Answer: Scale illusion

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale illusion is the combination of two unconnected notes into a single Melody,the notes being combined are planned do not create a scale but yet they come beautiful when played into both ears of the listener.

Dr Derek experiment proves that although the combined notes didn't produce a scale doesn't mean they can't produce beautiful melodic sounds.
