Harmony Lab

Magnetism Harmony Field

A functional harmony map where tonal gravity, tendency tones, common tones, and voice-leading distance shape the journey.

Trace the forces between harmonies

Understand why one chord attracts another

The goal is to make harmonic movement visible and audible: connect two colors, understand the forces drawing them together, and find playable routes for composing, improvising, or arranging.

Choose the harmonic colors to connect

  1. Choose a field, function, or voice view and select whether the route uses curated or universe key-scale material.
  2. Set the start and target key-scales, then use a journey preset or add waypoints to state the harmonic route.
  3. Trace or play the route, then compare the roles, distance, and chromatic pressure shown by the result.

Read the graph
  • A node is a harmony.
  • Color identifies harmonic function: tonic, predominant, dominant, borrowed, or chromatic.
  • A link is a possible harmonic movement.
  • Distance suggests harmonic and voice-leading proximity.
  • A thicker link means stronger attraction.
  • The route is a suggested harmonic path between start and destination.
  • Field shows global gravity; Function emphasizes syntax; Voice favors stepwise motion.

    From tonal gravity to a playable progression

    Select the starting harmony

    Magnetism models movement between key-scales and harmonic roles. The chosen layer determines which relationship the field emphasizes.

    Read attraction and voice leading

    A path is musically useful when its waypoints explain why the next key-scale feels related, distant, predominant, dominant, borrowed, or chromatic.

    Compare two paths between the same harmonies

    • Choose a field, function, or voice view and select whether the route uses curated or universe key-scale material.
    • Set the start and target key-scales, then use a journey preset or add waypoints to state the harmonic route.
    • Trace or play the route, then compare the roles, distance, and chromatic pressure shown by the result.
