I think there may be a small confusion in the terms you heard. The numbers 420 or 430 are not “modes” of a song or album. They usually refer to tuning frequency (A tuning), not musical mode. Let me clarify:
1. Standard tuning for most songs
A = 440 Hz
This is the international standard tuning used in almost all modern recordings.
2. Alternative tunings people talk about
Some musicians tune slightly differently:
A = 432 Hz
Sometimes used for “softer” or “natural” tuning.
Some people claim it sounds more relaxing.
A ≈ 430–438 Hz
Used sometimes in classical orchestras or historically informed performances.
Not a musical “mode,” just a slightly different tuning reference.
3. What “mode” actually means in music
Mode refers to scale type, such as:
Ionian (major)
Dorian
Phrygian
Lydian
Mixolydian
Aeolian (natural minor)
Locrian
These are scale structures, not frequency numbers.
So your numbers likely mean:
420 / 430 → tuning frequency (Hz)
Mode → scale type (major, minor, dorian, etc.)
✔ Most albums are recorded at A=440 Hz.
If you want, tell me which song or album you mean by “Aong”.
I can check the exact key, tuning, and mode used in that recording.
