Harmony Lab

Magnetism Harmony Field

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

Page goal

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.

  • 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.

    How to explore the harmony field

    Listen to the force of the route

    The graph combines sonic proximity with tonal function: short routes favor common tones, while wider routes reveal dominants, borrowed harmony, and substitutions.

    Suggested workflow

    • Choose a starting key, chord, or chord/scale.
    • Select a destination and trace the proposed route.
    • Play the journey, compare graph layers, then export the useful result.
