Lydian Chromatic Concept Update: new video "The Consonant Nucleus" split-screen Performance and Transcription - Lydian, Lydian Augmented, Lydian Diminished Scales

A new video of me playing my original compositions of the first 3 Lydian Chromatic Concept Scales from my "Seven Vertical Scales" album is now live on YouTube on Chris Bandy's channel! It captures a split-screen where you see me performing the instrumental works from the solo piano album live on my 1924 Steinway "M" on the left, and a note-for-note transcription scrolling on the right.

You can follow along by watching the music notation to get a better idea of these first three scales in the Western Order of Tonal Gravity.

Notation and video produced by Chris Bandy, and original performance live stream concert produced by me for TransMedia Sound and Music, my production company.

The Lydian Scale, The Lydian Augmented Scale, and The Lydian Diminished Scale are part of the nine-tone order called "The Consonant Nucleus" for their chord-producing qualities, which encompass the five fundamental chord categories of Western Music: Major, Minor, Seventh, Augmented and Diminished. These are the first three of a set of songs that explores the Seven Vertical Scales of the Lydian Chromatic Concept of Tonal Organization—a tribute to the Concept’s creator, George Russell. A future video similar to this will feature the remaining four Vertical Scales: The Lydian Flat Seventh, The Lydian Auxilliary Augmented, The Auxiilliary Diminished, and the Auxilliary Diminished Blues Scales.

Here's some info about what you'll see in the playlist, with this new video in the first position:

The Lydian Chromatic Concept of Tonal Organization (LCCOTO) resonates supreme at the epicenter of George Russell's prodigious life work. This innovative band leader, influential composer, legendary educator and philosophically profound master of music devoted 50 years of tireless, purposeful development in forging and generously disseminating his visionary theoretical system. Maestro Russell's singular world-renowned theory reveals an objective, illuminating vista of interrelated and boundless insights into what music is telling us about its own innate nature and reciprocal architectonics.

Andy Wasserman's primary aim is to maintain the integrity, authenticity and purity of George Russell's life's work by dedicating the transmission of its invaluable innovation explicitly as Russell and his wife Alice Norbury Russell intended it to be shared - thereby respecting and honoring his monumental legacy for future generations. Andy Wasserman has been continually active as a teacher of "The Lydian Chromatic Concept of Tonal Organization" since 1982 when he was designated by George Russell as a certified instructor, authorizing him to teach Russell's "Concept" in it's entirety. He was an editorial assistant to Maestro Russell from 1980 until Russell's death in 2009.

Andy offers customized online private lessons to students around the world via video chat, phone and email. Information about Andy Wasserman's authorized Lydian Chromatic Concept private teaching online lessons for students around the world can be found at this link:

This is a unique opportunity to hear the tonal magnetism contained within each of these three Vertical Scales of the Lydian Chromatic Concept of Tonal Organization and what they sound like in a musical setting, from the most ingoing (Lydian - 7 tone) to Semi-Ingoing (Lydian Augmented 8-tone, and Lydian Diminished 9-tone). It is tonal gravity in motion:
