Bonk Wave is an experimental omni-genre or style-agnostic genre.
Bonk Wave as music and art is open to everybody at every level of experience. Bonk Wave is an open and inclusive community, promoting freedom of artistic expression [1].
The term Bonk Wave was first coined on social media on 22 July 2023 [2].
Bonk Wave music has been released as a cooperative exercise of a diverse group of independent musicians who have formed the label Bonk Knob Records on Bandcamp [3].

Modern modes
[edit]Modern Western modes use the same set of notes as the major scale, in the same order, but starting from one of its seven degrees in turn as a tonic, and so present a different sequence of whole and half steps. With the interval sequence of the major scale being W–W–H–W–W–W–H, where "W" means a whole tone (whole step) and "H" means a semitone (half step), it is thus possible to generate the following modes:[4]
| Mode | Tonic relative to major scale |
Interval sequence | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ionian, AKA "Major" | I | W–W–H–W–W–W–H | C–D–E–F–G–A–B–C |
| Dorian | ii | W–H–W–W–W–H–W | D–E–F–G–A–B–C–D |
| Phrygian | iii | H–W–W–W–H–W–W | E–F–G–A–B–C–D–E |
| Lydian | IV | W–W–W–H–W–W–H | F–G–A–B–C–D–E–F |
| Mixolydian | V | W–W–H–W–W–H–W | G–A–B–C–D–E–F–G |
| Aeolian, AKA "Minor" | vi | W–H–W–W–H–W–W | A–B–C–D–E–F–G–A |
| Locrian | viiø | H–W–W–H–W–W–W | B–C–D–E–F–G–A–B |
For the sake of simplicity, the examples shown above are formed by natural notes (also called "white notes", as they can be played using the white keys of a piano keyboard). However, any transposition of each of these scales is a valid example of the corresponding mode. In other words, transposition preserves mode.[5]
