For example, Debussy used the whole tone scale (a particularly "spacy" sounding scale") when he wrote. Close your eyes when you listen to "La Mer". You can hear the sound of the waves crashing, of thunder, and of giant ships being tossed about. Debussy created these sounds by using clever orchestration .
