You’ve Never Seen the Major Scale Like This: A Cosmic Story in Sound


Hey Reader,

I just made something wild — and I think you’re going to love it.

It’s a 1:30 min video lesson (part of a longer YouTube video I’m working on), but I couldn’t wait to share it with you. This isn’t your typical scale breakdown. It’s music the way the ancient Greeks saw it:

Not as a list of notes, but as a cosmic spiral — a story unfolding through sound.

Each chord, each interval carries its own psychological tension and function.

I created the video 100% on my phone, using only free apps and AI tools. My first time experimenting with AI characters based on my drawings — and it turned out beautifully!

Hi Reader! A brand-new guitar arrived the other day in the studio — the Donner HUSH-I Pro (Hawaiian Blue edition) — and today I posted a full unboxing + sound test on YouTube. I was honestly surprised by how good this thing looks in person, and the plugged-in tone is better than I expected for a travel/silent guitar. If you’re curious what comes in the box and how it sounds straight out of the package, check it out here: 👉 Watch the video In the video I go through: 🎁 unboxing 🔧 quality +...

Ancient Greek Modes

How did the modes got their names? This short animated video reveals the ancient origins of the modal scale names - who named them and how they evolved through time. Today's modes are nothing like the original ones (which were more theoretical and tuning-focused), but medieval church scholars kept the same names because... well, they sounded cool? More likely, they simply lacked alternatives. By then, the original Greek modal frameworks had fallen out of common use - so they were "free to...
