How do the musical principles and universal laws work together? Or do they?
(I was thinking here e.g. the resonance principle) Universal Principles are universal principles because they apply to EVERYTHING – including music. I sometimes give an entire evening’s workshop called SOUND & COSMOS, where I begin with musical principles, and then extrapolate and extend them to include Universal Principles. You could just as easily work they other way, as well. You could begin with universal principles and then specifically apply them to musical principles. Let me touch on a few examples: RESONANCE means that if 2 things are capable of vibrating to the same frequency, and if they are near enough to each other, then if one starts vibrating, it gets the other one also vibrating – to the same frequency. A musical example: If you tune 2 strings on a guitar to the same note, if you pluck one of these strings, the other string also starts to vibrate. An emotional example: If one person in a room starts to laugh hysterically, soon other people are also laughing, even though
