IV – V – I – vi progression in A# major
A# Unresolved Cycle — IV – V – I – vi
The A# IV–V–I–vi progression (D# – F – A# – Gm) creates a hypnotic, cyclical feel by ending on the minor vi chord instead of resolving to the tonic. With extended voicings (D#Maj7 – F7 – A#Maj7 – Gm7), the unresolved quality becomes even more dreamy.
