Nothing moves when divided into equal parts. Things are divided slightly ‘off the center cut’ in nature and in art... so that each part may experience - or be experienced as a 'difference' in relation to its whole... so that each part may move and grow as a whole unto itself. This natural phenomenon can be expressed in mathematics and may be seen and heard everywhere in the natural world. It is beautiful and fearful symmetry. I try to touch it often... but I've learned that only intelligent fools try to hold it down with their finger or put it under their thumb...   --Ben Higgins
     This website is a reflection of my interest in music over many years. Ideas are presented on 'Abstract' Harmonic Theory, 'Traditional' Diatonic Harmony, and Rhythmic Theory. -- I also use the site as a reference utility for projects related to personal practice, study, general creativity, and teaching.
