F2 Low Pygmy
Deep Pulse and Earthy Vibrations
The F2 Low Pygmy scale is an exceptionally bass variant of the classic Low Pygmy, characterized by full, resonating sound and low frequencies that give the music an organic, almost primitive character. Its notes flow smoothly between each other, creating a hypnotizing, rhythmic pulse, perfect for improvisation based on layered, percussive structures.
Thanks to its construction, this scale brings powerful depth and warmth, making the sounds literally vibrate in the body, especially when the instrument is played with stronger accent. Its dark, ethnic sound makes it blend perfectly with other percussion instruments, while also being able to fill the sound space on its own. This is an excellent choice for musicians seeking trance-like, meditative energy and a strong sonic foundation in the low register.
F#2 Nordlys
Arctic Space and Hypnotic Light
The Nordlys scale, whose name means "northern lights" in Norwegian, was created by Amarok and Manik Handpans producer.
The arrangement of notes in this scale combines depth and brightness, creating a spatial, organic sound. One can freely follow the creator's interpretation of this scale, evoking images of winter sky illuminated by the northern lights - a combination of subtlety, reflectiveness, and spatial resonance.
This scale works excellently in film music, ambient, meditative, and improvised music, opening up vast possibilities of expression for the musician. It can wrap in warmth, building peaceful soundscapes, or transport to more dramatic, mysterious realms – like the infinitely changing light in the arctic sky.
