Did you know that the mirror image of Ionian is Phrygian and that the G major key is brighter than the C major key? What causes gravitational Pull and what is the consequence? And what about the Dorian Brightness Quotient or short the DBQ? Ever heard of negative harmony? A concept by Ernst Levi and adopted by Jacob Collier who mad lot’s of video about negative harmony.
