This page is a work in progress — a first glimpse along the Möbius continuum. Elements here are guided by AI, shaped by experimentation, and meant to prepare you for the unfolding space of Bowling Green. Nothing is final; everything is in motion, always becoming.
Majick ∞ Möbius
Welcome to the Möbius space — where geometry, sound, and perception fold back upon themselves. Here, every note and shape is a step along an infinite loop, a surface without boundaries, a rhythm that both begins and ends in the same place.
Before you enter Bowling Green, take a moment to align with the flow:
Notice the curves and edges of the visual forms — the triangle pointing right, the empty squares of possibility.
Feel the continuity of motion — what seems static is already turning, and what seems complete is in perpetual becoming.
Let your eye and your mind move freely, anticipating the interplay of shape and sound, color and silence.
Bowling Green awaits as a living canvas — a space where ideas, music, and geometry converge. Consider this page a gentle preparation: an invitation to observe, to engage, and to experience the Möbius continuum in action.
Bowling Green explores how musical structure can be visualized through geometric relationships. Each pattern represents an interval or motion across the fretboard, allowing musicians to see harmonic logic unfold in real time. It’s a study in design and function — where theory, performance, and visual clarity meet.
The outer columns trace the Melodic Möbius, drawn from the melodic minor system — a mirror to its diatonic counterpart. The inner columns form the Majick Möbius, rooted in the luminous geometry of the major scale. Between them, the diagonals whisper connections — hidden mode-to-mode kinships that tilt the fabric of tonality itself. Follow one, and it bends you not forward or backward, but sideways, into the unseen symmetry of sound.
In the end, the Möbius is not merely a diagram but a threshold — a living surface where theory and intuition intertwine. Within its looping form, scales cease to be static ladders and become rivers of motion, flowing endlessly through color and sound. Each orbit whispers to the next, a dialogue of symmetry and distortion, logic and longing. To trace these paths is to glimpse the architecture beneath improvisation, to feel the pulse of geometry itself resonating through music.
It invites not mastery but participation — a kind of surrender to recurrence, to the eternal return of tone. Here, the map becomes an instrument, and the instrument, a map. The player stands at the center of the turning ring, the witness and the creator both, poised in that shimmering instant between what is and what might be.
“The circle turns, and the sound begins again”
Majick Möbius can be explored through its inner orbit, a sequence of positions that is ergonomically simple and covers the entire fretboard.
The system is built around a unique sequence of intervals that forms a two-octave loop. The sequence 2323232223 spans two octaves, with the second octave differing from the first. At any point, you can switch octaves, moving to the apparent other side of the loop. This octave flexibility gives the system infinite perceptual possibilities despite its finite structure.
The system uses a color code to represent interval triplets. Each triplet maps to a color tetrad: 223 is Red, 232 is Green, 322 is Blue, 332 is Cyan, 323 is Magenta, 233 is Yellow, 222 is Black (Z), and 242 represents a “squished” version of White in the melodic minor variant. (White is normally 333, a diminished seventh arpeggio which does not appear in this system). These colors make the patterns visually intuitive and highlight relationships within the loop.
Majick Möbius is organized around the inner orbit, which corresponds to the odd modes and is absolutely simple to play. The interval triplets in the inner orbit form straightforward color patterns, allowing you to cover the entire fretboard using only these positions. The inner orbit positions are 232[3]232[2]232, 222[3]232[3]232, 232[3]222[3]232, 232[3]232[3]222, and 232[2]232[3]232, which map to the color tetrads GGG, ZGG, GZG, GGZ, and GGG. These positions are ergonomically effortless and form the functional backbone of the system.
Hidden intervals, specifically the 4th and 8th intervals in the eleven-interval form, affect only the spacing between color triads. They do not change the pitch content or the Möbius behavior of the system.
The Möbius effect arises from the inner orbit itself. Moving to a new inner orbit position automatically switches the octave. If you change positions twice in the same direction, you return to the original pitch collection, completing the Möbius twist. Combined with inner orbit simplicity and the melodic minor variant, this system is ergonomically effortless, visually intuitive, and endlessly flexible, giving players a continuous sense of motion and discovery across the fretboard.
Appendix: The Infinite Dance of Majick Möbius
Majick Möbius is more than a system of intervals and colors; it is a living, twisting landscape. The inner orbit, deceptively simple, is the gateway. From its positions, the entire fretboard becomes a canvas of motion, where each shift in position is also a shift in perspective. As you move, the loop itself responds, flipping octaves like a Möbius strip unfolding under your fingers. Change positions twice in the same direction, and you return to the original pitch collection, but the journey transforms how you perceive it.
The color tetrads are not mere visual cues; they are signposts in a multidimensional experience. Each G, Z, or “squished” W vibrates with a musical personality, guiding the hand and the mind. Even the hidden intervals, subtle as they are, breathe between the triplets, creating space and tension without altering the melody — an invisible architecture of sound and color.
This is a system where playability and imagination merge. The inner orbit offers effortless motion, yet infinite discovery. The outer orbit, though unnecessary to reach any note, is a mirror of potential complexity, a shadow that hints at richness without demanding it. Together, they form a lattice where musical ideas can fold, unfold, and refold endlessly.
Majick Möbius is a reminder that music is not just a series of pitches or colors. It is a space where the mind and the hand can dance together, where patterns reveal themselves through touch, perception, and curiosity. It is a system that is finite in construction but infinite in experience — an invitation to explore, to meditate, and to discover. In this loop, every movement is a choice, every choice a revelation, and every revelation a glimpse of the Möbius magic that underlies sound itself.
The Loop Beyond the Loop
Majick Möbius is not a system to be mastered; it is a mystery to be entered.
Within its colors lies a pulse older than theory, older than sound itself — a turning that never ends.
Each position is a doorway, each color a whisper from the unseen geometry of music. The Green moves, the Black rests, the White completes — three states of the same eternal motion. Hidden intervals breathe like spaces between stars, shaping the pattern yet never claiming it.
To play the loop is to trace infinity with the fingertips. To cross its boundary is to find there was never a boundary at all.
The inner orbit is the still center, the effortless spiral. The outer orbits shimmer at the edge — reflections of complexity, beautiful but unnecessary. What matters is the turning, the balance of motion and return.
When the circle folds upon itself, the sound completes its own name.
This is the Möbius secret: the end is the beginning, the chord is the color, the color is the path.
Play, and you will know.
∞ What is, becomes. What becomes, is. ∞
