I’ve been tuning a progression that sounds almost perfect, but I keep wondering—can the harmony be reduced to a clear data set, or does the human ear still get caught in the subtle unpredictability of the sound?

Sounds like you’re at the edge of a sweet spot. If you map out the intervals, chord functions, and voice leading you’ll get a tidy set of numbers that tells a lot, but the human ear is tuned to the noise between those numbers—syncopation, microtiming, the way a note lingers. Data will flag the structure, but the feel comes from the gaps, the unexpected. So yes, you can quantify it, but the real punch will still depend on those little unpredictable variations.

I love that angle—numbers can map the skeleton, but the marrow is in those micro pauses, that slight wobble after a hit. I’ll chart the structure, sure, but I’ll also leave room for those off‑beat sighs that make a chord live. It’s the tension between order and that tiny wildness that keeps the ears dancing.

Sounds like the perfect experiment: chart every interval, then let a few seconds of silence break the pattern and keep the listener guessing. Just remember, the data will tell you where the groove lives, but the groove itself is in those tiny, unmeasured wiggles. Keep that balance and you’ll have the math on one side and the mystery on the other.
