music theorists from [[Jazz Imperial Complex|inferior communities]]. Feel free to add names to a scale name tab if you've heard it called something else.

== Scales without clusters ==
Scales that don't contain clusters (2 consecutive half-steps) tend to be the most versatile.

=== Nerk scales ===
Every heptatonic scale that doesn't contain consecutive half-steps. These scales occupy the [[Neo-Rimsky-Korsakovian Space|Neo-Rimsky-Korsakovian (NeRK) space]].

==== Major modes ====
* Ionian
* Dorian
* Phrygian
* Lydian
* Mixolydian
* Aeolian

Tuplets

2026-07-04T17:16:50Z

Lattaio Meimnagaan JS: added ways to notate tuplets

A '''tuplet''' is a rhythm whose basis is a value that is not a multiple of a power of 2, or a rhythm that subdivides a beat in a non-standard way with respect to the time signature. Because western rhythmic notation only has dedicated symbols for powers of 2 (whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, eighth notes, etc) tuplets are necessary to express values that are not multiples of powers of 2. For example: 1/12 of a whole note is not a multiple of a power of two, and so a "1/12th note" cannot be expressed using the standard notes with dots or ties. Instead it is notated and named as an "eighth-note triplet". The most common usage of tuplets is as non-standard divisions of beats. For example, in 4/4, 4 and 2 are inherently felt subdivisions, but groupings of 3 and 5 would be considered tuplets. Similarly in 6/8, dotted-quarter-note beats are subdivided in 3 by default, so a grouping of 2 notes per beat could be written as a tuplet. In this case such a grouping could also be written with dotted notes. Tuplets whose numbers are powers of two (duplets, quadruplets, etc) can always be written as dotted notes, but the tuplet form is sometimes preferred in sheet music for readability.

Tuplets generally follow the naming scheme of [https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuple_names tuples] at large: a tuplet of 5 is often called a ''quintuplet'' or a ''5let'', while a grouping of seven is called a ''septuplet'' or ''7let''. Additionally, some tuplets have their own unique names (which coincide with their [[wikipedia:Polyrhythm|polyrhythmic]] counterparts), such as the hemiola (3:2). There are numerous ways to label tuplets; a more comprehensive list of names can be found on the Wikipedia tuplet page.

A triplet in 4/4 means that 3 beats are subdivided equally in the space of 4 (or 2). A duplet in 3/4 means that 2 beats are subdivided equally in the space of 3. Sometimes, however, the tuplet doesn't fit the inherent subdivision. When this happens, ''ratio tuplets'' are used, where the subdivision is presented as a ratio between two numbers. A ratio tuplet of 5:3 in 4/4 would mean 5 beats are played in the space of 3 beats ''in'' 4/4. This could also be considered "half" of a 5:3 polyrhythm, where only the 5 is present. Musicians often use polyrhythms to learn how to play complex tuplets effectively because they are fundamentally the same thing.

It should be noted that a tuplet can exist without every beat in the tuplet being played. For example, a drummer could play a quintuplet in 4/4 but only play the 1 and 4. Alternatively, the drummer could play all the beats in the quintuplet but [[Accent|accent]] the 1 and 4.

== Counting Tuplets ==
Tuplets can be counted at lower tempos by finding the LCM (least common multiple) of the original note grouping and the tuplet subdivision, then dividing. So, for example, a 5:4 tuplet has an LCM of 20. This means subdividing the tuplet into 20 beats will ensure that each note in the tuplet lands on ''exactly one beat''. 20 ÷ 5 = 4, and 20 ÷ 4 = 5, so the quintuplet notes will fall on every 4th beat, while the quarter notes fall of every 5th.

If we mark the quintuplet notes as bold numbers and the quarter notes as in italics, we can map out this tuplet as such (notice that the beats coincide):

'''''1''''' 2 3 4 '''5''' ''6'' 7 8 '''9''' 10 ''11'' 12 '''13''' 14 15 ''16'' '''17''' 18 19 20

Although the LCM method helps find the ideal subdivisions of a tuplet, the math isn't necessary to count simpler tuplets since it's pretty intuitive: just reverse the numbers (5:4 = quintuplets on every 4th beat, quarter notes on every 5th beat). However, the LCM method is still useful for more complex tuplets and nested tuplets.

== Notating Tuplets ==
Tuplets are usually notated by bracketing the group of notes and signifying the tuplet type with a number above or below. Sometimes, in beamed notes, only the number is present and the notes aren't bracketed.
[[File:Tuplet Examples.jpg|center|thumb|520x520px]]

This applies to ratio tuplets as well. However, there are some differences: often, the note value is displayed next to the ratio above the grouping for clarity:
[[File:Ratio Tuplets Example.jpg|center|thumb|320x320px]]

On the right, three triplets are played with varying note lengths: eighth notes, quarter notes, and sixteenth notes. We can also see that the beamed notes aren't bracketed in this case.

