This month's challenge is to make something using only the notes in the pentatonic scale of Insen - if this is too restrictive, then you can just use it as inspiration!
陰旋 is a Japanese scale with a dark sound characterized by the lowered 2nd and absence of any 3rd! The scale degrees are 1 b2 4 5 b7 1, the intervals are minor 2nd, major 3rd, major 2nd, minor 3rd, and in the key of C the notes are C Db F G Bb C.
Deadline is October 1st at midnight wherever you are in the world!
Please keep it to 5 minutes if possible.
