Harmolodics

Harmolodics is a musical philosophy developed by jazz musician Ornette Coleman that emphasizes the equal importance of melody, harmony, and rhythm. Instead of traditional hierarchies where chords support melodies, harmolodics encourages independent improvisation, allowing musicians to interact more freely and expressively. It promotes a sense of balance and unity among different musical elements, creating a more open and spontaneous sound. By prioritizing emotional expression and collective interplay, harmolodics challenges conventional structured music, fostering innovation and a deeper connection among performers and listeners.
