What This Move Does

It nudges the energy up so gently most of the floor never notices the key changed — the default way to keep a set moving forward. Use it any time; it never draws attention to itself.

In the booth: Moving up Camelot wheel — energy lift. Line the phrases up, bring the new track in over 16–32 bars, and let the key relationship do the rest — 7A and 8A sit close enough on the wheel that nothing clashes.

The wheel below is set to 7A — 8A is one of its highlighted safe moves. Tap any key to explore from there.

Hover or tap any key — the wheel shows the four safe moves out of it. Green is the same key, cyan a ±1 step, violet the major/minor flip, amber a +2 energy lift.

This move works in both directions: 8A → 7A is the -1 step down the wheel — same harmonic ground, opposite effect on the room.
