The author of that last paragraph above must not have experienced much of the work I’ve been doing for the past 40 years or so. In a nutshell, all of it is based one way or another on the principle of cymatics. My latest project, EMERGENT MUSIC AND VISUAL MUSIC: INSIDE STUDIES, involves a book, a set of DVDs, and a set of soon to be released nine or ten CDs of music, all of which are filled with examples of pieces and thoughts that rise up out of cymatic explorations. I’ve been a lover of emerging technology in the arts all my adult life but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the mysterious. In fact, the mysterious is an unending source of inspiration. Even electricity remains a mystery. No mysteries, no need for science and then life becomes purely academic and boring at best. The acts of embracing and exploring the mystical give life meaning for exploratory artists and that includes leading scientists worthy of the name. Art without mystery is pure mechanics, perfect for the pedants and academics but heartless and lifeless for artists. I am looking into the author himself and I find it is I.
