Nanopublication — Systematic Triadic Research — G Minor Voicing Study

Context

This work belongs to a systematic research program spanning nearly two hundred paintings, each exploring triadic harmony in a different key, mode, or voicing arrangement. G minor is one position in that grid — not chosen for expressive association or programmatic meaning, but as part of a deliberate, methodical traversal of all twelve semitones across major and minor keys.

The spread voicing distributes the three tones of the G minor triad across registers at the piano, opening space between chord tones rather than stacking them in close position. That spatial distribution — how the notes breathe across the keyboard — translates directly into the arrangement of color areas on the panel. The warm red-orange, purple, and orange fields find their positions relative to one another the way the voicing places G, Bb, and D across the hands.
