This idea of "Rotations" that you are beginning to talk about, and thus this "Negative Harmony" concept by Jacob Collier, sounds like my concept of "Treble-Down Tonality". If Jacob Collier only came up with this in the last five years, that means I've already beaten both of you to the punch as I was working with this concept as early as 2013. I've even gone so far as to label each of the Treble-Down diatonic modes, and I've noticed that these are none other than the original Ancient Greek modes. --Aura (talk) 05:27, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

Trust me, if you and Jacob think you have this realm of Treble-Down Tonality figured out, think again. Now that I'm learning microtonality, I have a lot more tricks up my sleeve than I did in 2013, and I'm more than willing to show them off. --Aura (talk) 05:48, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

The basic idea goes way back. Didn't Harry Partch talk about how a minor triad was an upside down major triad, with the old root becoming the new 5th? IIRC he actually went further and said the 5th *was* the root. My contribution is to show how the fretboard shapes on the Kite Guitar rotate 180 degrees. As they would on any isomorphic fretboard or keyboard. The lattice shapes also rotate, but someone else must have noticed that before. I do like your term Treble-Down Tonality. Please do share any tricks you have! --TallKite (talk) 08:04, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
