Part 1 of 2: The Consonant Nucleus of the Lydian Chromatic Scale. Composed and performed by Andy Wasserman, transcribed by Chris Bandy.

The Lydian Scale, The Lydian Augmented Scale, and The Lydian Diminished Scale are part of the nine-tone order called "The Consonant Nucleus" for their chord-producing qualities, which encompass the five fundamental chord categories of Western Music: Major, Minor, Seventh, Augmented, and Diminished.

These are the first three of a set of songs that explores the Seven Vertical Scales of the Lydian Chromatic Concept of Tonal Organization—a tribute to the Concept’s creator, George Russell.
