Inspired by the Phrygian mode, one of the seven diatonic modes in Western music theory. It is characterized by its distinctive half-step (minor second) interval between the first and second notes of the scale.
The Phrygian mode has a distinct and exotic sound, often described as dark, dramatic, or even mysterious. It’s frequently used in various musical genres, including flamenco, metal, and jazz, to create tension and add color to compositions.
