At the onset of this research, we were looking for a 'Map of Music Harmony'. This system was found to involve precisely 17 Spectrums and their 119 Modes. The underlying spatial relationship allowed for such a map of harmony to be obtained. The map shows the pathways of key-change (modulation); it also shows the ability to combine modes to create scales containing more than 7 notes, such as in the Flamenco Scale, which contains 8 notes by blending two modes: |

An excerpt from the Map of Harmony shows the two modes which make up the Flamenco Scale, coming together at 100%, precisely at Indigo: one of the map's 12 positions. |

The results of the system are projected to the musician on their instrument of choice. The blended modes are accounted for by the use of gray notes. A guitarist can play along with the E Flamenco Scale below, set to their own rhythm, while following the graph. |
