CHIME TUNINGS-WHOLE TONE
Claude Debussy, inspired by Balinese music at the 1896 Paris Exposition,
began composing with this atonal scale, used for example in his piece "La Mer".
Later, television's original Star Trek used it in the "beaming up" sequences. TV
and film scores frequently feature it for underwater scenes, dream and
"flashback" sequences.

Whole Tone scale in various chime sizes:
