A 'tritone' is the name for the musical interval between two pitches an augmented 4th/Diminshed 5th apart. The term 'tritone' comes from the fact that the interval between the two pitches is a full three "whole tones" apart. The use of the tritone is common in classical music where the V-I resolution is present, as well as in Jazz and Rock whenever a piece or section is in the lydian mode. The interval has a very unstable characterisic and was even known as the 'devil's interval' at one period in music history.
Tritones can be heard in the following examples:
-Bass riff of "Jerry Was A Racecar Driver" by Primus
-The first two notes of "Maria" from West Side Story ("ma - ree")
-Opening intervals on "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix
-Opening two notes of the "The Simpsons" theme

Triston is the kind of guy every girl wants, that's including being tall, handsome and intelligent. He is passionate about his hobbies, family, and friends. And sometimes looses himself to that same passion. If you put him on a project he'll undoubtably work throughout the night to complete it.

He's a good friend and always ready to be there for those he cares about. But underneath his strong exterior he is a romantic who believes in love and soulmates. Even with all his wonderful qulities he is shy and awkward, but in the cutest way. You'll have to be straightforward as sarcasm is not his forte and he's horrible at picking up up on flirting.
Though stubborn and kind of a pervert, he is a wonderful person to have in your life. If you find one, hold onto him, because he will never see the goodness in himself.

Don't understand it but they're normally into blondes if they aren't already blonde themselves.
I'm really happy to have a friend like Triston in my life.

An astounding best friend that is always there to listen and encourage whenever you need it. Also the best boyfriend you will ever have no matter how much they deny it. He’s adorable and as kind as you can get. An absolute angel. If you let a Triston out of your life you will always regret it. They are perfect.
Person 1: Who’s your perfect boyfriend?
Person 2: The boyfriend I already have, Triston.

The Tristonians believe in many ancient mythological Tristonian stories that explains how the world came to be. The stories while not proven entirely true, do have many pieces of evidence that leads to most of these stories being somewhat, or very accurate.

A Triston is very striking and will be the first person you notice in a crowd. A Triston has aggressive and intimidating eyes. Tristons normally try to act like they arent phased by anything but on the inside Tristons are all emotional messes. They tend to get very angry when they get sad and will lash out at anyone who tries to converse with them. Tristons are normally negative people but they will do anything for the ones they love. They prefer to be alone than in a crowd. They arent afraid to be alone if its to get away from fake/weak people. They look at things much differently than other but Tristons will always put you before themselves and will have your back in any fight or hardship until the end. If you find a Triston hold on to them but if you have ever done them wrong or they tell you they dont fuck with you, keep your distance
That dude Triston doesnt talk to anyone.
