After 25 years spent dissecting the science of sound, the creator behind DEFNOX is proposing nothing wanting a rewrite of music’s DNA. His discoveries stretch far past conventional concept, revealing a binary relationship between the human thoughts and actuality itself, and unlocking an “Omega Key” of harmonics that might change how music is written, taught, and skilled. On this interview, he explains how these revelations may start new devices, genres, and compositional strategies, and why the trade’s cussed reliance on secure formulation is holding it again. From futuristic “In poor health-Tech” collaborations and odd-bar buildings that really feel as pure as 4×4 beats to plans for a world Music Science tour, he lays out a radical imaginative and prescient for music’s future; one the place artwork and science collide to propel us into a brand new inventive period.
Q: After 25 years immersed in music science, what would you say is the only most groundbreaking discovery you’ve made that challenges how we at the moment perceive music?
A: I had theorized that I might have the ability to use the DEFNOX to make music after I invented it, however found quickly after that, that the electrical energy it makes use of to trigger a voice, additionally naturally shimmers its personal ‘8 key set’ of harmonics. Nevertheless, that’s not the groundbreaker- the massive discovery is that Actuality- or ‘Power’ on this case- parallel to the electrical energy being noticed as a nature in it’s auditory state; Actuality itself isn’t solely a magnetic Binary code, however the human thoughts has a binary relationship to actuality, as a result of the human thoughts acknowledges all 8 harmonic keys electrical energy makes use of to create a voice within the DEFNOX. (They’re the keys of A, B, and all of the black keys on our present Pythagorean, but in addition produce an additional discernable key coined as ‘the Omega Key’). One other manner of that is Netwon’s Regulation of Gravity for instance; the rationale we all know gravity exists is as a result of actuality presents it to us, and due to this fact we replicate actuality by being the ‘1’ to Actuality’s ‘0’- we all know as a result of it’s proven. AND, as a result of the thoughts seems to additionally suppose in binary, we all know that actuality and the thoughts have a pure relationship that has to do with binary comprehension. This can be a nice first query, as a result of the reply to this one, will probably be used as a device to reply your different upcoming questions.
Q: If the trade had been to completely embrace what you’ve uncovered, how do you suppose it may rework the best way music is created, taught, and even skilled by listeners?
A: The Binary idea alone is a path that may be taken, however the understandings that the overall subject of Music Science has introduced, exhibits that there are a number of doorways, so many they’ll’t be counted, and so they’ve by no means even been opened. Proper now, there’s a Music Science Group on WhatsApp that I created with a Drum and Bass musician in South Africa that covers the Psychology, Arithmetic, Physics, Acoustics, Composure, Manufacturing, Tradition, Advertising and marketing, You identify it- this Group has it, and most of those matters are usually not taken severely sufficient however, there’s substantial materials to labored with in every space for music. As a result of my private focus was Composure and Manufacturing, and principally breaking all of the Music Principle Guidelines and creating horrible music, My self-officiated Occupation is ‘Extremely Fashionable Music Writing’ by way of Music Science. The Group is at the moment discussing a Psychic Style, and I do not know what that will even sound like as a accomplished tune, however the sensible notions that it could actually exist are actually materializing as usable sound pattern within the Group Chat. That’s not even my focus, however that is my level; what I do and what course I may go in, would solely depart a scratch on the tip of this Ice Berg.
a) I wish to go in to a Hip Hop and Digital Music Route (Personally) and create a brand new In poor health-Tech Style with DJ Q Bert, DJ Craze, Combine Grasp Mike, DJ Shadow, RZA, Busta Rhymes, the Beastie Boys, in addition to a number of Drum and Bass and Dubstep Producers, simply to call a couple of; to principally reeducate ourselves on the sound of In poor health Beats themselves for much more complicated causes, after which create off of that reflection with our 21st century tools.
b) I need to have the ability to stroll into any Music Instrument Manufacturing Firm and so they drop the whole lot as a result of I’m there, or set a greater appointment even, so we will focus on THEM constructing music devices that we simply at the moment don’t have, that they’d revenue off of extremely; Music Science is saying these devices ought to exist- the DEFNOX was certainly one of them.
c) I need to have the ability to create a Music Science tour the place I decide all of the music acts which might be happening this tour and present everybody what the way forward for music goes to be, verbatim.
d) I additionally wish to educate a one-day class that goes over all the brand new music science data I’ve that begins with the Binary idea and the phallic geometry of nature.
And belief, that when I’m performed doing all this… you’ll open all these model new doorways and take the torch I’ve handed to you.
AND… AND… to prime it off…
e) I’ve an answer to assist the “little man musician” make cash on an sincere taking part in area, with out disrupting the construction of the present Music Trade, in truth it will bolster the music trade over time.
Q: The place do you see essentially the most pressing want for innovation in music right this moment – and the way does your analysis tackle these blind spots or outdated assumptions?
A: You’ll discover that music right this moment isn’t making the impression it was throughout the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s,… someplace alongside the best way, folks obtained performed out on it. However I can let you know why, as a result of the Music Trade refused to step exterior of ‘Mary Had A Little Lamb’, which is one other manner of claiming, “This components, and this components solely, as a result of it sells!” Fairly comprehensible, we’re simply attempting to maintain the enterprise alive so we will proceed to make music. Properly the rationale they haven’t stepped exterior of the components is because of the truth that they don’t know HOW to make use of different formulation that you just discover in classical music; as a result of classical music is the capability of harmonic writing. What I’m telling you, is that I do know NOW… learn how to use these different formulation in order that the general public will take heed to it and luxuriate in it. In truth, the music will probably be noticeably completely different however comfy to listen to, and due to this fact, a sellable product. I’ve confirmed that that is attainable with the album I simply launched on October 1st this yr, known as ‘Area Time’, the place I display all of those new writing method approaches, I show how seamless they’re to take heed to. That is an instance of what I might change. As soon as they know these items, the best way music is written will probably be noticeably completely different, and the music writers themselves will probably be hooked on writing in these new methods.
