Guided tour

A short walk through the language, one idea at a time — from a single good/bad chord to a whole sentence.

FIG. 1GUIDED TOURstop 1 / 7

Two chords, one apart

Every sound in Eridian is a chord, not a single note. A content word is a triad — three pure tones struck together — and the shape of that chord is the word.

The first two words to learn are good and bad. They sit one scale degree apart, the smallest possible move: a language where the difference between right and wrong is a single step up the scale. Play them back to back and listen for it.

two chords, one apart

A linear walk through the starter language. Each stop introduces a word or two — play the chords, then hear them in a full sentence. Nothing here is saved; wander freely, or jump into the dictionary and composer.
