‘The Sound of Silence’ Mirrored Into Negative Harmony

Musician Steve Cruickshank has transposed the classic Simon and Garfunkel song “The Sound of Silence” into its negative harmony mirror, making the D Minor song sound even sadder than it actually is.

Cruickshank also mirrored the Depeche Mode song “Enjoy the Silence” (Am), “Africa” by Toto (A Major) and the iconic Louis Armstrong song “What a Wonderful World” (F Major) with their respective negative harmonies.

Music Theory for Guitar provides an excellent explanation of negative harmony in very understandable terms.
