What It Is
All twelve pitch classes, each a half step from the next. Notes: C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B.
How It Functions
Contains every note available in 12-tone equal temperament; not tied to any one key.
Mood & Character
Restless on its own - with no tonic to resolve to, it doesn't have a mood of its own so much as it borrows tension from whatever scale it's passing through.