Q: Many individuals nonetheless view music primarily as an artwork kind quite than a science. How do your findings problem that divide, and what new potentialities emerge after we deal with music as each?
A: Music will at all times be considered as an artform, there’s an apparent relationship that parts of music must science and discovering learn how to make them work collectively for a brand new result’s what created the subject of the Psychic Style. Finally, the work I’ve personally performed with the DEFNOX and understanding the Binary Relationship to music writing, is what the Music Trade actually needs, but it surely’s in my head, and there’s quite a bit to go over. I don’t suppose it will take greater than a day to reveal the whole lot, however I do know college students can be calling me up afterwards with questions… for years… hahaha and that’s why there’s a Music Science Group. My findings don’t problem something, they’re important additions to the music writing idea fully, and it opens up the chances of create devices we don’t at the moment have as a result of the chances might be seen on a map of sound. The chances are actually limitless, however the first potentialities I take note of are for Digital Music and likewise new acoustic creations together with cymbal varieties and modifying the present Piano and Guitar to the DEFNOX harmonic sequence of 13.okay.o.
Q: Your work was initially dismissed by these in training, science, and the trade. What do you suppose they’re lacking by refusing to interact with the proof you’ve introduced?
A: They didn’t reply to me, and those that did, didn’t even overview something I gave them or cared about something I stated. In line with a Professor I spoke with on the College of San Diego of their Music Science division, what I used to be describing to him, he had by no means heard of… but it surely wasn’t important to him both. That is typically the best way folks deal with this altogether, it’s not any type of disagreement, I feel a majority of it’s a lack of caring or acknowledging it even issues. Nobody actually cares. I spoke with Jon Philips, supervisor for the band Barely Stoopid, and I didn’t even suppose he would signify me, however he did discuss to me, and he simply didn’t know what to do with me, or learn how to assist me. I used to be concerned about exhibiting the DEFNOX off as a result of it was the start of a revolutionary course in music, however that’s additionally quite a bit to clarify to him, which I’m barely scratching the floor of with you right here on this interview. It’s big, it’s large, it’s actually a Fighter-Jet taking pictures throughout a blind man’s sky, they JUST. CAN’T. SEE-IT.
Q: If a serious label or conservatoire had been to undertake your discoveries tomorrow, what speedy modifications would we see in how music is written, produced, or understood?
A: The modifications can be apparent, important, and cozy, as I identified earlier. Think about all of the music you hear proper now, sounding like nursery rhymes to you… after which… someday, all this new music comes out, and it sounds… mature… completely different… however good… and then you definately hear it for the primary time and you’re feeling impressed, “Whoa, I wish to do this… How did they do this…?”
There are a number of strategies to go about this, together with Parametrics, Odd Bars, Tempo Combos, however finally, it’s the brand new odd bar idea that the music trade will need essentially the most. All of the music you hear in based mostly in 4×4 timing, and the rationale NO ONE ventures too far past that’s as a result of “ODD BARS SOUND TERRIBLE.” Oh they actually do… you can also make them sound attention-grabbing however the thoughts needs binary, that’s 4×4. None of this bizarre odd bar stuff works in a mind that’s dominantly ‘EVEN’s. BUT WAIT, Hahaha… what if I advised you, I understand how to make an odd bar sound to the listener, as comfy as a 4×4?
No Manner!
Oh Sure Fucking Manner… sure manner certainly.
And that is the stuff I’m speaking about. To the common particular person, that is some bullshit nerd stuff that doesn’t make sense, however make the music based mostly on these new formulation and present that tune to stated common particular person and watch the seems on their faces once they hear that… *eyebrows raise* “Wow, that’s truly actually good…”
I seent it.
Q: You’ve spoken about wanting music to develop past its present bounds. In sensible phrases, what would that evolution seem like in case your analysis turned a part of the mainstream method?
A: So, There can be new devices based mostly on a sound map, additions to music composure and the music methodology, a Music Science Tour, Futurize Hip Hop with a brand new EDM style, presumably create a brand new basis for no-name musicians to nonetheless make cash, and likewise presumably a Music Science Continuation or Actuality TV Present of kinds that explores the subject, as a result of the subject will probably be opened and I’ll have uncovered a lot of what the world is at the moment able to and seems to be oblivious to.
Q: Trying forward, how do you hope your findings will form the subsequent technology of musicians and thinkers – and what would it not imply for the way forward for music in the event that they did?
A: It’s extremely unlikely, because of the previous I’ve mentioned with you regarding the DEFNOX or the binary idea, that any of this may occur. Who am I- you don’t know me- nobody does- and I simply randomly come right here and say, “Make me your Music President and I’ll make all of it higher.” That sounds just like the Monorail Salesman on the Simpsons to me, but when by some probability… if someplace on this pile of phrases I’ve despatched again to you, somebody within the music trade realizes I’m the important thing to the longer term… I can let you know proper now, we’re headed into a brand new Eighties for music enterprise, and it’s gonna be booming AGAIN, as a result of I’ll current the subsequent “trade race”. True outcomes are straightforward to hype. It’s simply ironic that I’ve fallen into this place the place I have to have some form of music profession with a view to ascend above it and provides your complete music zeitgeist a make-over.
