Jazzometry - The 3D Geometric Truth of Functional Harmony

Geometric truth in music - A 3-dimensional representation of the basic structures of functional harmony. How music hangs together and how we see sound and hear geometry! Inspired by John Coltrane's drawing from half a century ago... Please feel free to engage in discussion about this in the comments!!!  That's why I posted this... 

This model forms half of the system, presenting only six of the twelve key centres. For the remaining 6 we must invert the whole-tone elements so that C# whole-tone is the inner hexagon and C whole-tone is the outer hexagon. I'm pretty sure the whole shape acts as a torus in geometric law, whereby the augmented triads can switch places by twisting through the centre-point of the graphic at 7.42. I don't have the graphic software, or the skills to make this happen!! If you do please get in touch!! Love to you all. Neil Yates x.

The music is from a forthcoming project "About 86 Miles" - Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5bcI7QktM8

The "Yatesey Cube" 3D moveable CG graphic was created using the fantastic "3DCreationist" app available from Google Play.
