MUSICAL PHYSICS - Feeling Vibrations

It all started in 2012...

Interested in becoming a music composer, I began reading the first chapters of “The Craft of Musical Composition” by Paul Hindemith. Book One opens with 6th century Greek references, the presence of harmonic overtones, and how the 12-tone scale derived its chromatic scale based on the multiplication and division of the fundamental frequency of a pitch. This mathematic discovery was eye-opening to say the least; sparking an interest in the physics and history of sound - something I would keep on the back-burner throughout the following ten years of research and development as a musical artist, producer, and performer.

INTRODUCTION - Exhibitions of Magic and Science

For artists, there are two identifiable personality sets:
the “magician” and the “scientist.”

Among them are specialists, generalists, technicians, naturals, prodigies, and burn-outs. An artist may transition between these various descriptions, or remain the same type of creator their entire careers.

In the post-pandemics of the 2020s, I’ve been channeling my science-oriented approach into a series of live presentations and have been exhibiting them at a public library. Subjects range from physics, to philosophy, sound healing, astronomy, and artificial intelligence. A pretty wide swatch of material, but all with a common link: vibrational waves – communication at the most primal level.

But it took the better of a decade to reach the point where my artistic and intellectual pursuits aligned and led to the illuminating era of the past five years. To better understand my scientific background, we begin at a time when the line between magic and science was much blurrier.