Tuplets can also be notated using [https://metrictrees.netlify.app/ MeTr (Metric Trees)] or [[Stromian Tuplet Notation|STN (Stromian Tuplet Notation)]]. Both provide unique ways to understand the notated tuplet while maintaining usefulness.

== Nested Tuplets ==
When a tuplet is present inside of another tuplet, it is called a ''nested tuplet''.
[[File:Nested Tuplets Example.jpg|center|thumb|420x420px]]

Here, two eighth-note triplets and a 64th-note quintuplet make up a larger triplet. This can be counted by finding the LCM of the three nested tuplets (the LCM of 3, 3, and 5 is 15), and dividing that by each of the nested tuplets (so 15 ÷ 3 = 5, meaning both of the triplets will fall on every 5th beat, and 15 ÷ 5 = 3, meaning the notes of the quintuplet will fall on every 3rd beat, starting at the one). Let's have the eighth-note triplets be bold, the 64th-note quintuplets be in italics, and the larger triplet notes be in parentheses. When mapped out across 15 subdivisions, that looks like this:

('''1''') 2 '''3''' 4 '''5 ''' (''6'') ''7 8 9 10'' ('''11''') 12 '''13''' 14 '''15'''

== Other Types of Tuplets ==

=== Tremolo Tuplets ===
[[File:Tuplet Tremolo.jpg|center|thumb|420x420px]]

Sometimes, a tremolo is written as a tuplet to indicate the number of oscillations. Since bracketing is not needed, only the tuplet number is placed above or below.

Stromian Tuplet Notation

2026-07-04T16:48:42Z

Lattaio Meimnagaan JS:

[[File:Stromian tuplet notation 1.jpg|thumb|Nested tuplet from polyriddim by phonon|399x399px]]'''Stromian tuplet notation''' is a system for expressing '''[[tuplets]]'''. The main purpose of STN is to convey complicated tuplet ideas over text. The system strikes a balance between legibility and efficiency.

It can get frustrating when you send your homie a Fizz WIP and they ask “what’s that rhythm 8 seconds in?” To which you reply ''“It’s a bar long triplet but the first and last of those 3 beats are both nonuplets, and the beat in the middle is just filled with 8th notes. Or 8th note triplets rather... Never mind, you get what I mean. Actually I'll draw a picture and send it..."''. STN allows you to reply with "it's 3[9:1+4:1+9:1]:2/2" like an absolute chad.

== [https://fizzwiki.com/Tuplets#Nested_Tuplets Nested Tuplets] ==
[[File:Stromian tuplet notation 2.jpg|thumb|Nested tuplet used frequently in The Black Page by Frank Zappa|199x199px]]
In STN, the '''nest tuplet''' '''(outside tuplet)''' is written with the numerator at the beginning and the denominator at the end, the contents of which are written in a bracketed section in between, which includes the nested tuplet and however many beats come before and or after it. In this page's main image, the "11[ ]:8" is the nest tuplet, the "8:6" is the nested tuplet, and the "+5" is the leftover beats in the nest tuplet.

The '''nested tuplet's denominator''' and '''leftover beats''' will always add up to the '''nest tuplet's numerator,''' making the nest tuplet's numerator redundant. The purpose of writing the nest tuplet's numerator at all is to make it more legible. The idea is for the human reader to glance at "7[1+3:2+4]:4", see the "7[ ]:4" and immediately think "So it's a septuplet. Now to figure out what's inside". The notation system used by the [https://metrictrees.netlify.app/ MeTr] music tool on [https://chambercode.com/ ChamberCode] is very similar to STN for nested tuplets, except it doesn’t have STN’s redundant nest tuplet numerator.

== Bridge Tuplets ==
[[File:Bridge Tuplet Visualization.jpg|thumb|200x200px|[7:4+6:4][5+6:4+4]:8]]One way of notating [[Bridge Tuplets|bridge tuplets]] in STN is by using '''two''' bracketed sections, the '''first''' one laying out the two tuplets being bridged, and the '''second''' one laying out where the bridge tuplet starts, its ratio, and where it ends. For example, a bridge tuplet in which a '''7:4''' and a '''6:4''' are being bridged by a '''6:4''' somewhere in the middle could be written like [7:4+6:4][5+6:4+4].

