♯4 Motif: Lydian → Ionian → Aeolian
Compose a progressive rock track that moves through Lydian → Ionian → Aeolian sections. Tempo 100 BPM, time signatures: 4/4 for Lydian and Ionian, 7/8 for the Aeolian bridge. Instruments: lush synth pad, clean arpeggiated electric guitar, distorted rhythm guitar, fretless bass, dynamic drum kit, lead synth or sax for solos. Mood: bright and exploratory in Lydian, anthemic in Ionian, dark and driving in Aeolian. Use a recurring 3‑note motif that highlights the Lydian ♯4, resolve it in Ionian, then reharmonize it in Aeolian. Build to a climactic return that blends Lydian color with Aeolian weight. Mix: wide stereo pads, punchy drums, tape saturation on guitars.
