Deep dives
Influences of the Hexadic System
The Hexadic System in music is primarily inspired by the idea of equal temperament, where every note has an equal weight and can work harmoniously with every other note. This concept was influenced by the experimental tuning systems used in ancient Babylon, relying on the number 60 as a base. The hexadic approach aims to explore new realms of musical composition by moving away from traditional music theory and allowing for more creative exploration.
