Been thinking about the lydian chromatic concept lately and how the next tone after sharp 4, a perfect fifth away that is, comes flat 2, or rather sharp 1. If you treat the new tone as replacing the original root, F lydian becomes F# locrian. Otherwise, you have F lydian with a split 2nd degree (flat 2 and natural 2), which has some neat bebop implications, in a way tonicizing the ii (or II) chord.

@arendleejessurun@musicians.today Surprisingly for someone into jazz and esoteric harmonic theories, I’ve never even read Russell’s Lydian Chromatic Concept.

@arendleejessurun@musicians.today Metaharmony picks up on what is called the diminished square, the lydian sharp fourth would be root of the second rotation of the Orange hypercube at C, ay. C D# F# A forms the yellow diminished square and the Orange hypercube is the interface between the Yellow and Red diminished squares.
