RE: Friday Music at Five Episode #1: ATTENTION (PRELUDE AND FUGUE IN F#) - Keyboard Improvisation | AsteriskedMusic.Com
Well, since art is anything which is meant to be experienced for its own sake, it should not require secondary explanation. I'm glad you enjoyed it. You don't really have to understand the mechanics of it, although I'd be happy to answer your questions about that. The mixolidian scale is similar to the major scale, except that the seventh scale degree is lowered by a half tone. The octatonic scale simply consists of alternating halftones and full tones (resulting in 8 scale degrees, rather than 7, ergo "octa-tonic").
None of that is crucial to understand if you just want to listen to it. I actually started writing about my music simply for SEO purposes; search engines prefer to see posts with 300 words or more. So, I write about my music to give my posts better odds of performing well in the search ratings. That being said, as it turns out, a lot of people like reading about the theory, and I think that's great.
