User reviews

Wrong

There is no such term as negative harmony. You got the term wrong. It’s inversional harmony. It's just inverting the ratios of the intervals fitting it to the octave. You clearly got caught with Jacob Collier misquoting the actual theory. And by the way, Jacob Collier is an self promoting moron.

Terrible

It’s not negative harmony. You do realize Jacob Collier miss quoted the term. Amazing how everyone latched onto it. You need to go back and read up on your music theory. This is absolute rubbish.