== Limitations ==
[[File:Nested nested triplet.jpg|thumb|200x200px|Nested nested triplet]]
[[File:Non-dyadic nested bridge tuplet.jpg|thumb|200x200px|<nowiki>8[[4:3+7:5][2+7:6+3]]:8/7</nowiki>]]
=== Ambiguity ===
When written with STN, the exact length of the tuplet can be ambiguous. If there’s a 4 in the denominator, that could mean that the tuplet is 4 ''quarter notes'' long, but it could also be 4 ''eighth notes'', 4 ''sixteenth notes'', etc. This ambiguity can be solved by writing the nest tuplet's denominator as a '''time signature''' instead of a plain number.

11[8:6+5]:'''8''' —> 11[8:6+5]:'''8/8'''

=== Legibility ===
A triplet inside of a nested triplet is pretty easy to conceptualize when reading it on sheet music, as opposed to STN, where it would be written like “3[3[3:2+1]:2+1]:2”. STN has its limitations, but it allows those familiar with it to glance at “11[6+9:5]:8” and think “ah yes, a 11:8 tuplet with a nested 9:5 at the end”.

A '''blud (banana loving chud)''' is someone who loves bananas so much, they feel the need to constantly feed their insatiable selves with the fruit. Bluds often use 4chan, Discord chats, and other platforms to constantly send absurdly detailed pictures or even 3d renders of bananas, even when it's completely irrelevant to anything whatsoever. Some believe that the symptoms of blud are caused by potassium overdose, which many banana lovers suffer from due to the obscene amount of it in their diet.

The opposite of a blud is a [[Bud (Banana Hating Chud)|'''bud''']] (banana hating chud). Bluds also often engage in "bud hunts", in which they challenge buds they find to a banana sword duel. The ultimate goal of the brutal game is to [[wikipedia:Banana_split|banana-split]] the opponent in half. Other symptoms of blud include mysterious disappearings of bananas from local plantages, having an obsession with [https://ninjakiwi.com/Games/Mobile/Bloons-TD-6.html BloonsTD6] or even [[wikipedia:Primate|primates]] in general, and more.

List of scales and modes

2026-07-03T20:23:58Z

Lattaio Meimnagaan JS: minor corrections + inferior communities link

This is an unfinished list of '''every (useful) scale ever'''.

"Usefulness" is defined by a few criteria: The scales must be made of whole-steps, half-steps and minor thirds (3H), can't contain more than 2 consecutive half-steps, and can't contain 2 consecutive minor thirds. If you're interested in scales that sound terrible and have no use, check out the [https://en.xen.wiki/w/Main_Page Xenharmonic Wiki].

Fizz often uses obscure/made-up humorous names for a lot of the scales on the list, but any of the names listed after "Aka." in the name tab are generally accepted by music theorists from [[Jazz Imperial Complex|inferior communities]]. Feel free to add names to a scale name tab if you've heard it called something else.

== Scales without clusters ==
Scales that don't contain clusters (2 consecutive half-steps) tend to be the most versatile.

=== Nerk scales ===
Every heptatonic scale that doesn't contain consecutive half-steps. These scales occupy the [[Neo-Rimsky-Korsakovian Space|Neo-Rimsky-Korsakovian (NeRK) space]].

Neo-Rimsky-Korsakovian Space

2026-07-03T18:03:24Z

Lattaio Meimnagaan JS: added a few links.

[[File:A diagram of a Neo-Rimsky-Korsakovian Space, with every possible mode organized by brightness and stability.png|thumb|500x500px|'''A diagram of a Neo-Rimsky-Korsakovian Space, with every possible mode organized by brightness and stability''']]
<blockquote>Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov considered four scales to be the "basis of harmony": the natural minor and major, and the harmonic minor and major. </blockquote>A '''Neo-Rimsky-Korsakovian space''' (abbreviated '''NeRK''') is the basis of almost all [[wikipedia:Heptatonic_scale|heptatonic]] harmony within modality. Initially posited by Russian composer [[wikipedia:Nikolai_Rimsky-Korsakov|Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov]], since Fizzheads consider the natural minor scale to be the Aeolian major mode, the natural minor scale is thus replaced with the [[Athenian Scale|melodic minor scale]]. This replacement creates four distinct parent scale quadrants defined by the combinations of absence or presence of a ♭3 or a ♭6 in the parent scale.

An individual NeRK yields 28 total scales that cover almost any possible heptatonic color in common practice. 12 different NeRKs exist within [[wikipedia:Equal_temperament|12-tone equal temperament]], one for each root note.

== Notable exceptions ==

=== Melodic minor ♯5 ===
In his book ''Modal Jazz Composition & Harmony, Vol. 1'', Ron Miller presents a unique heptatonic scale, the melodic minor ♯5, that doesn't exist in any NeRK. Two of the most common modes of this scale are Mixolydian ♯9 and Palamidian ♮13. However, these colors can be derived from an octatonic scale, or "close enough" with one of the modes in a NeRK, such as Palamidian or Adonian respectively.

