  1. Ambivalence on Chords To 1300 Songs Analyzed Statistically For Patterns · · Score: 1

    I think charting the path to tonal ambivalence in pop music might be helpful!

    V - I - V - I etc
    to the
    I - vi - IV - V
    to the
    I - iii - vi - ii - V - I
    and the Most Ambivalent
    bVI - bVII - I !
    etc.

    I'd like to see a visual representation of songs over time and their "distance" from the I - V polarity,
    a.k.a. how "concealed" the swing of the I - V pendulum is,
    a.k.a. if we are trying to eschew that duality in pop music.
