Piano, synth, and keys

On Love Music More, Luke keeps testing what a key actually does: in Do Keys Feel Different? he argues chords are relational (melody survives transposition) and absolute (each key carries its own frequency and cultural weight); Navigating Fulfilling Chords and How Notes Take Shape: Inversions and Harmony push the same question through voicing. The essay It's the Circle of Fifths lays out the theory underneath.

Every place piano, synth, and keys turns up across Luke F. Walton's work: 78 songs, 56 episodes, 8 more.
