obscura materia

this track came out of discussions around music theory, and some of the deeper ways i think about music.
the idea i'm working with here, is that each interval type has a circle(s) (like the circle of fifths), and you can base harmonic structures on them. I'm using the rings of diminish 6ths. That creates 4 circles, each an augmented chord. then noodling aronnd with that. the 1->dim6 leap is straight out of star trek. if i made youtube vids i'd call this vid, using the star trek interval lol (with astonished looking face pointing at the enterprise).
i feel like it sounds like the discovery or unlocking of ancient technological artifacts on other planets (total recall maybe), or scientist working alone in a lab, late at night, creates an amazing breakthrough.
i think because of they mysterious-positive vibe of this track, it's solarpunk. an optimistic, utopian vision of the future where we all ride bikes, live off of sun power, and do designer recreation pharmaceuticals.
