I'd love to share my metaharmony story with you
Let's start with a timeline:
It seems there's 5 chapters to this journey so far:
After finishing the harmony modules of my music degree
I discovered the work of Barry Harris and I developed this sense that all harmony was connected
And by playing different harmonic movements and changing keys we are traversing a physical landscape
“What does this landscape look like?”
Seeking the answer to this question was very dreamlike
And after about 20 months of research and a few conversations with friends,
the meta prism and colour wheel were complete
During these 20 months I became unwell and took roughly a year to recover my health.
With the help of my friend Charlie, we organised my ideas
and coined the term metaharmony
What am I going to do with this? I need to share it with the world."
I started a YouTube channel
This was a productive time of learning how to produce content,
explore and communicate metaharmony
Metaharmony is not just an idea, but a tool to be used
and in this season I grew in how to harness its creative potential.
This is a delicate and personal moment, let me try and explain...
During this time of YouTube development, I had become rather obsessed with the idea of ‘succeeding’
making meta harmony into an online business and conquering the world with it
But in April 2023, I picked up a leaflet that had the Lord’s prayer on it
and it stired my spirit.
I thought,
“What if God is listening, and I pray this prayer and He actually responds
what might happen?”
I started earnestly praying this simple prayer everyday
focusing to really mean each line
and started developing a sense of God’s presence
but in these moments I felt God wasn’t happy with some of things in my life
I was convicted.
After a few months of squirming under this feeling I finally said,
“God, I’m ready”
And that weekend God led me in making some changes in my life
which involved destroying all the work I had done over the last 5-6 years
the YouTube was permanently deleted
all my back up files wiped
and my laptop was in a binbag with a pint of water.
(laptop baptism…)
After this complete surrender I felt inner healing like I never knew was possible
hard compacted pain and pride melted into joy and peace.
The next day I received a vision of a tiny plant sprouting out of the ashes
I knew meta harmony would rise again
The next 18 months were a time of rest and spiritual growth
I joined a church where I met my friend Sam who I told my story to and he said,
“I’ve got a laptop in my cupboard and I haven’t sold it
because I sensed that God wanted me to give it to someone
I feel that you are that person”
So here we are at the beginning of 2025
and I am using said Laptop to create this website
It seems the little metaharmony plant is growing.
It’s an absolute joy to continue working on metaharmony,
but nothing it can offer compares to the promise of Jesus:
Eternal life with him
I would encourage everyone to investigate the claims of Jesus in the Bible
(By reading the book of John for example)
and put thier faith in him.
Doing this will give you two things:
1. The promise of eternal life
2. The journey of sanctification in this life:
where we get moulded by God over time to be more full of his love and truth
This then overflows into into every area of your life over time
To my knowledge, I can’t tell you of anything better in all of life
I believe it has potential to be a fruitful tool for the right type of musician,
So do stay tuned if you're interested
Many thanks,
Tom
