How to harmonize a C Scale -> Quartal -> Mirror Harmony -> Right Chords?major scale in fourths and then apply negative/mirror harmony

I am by no means a music theory buff, nor do I have musical talent, so being unable to assure myself if I did this correctly, I needed someone to correct my mistakesrecently tried using quartal harmony and mirror harmony (also known as "negative harmony") together.

Thank God, I don't play music in anyone's presence (Usually) so if this idea reeks with inability and such... no loss. The pieces of theory, actually, pieces, are Quartal harmony, and Mirror harmony used together.

I took the CC major scale, harmonized iteach scale degree diatonically in 4ths, and then mirrored it. If I may, harmonized the chords, and this is what I get. The end result sounds very jazzy, if (though I may say that, havinghave no idea what jazz is).

How to harmonize a C major scale in fourths and then apply negative/mirror harmony

I recently tried using quartal harmony and mirror harmony (also known as "negative harmony") together. I was looking for some music theory that would inspire me to do something more unusual than I usually do.

I took the C major scale, harmonized each scale degree diatonically in 4ths, and then mirrored it. If I may, the end result sounds very jazzy (though I have no idea what jazz is).

Here is the scale, harmonized and then mirrored. I acquired the chord names using software.

Mirror Harmony Quartal C Major

Two notes about notation: in the chord names, the "s" stands for suspended and the "M" stands for major, as in D♭Maj7♭5sus. The "p" and "a" between notes in the harmonizations stand for perfect fourth and augmented fourth, respectively.

Is my resultant chord progression correct? Is this the correct way to harmonize a C major scale with quartal voicings and then apply the mirror harmony?

I suspect there is an error because the final progression has two pairs of chords with the same root notes, D♭ and G♭. That seems strange to me. Could anyone point out if I made a mistake? I am by no means a music theory buff, nor do I have musical talent.
