From "memorization" to "geometry" in music theory. A new compass that visualizes the gravity of sound.
Why Circle?
Music is in a cycle. The octave's identity, the circle of fifths' eternal return. The circular structure conceals the "gravitational relationship" between notes, which is not apparent in the linear arrangement of keys. Harmonic Orbit places the circle at its center, expressing the harmony of music in the most natural way.
What is Atlas?
An atlas is a guide for navigating the vast ocean of music theory. It's not just a glossary, but a "map of knowledge" that visualizes concepts and their relationships. It serves as a compass to guide fragmented knowledge towards a systematic understanding.
