About this ebook
The principle of this book is not passing theoretical interest, but an effective guide to musical life and how non-diatonic synthetic scale formations can be expanded to the fullest extent. Over the years, I had been asked to write my two-octave and multi-octave synthetic scales book in conjunction with my "The Complete Thesaurus of Musical Scales." This work will lay out the structural guidelines of the synthetic scales and give some examples of how the derived lines can be used in a jazz context. This book is sending out my strong message that seemingly useless scales, listed in "The Complete Thesaurus of Musical Scales," can be injected readily into regular scale usages by building them with octave displacement of synthetic formations. Explore synthetic scale formations by finding your own formulae. Good luck!
About the author
Masaya Yamaguchi is not only a musician but also a conceptualist who established his own system to explore the imaginative formation of musical scales by The Complete Thesaurus of Musical Scales, which is a meta-contribution to music pedagogy of a high standard. Jazz Education Journal wrote, "Its worth mentioning that this book comprehensively covers all theoretical possibilities in constructing scales July-August 2002." The concept is revealed in many of his writings and compositions. Because of the reference value of his outstanding achievements, Marquis Whos Who has selected his biographical profile for inclusion in Whos Who in America, Whos Who in the World and Who's Who of Emerging Leaders.
