ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Chromatic mediant

Chromatic mediant is a way to add interest to a song or piece of music. It means that instead of going up or down by the same number of notes, you go up or down by a different number. For example, instead of going up one note, you can go up two notes, or instead of going down three notes, you can go down four. This can give your music a different sound and can make it more interesting to listen to.
