bird of paradise
[ (E) G# A B C# D# E F# B ]
A joyful and uplifting scale based on the tonality of E MAJOR. When played independently this scale has the flavour of a minor one. Introspective and relaxing, but as soon as the ding sounds it shows all its major shades.
The interval between the last two notes, respectively the second degree and the perfect fifth, gives the scale an airy feeling that reminds of the flight of a bird.
BIRD OF PARADISE means optimism, freedom, ability to travel and, of course, paradise on earth.

dahlia
[ (E) A B C D# E F# G B ]
​​​​
​​
Based on the E HAMONIC MINOR, this scale is warm and perturbing. Very similar to the HIJAZ, commonly found in Middle Eastern music, DAHLIA has the same notes as a natural E MINOR, except the seventh degree which is raised by one semitone. The result is an augmented second between the sixth and the seventh degree that gives DAHLIA further strength, change and mystery.

orchid
[ (F) A C D E F G B C ]
Magical and uncanny, this scale is a F LYDIAN that jumps to the third major grade.
The tritone makes this scale mysterious, but still joyful, since the lydian mode is a major scale with the fourth degree raised half step, making an augmented fourth. The ORCHID, symbol of toughfulness and beauty, perfectly represents this delicate yet harsh scale.
