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 idea, revealing a binary relationship between the human thoughts and actuality itself, and unlocking an “Omega Key” of harmonics that would change how music is written, taught, and skilled. On this interview, he explains how these revelations would possibly delivery new devices, genres, and compositional strategies, and why the business’s cussed reliance on protected formulation is holding it again. From futuristic “Sick-Tech” collaborations and odd-bar constructions 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 artistic period.
Q: After 25 years immersed in music science, what would you say is the one most groundbreaking discovery you’ve made that challenges how we at the moment perceive music?
A: I had theorized that I’d 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. Nonetheless, that’s not the groundbreaker- the large discovery is that Actuality- or ‘Vitality’ on this case- parallel to the electrical energy being noticed as a nature in it’s auditory state; Actuality itself will not be 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 additionally produce an additional discernable key coined as ‘the Omega Key’). One other manner of taking a look at that is Netwon’s Legislation of Gravity for instance; the explanation 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. It is a nice first query, as a result of the reply to this one, will probably be used as a software to reply your different upcoming questions.
Q: If the business have been to completely embrace what you’ve uncovered, how do you suppose it might 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 final subject of Music Science has introduced, exhibits that there are a number of doorways, so many they will’t be counted, and so they’ve by no means even been opened. Proper now, there’s a Music Science Neighborhood 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 title it- this Neighborhood has it, and most of those matters are usually not taken significantly 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 mainly breaking all of the Music Idea Guidelines and creating horrible music, My self-officiated Occupation is ‘Extremely Fashionable Music Writing’ by way of Music Science. The Neighborhood is at the moment discussing a Psychic Style, and I do not know what that may even sound like as a accomplished music, however the sensible notions that it could 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 route I might go in, would solely depart a scratch on the tip of this Ice Berg.
a) I need to go in to a Hip Hop and Digital Music Course (Personally) and create a brand new Sick-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 number of; to mainly reeducate ourselves on the sound of Sick Beats themselves for much more complicated causes, after which create off of that reflection with our 21st century gear.
b) I would like to have the ability to stroll into any Music Instrument Manufacturing Firm and so they drop every part as a result of I’m there, or set a greater appointment even, so we are able to 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 one in all them.
c) I would like to have the ability to create a Music Science tour the place I choose all of the music acts which can be occurring this tour and present everybody what the way forward for music goes to be, verbatim.
d) I additionally need to train a one-day class that goes over all the brand new music science info I’ve that begins with the Binary idea and the phallic geometry of nature.
And belief, that after I’m achieved doing all this… you’ll open all these model new doorways and take the torch I’ve handed to you.
AND… AND… to high it off…
e) I’ve an answer to assist the “little man musician” earn cash on an sincere taking part in subject, with out disrupting the construction of the present Music Trade, in actual fact it might bolster the music business over time.
Q: The place do you see essentially the most pressing want for innovation in music at the moment – and the way does your analysis tackle these blind spots or outdated assumptions?
A: You’ll discover that music at the moment isn’t making the impression it was throughout the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s,… someplace alongside the best way, individuals bought performed out on it. However I can let you know why, as a result of the Music Trade refused to step outdoors of ‘Mary Had A Little Lamb’, which is one other manner of claiming, “This method, and this method solely, as a result of it sells!” Fairly comprehensible, we’re simply making an attempt to maintain the enterprise alive so we are able to proceed to make music. Nicely the explanation they haven’t stepped outdoors of the method 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… the way to use these different formulation in order that the general public will hearken to it and luxuriate in it. In reality, the music will probably be noticeably totally different however snug to listen to, and due to this fact, a sellable product. I’ve confirmed that that is potential with the album I simply launched on October 1st this 12 months, known as ‘Area Time’, the place I show all of those new writing approach approaches, I show how seamless they’re to hearken to. That is an instance of what I’d change. As soon as they know these items, the best way music is written will probably be noticeably totally 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 prospects emerge once we deal with music as each?
A: Music will all the time be seen as an artform, there’s an apparent relationship that parts of music need to science and discovering the way 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 achieved 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 so much to go over. I don’t suppose it might take greater than a day to reveal every part, however I do know college students could be calling me up afterwards with questions… for years… hahaha and that’s why there’s a Music Science Neighborhood. My findings don’t problem something, they’re vital 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 may very well be seen on a map of sound. The chances are actually countless, however the first prospects I take into account are for Digital Music and in addition new acoustic creations together with cymbal varieties and modifying the present Piano and Guitar to the DEFNOX harmonic collection of 13.ok.o.
Q: Your work was initially dismissed by these in training, science, and the business. 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 people who did, didn’t even overview something I gave them or cared about something I mentioned. Based on 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 vital to him both. That is typically the best way individuals deal with this altogether, it’s not any type of disagreement, I believe 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 symbolize me, however he did discuss to me, and he simply didn’t know what to do with me, or the way to assist me. I used to be taken with displaying the DEFNOX off as a result of it was the start of a revolutionary route in music, however that’s additionally so much to elucidate to him, which I’m barely scratching the floor of with you right here on this interview. It’s big, it’s huge, it’s actually a Fighter-Jet taking pictures throughout a blind man’s sky, they JUST. CAN’T. SEE-IT.
Q: If a significant label or conservatoire have been to undertake your discoveries tomorrow, what fast adjustments would we see in how music is written, produced, or understood?
A: The adjustments could be apparent, vital, 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… totally different… however good… and then you definitely hear it for the primary time and you’re feeling impressed, “Whoa, I need 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 business will need essentially the most. All of the music you hear in based mostly in 4×4 timing, and the explanation NO ONE ventures too far past that’s as a result of “ODD BARS SOUND TERRIBLE.” Oh they actually do… you may 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 snug as a 4×4?
No Approach!
Oh Sure Fucking Approach… 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 music to mentioned common particular person and watch the seems on their faces after they hear that… *eyebrows carry* “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 strategy?
A: So, There could be new devices based mostly on a sound map, additions to music composure and the music technique, a Music Science Tour, Futurize Hip Hop with a brand new EDM style, probably create a brand new basis for no-name musicians to nonetheless earn cash, and in addition probably a Music Science Continuation or Actuality TV Present of types 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 era 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, as a result of previous I’ve mentioned with you regarding the DEFNOX or the binary idea, that any of this can 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 business realizes I’m the important thing to the long run… I can let you know proper now, we’re headed into a brand new Nineteen Eighties for music enterprise, and it’s gonna be booming AGAIN, as a result of I’ll current the subsequent “business race”. True outcomes are straightforward to hype. It’s simply ironic that I’ve fallen into this place the place I must have some form of music profession to be able to ascend above it and provides the complete music zeitgeist a make-over.
