i'm wrong about it being a tritone, incidentally!!! but yeah, the idea is that the basic spins produce something that sounds like a dom7 chord, and it resolves to the chord you hear in the bonus round. the bonus round "summary" noise is a dom7 chord that resolves to the tones from normal gameplay. my hope was that i could motivate people to mash to resolve the tension by getting a bonus round