=== Neapolitan ===
The [[wikipedia:Neapolitan_scale|Neapolitan major and minor scales]] are the melodic and harmonic minor scales respectively but with a ♭9. Two of the most common modes of Neapolitan major ([[Chlamydian Scale|Chlamydian]]) are Carian (Arcadian♭13) and Vesuvian (major Locrian). Both are "close enough" to a [[wikipedia:Whole-tone_scale|whole-tone scale]] for these to be unnecessary.

=== Non-heptatonic scales ===
Scales such as octatonic scales, bebop scales, whole-tone scales, etc. that contain more or less than seven notes fall out of the scope of a NeRK.

Fizz De Novism

2026-07-03T17:49:27Z

Lattaio Meimnagaan JS: added a link to writers block on wikipedia.

Fizz De Novism (or just "De Novism") is a philosophy and value found in extended fizz ideology and practiced by some fizz musicians which describes the practice of "forcing" new music, cultural ideas, and concepts into existence without the need or permission of a naturalistic force to guide or allow it to propagate. Many musical gestures, conceptual ideas, and new labels for existing or concepts created by fizz musicians are claimed to have been forced into existence in such a manner. Denovists believe that forced repetition of attempts and/or uses of ideas, essentially "repetition legitimizes" applied on a memetic level, is always possible and is encouraged, rejecting hard linguistic naturalism. Some See Fizz De Novism as a part of Fizz Counter Culture, and a form of rebellion against the [[Kumbaya Ideology|Kumbaya Industrial Complex]].

=== Beliefs and Practices Within De Novism ===
Denovists commonly reject and strongly challenge the idea that an artist or musician needs some form of "inspiration" in order to output strong or fully realized musical ideas, and prefer to adopt a mindset of radical artistic agency, which is a phrase that can be used to describe the belief that "lacking inspiration" or having "[[wikipedia:Writer's_block|writer's block]]" as a reason to not try outputting is a self imposed mental block that should be seen as just a challenge to work around, and that forcing musical output is always possible, even if it's difficult. Denovists don't doubt that writer's block is real, they simply reject that it's a death sentence of one's artistic agency and ability to create fully realized musical output.

Denovists also really like giving names to concepts they think should have names. "Fizz De Novism" is actually an example of this, and is thus an [[wikipedia:Autological_word|autological]] term. Terms being spread can either be made up, or be already existing and be spread.

List of scales and modes

2026-07-03T17:36:25Z

Lattaio Meimnagaan JS: rest of the mode names

This is an unfinished list of '''every (useful) scale ever'''.

"Usefulness" is defined by a few criteria: The scales must be made of whole-steps, half-steps and minor thirds (3H), can't contain more than 2 consecutive half-steps, and can't contain 2 consecutive minor thirds. If you're interested in scales that sound terrible and have no use, check out the [https://en.xen.wiki/w/Main_Page Xenharmonic Wiki].

Fizz often uses obscure/made-up humorous names for a lot of the scales on the list, but any of the names listed after "Aka." in the name tab are generally accepted by music theorists from inferior communities. Feel free to add names to a scale name tab if you've heard it called something else.

== Scales without clusters ==
Scales that don't contain clusters (2 consecutive half-steps) tend to be the most versatile.

=== Nerk scales ===
Every heptatonic scale that doesn't contain consecutive half-steps. These scales occupy the [[Neo-Rimsky-Korsakovian Space|Neo-Rimsky-Korsakovian (NeRK) space]].

List of scales and modes

2026-07-03T14:00:39Z

Lattaio Meimnagaan JS: added a few mode names

This is an unfinished list of '''every (useful) scale ever'''.

"Usefulness" is defined by a few criteria: The scales must be made of whole-steps, half-steps and minor thirds (3H), can't contain more than 2 consecutive half-steps, and can't contain 2 consecutive minor thirds. If you're interested in scales that sound terrible and have no use, check out the [https://en.xen.wiki/w/Main_Page Xenharmonic Wiki].

Fizz often uses obscure/made-up humorous names for a lot of the scales on the list, but any of the names listed after "Aka." in the name tab are generally accepted by music theorists from inferior communities. Feel free to add names to a scale name tab if you've heard it called something else.

== Scales without clusters ==
Scales that don't contain clusters (2 consecutive half-steps) tend to be the most versatile.

=== Nerk scales ===
Every heptatonic scale that doesn't contain consecutive half-steps. These scales occupy the [[Neo-Rimsky-Korsakovian Space|Neo-Rimsky-Korsakovian (NeRK) space]].

==== Major modes ====

* Dorian
* Phrygian
