Science Applied To Sound I believe we're all musicians, we just don't know it. If you have a soul, you're a great musician. Only you can express your inherent reflexivity on life. Too many musicians hinder the physics of their musical soul by allowing their ego/painbodies to dominate their mind, which in turn, devours their Musical Output. This equates to mediocrity; the ultimate form of variation for a musician. Variation must be gradually reduced and ultimately eliminated (The Stretch Goal is to reach Musical Singularity). Once this takes place you will then allow for the Spirit to dig into the Well Springs of your Heart and bring forth Musical Rivers of Life for all of us listeners. Music is one of the most powerful forces on this earth. If you learn to channel the physics of your soul through the gift of sound, you will jettison to the next level of musical mastery. If you are new to writing music, here's a few comments that may assist you towards your musical mission: "There's no one way to write a song, and only one way to make it great." Science Applied To Sound: Y =f(X) Transfer Function Y = Output (Effect), f = function, X = Input (Cause) a) Y = The Output (e.g.) Y = "The Groovefactor"�, establishing the type of physics and/or Inputs you create/establish your song with. b) X(s) = The Inputs (e.g.) are the so called "Genetic Makeup" of the Y; here's a few examples: (X1) Type of sound(s) being used. (X2) Arrangement - Does every section of the song add value to the Y? (X3) Arrangement - Does every note of the song add value to the Y? (X4) If there are lyrics, are the lyrics and the performance adding value to the Y? (X5) Are the sounds that you are using create the correct synergy towards the Y?
