Solar Tones is a system of tone generation based on the position of the planets in the solar system for any given month. The tonal or key centers were derived from the open strings of the guitar. Background The guitar is constructed in such a way that the intervals occur chromatically ascending and descending. I've drawn the parallel between the construction of the guitar and the structure of our solar system. Planetary order Sun Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto This system assigns an interval to each planet in the solar system, and additionally depending on their positions in the solar system, I have a different set of tones each month to use as a composition frame work. Planets and their equivalent interval order Sun -> Open Mercury -> mi2 Venus -> Ma2 Earth -> mi3 Mars -> Ma3 Belt of Asteroids -> P4 & aug4 Jupiter -> P5 Saturn -> mi6 Uranus -> Ma6 Neptune -> mi7 Pluto -> Ma7 The role of planetary as
