In this episode, Frank challenges the common advice of “just modulate” when composers feel stuck inside a scale. True freedom doesn’t come from changing scales but from changing perspective. By using equal interval structures and moving them chromatically, composers can step outside traditional scale boundaries while maintaining clarity and coherence. Thinking in interval relationships rather than scale containers opens the door to greater creative control and expressive freedom.
