melodic lines

Today I started sketch some motifs and melodic lines. First of all, I was selecting transpositions of the fragments 1, 2 and 3 original pole and 1, 2 and 3 opposite pole. The rule was: the last note of the first fragment must be the first note of the following fragment (image 1)

Then, I played on the piano and the result was satisfactory. Also, when playing on the piano, I started thinking in Collier’s 'super-ultra-hyper-mega-meta Lydian' scale. So I wanted to explore the scale by thirds constructing a infinite melodic line (image 2)

Knowing that my chords came from the harmonic series, I thought I could use the harmonic series' fundamental do construct a lydian scale. For example, for my chord 1, I could use a simple B lydian scale (image 3). Then, every time I use chord 1 or the transpositions I could use this scale.

But also, I can organise my lydian infinite scale by thirds starting in B and going through the circle of fifths and stop whenever I want. (Image 4 and 5). This could be a way to create a journey between my chords 1 & 2 for example.

After doing this, I was wondering about creating my own scale using the chords I have been exploring. If my chords are in an original mode, I could add a augmented 4th to create in my chords a lydian mode. So, for my chord 1 - transformed into scale - I added two notes: E-natural and B-natural (image 6)


Image 6 - Chord 1 in B plus two added notes.

After, I change the 4th (E-natural) to an augmented 4th (E-sharp) (image 7)

Having created this scale, allow me now to create more scales using the same intervals. However, the intervals of the first group of 4 notes are different from the second group. So, to solve this problem I thought in invert the scales (image 8, 9 and 10)
