This isn’t meant to provide an introduction to negative harmony (there are already great resources on that), but instead to provide a reference chart for composers trying to incorporate negative harmonic concepts into their music Negative Harmony is the process of taking a predetermined musical engine, the most prominent being the chord, and inverting, or mirroring it, on an axis of our own. Negative Harmony is a musical concept that is based on the work of Swiss composer and theorist Ernst Levy. chosen is the bottom of the phone Mind you that the negative harmony approach must not be confused with simply mirroring or inverting the intervals around a given axis – which destroys the chord’s contextual function. In the phone example, the mirror is literally the mirror, and the axis that we have. The first melody note of ATTYA is Ab, which gives us Eb (or D#). Next one is Db, which gives us Bb (or A#), and so on He wrote about the idea of polarity in his book A Theory of Harmonythat came out in, but never really gained a lot of traction in the mainstream until musician Jacob Collier repopularized it inSee more The basic concept of negative harmony is to create the combination of simultaneously sounded musical notes by using the opposite polarity around the axis of symmetry Negative Harmony: Experiments with the Polarity in MusicAbstract I set out to experiment and justify the use of a new theory called Negative Harmony inst century This project uses Negative Harmony as a basis and reference point for producing original songs in the style of instrumental jazz and funk. determining.

Negative harmony is a loose term that In this video we see what happens when we apply Negative Harmony to modes. Inversion map for ATTYA.
