MUSIC NOTATION:A VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF HUMORAL PATHOLOGY

Click here for Anastasio Website

This research plan is concentrated on a notion called Audio Representation of a Disease and its Cure. It concentrates on the following artistic/therapeutic worries:

1) Do the human body humors have their own harmony and what does it sound like.

research1Past researches have proved that this harmony is a simple monotonous midi sequence simulation, that can however, change pitch and velocity. Are we able to record these humors and listen to them as special forms of music, identifying their harmony and their arrangement, using a condenser stethoscope for the special recording? Is the recorded sound sample mono or stereo, monophonic or polyphonic line? Maybe human health has sound that is based more on the a major scale than on a minor. Thus, the different styles of music, with the progression of time, reinforce the sense that the human body goes through changes, adapting its organs accordingly. Using the example of today's youth, the 'emo' generation (derived from the word emotional appear to have significant organic differences compared to the 'rockers' of the1960's .This is the basic reason why they listen to different kinds/moods of music compared to the youth of the 1960's. Another consideration is the orchestration? Taking this concept a step further, a very basic human humor, black bile, can explain the reasons for depression disorders. Too much black bile was thought to make a person gloomy, and nowadays symptoms of depression such as insomnia and lack of pleasure in enjoyable activities are described as melancholic symptoms, derived from the Greek word melancholia, "excess of black bile," (formed from melan-, "black," and khole, "bile"). Is W.A. Mozart's ''Eine Kleine Nachtmusik'' considered a 'healthy' musical piece and why? Why was it accepted as 'healthier' and more amusing in the time that it was written whereas today it is thought of as a light piece of music? Listening to it with friends, their most common reaction is 'turn it off'! Does this prove that I have aged or that I am a depressed person? A common trait amongst depressed people, mostly women, is their love research2for Pachelbel's 'Canon'. What if I were to transcribe, with the assistance of a medical specialist from Harvard or MIT for example, his motifs and sequences to a tonal system of fluids and humors that are responsible for human pleasure, depression, laughter and joy and consequently identify suitable medical prescription. That means that I will be doing the exact opposite of what the researchers in Chicago proposed. Sound sequences transformed to DNA and protein sequences, as opposed to simulating DNA and protein sequences into midi sequences. Music notation is nothing more than the sketching/simulation/representation/symbolization of the specific moves-reactions and amounts of all the basic fluids and every substance that exist in the human body. Even the tempo of human cells may be transformed into 8ths,16ths, or 32nds,64ths , quarter notes or half notes, each time something different is heard. The basic proof for this Thesis is the reaction of my body and of my senses to different musical stimuli.

2) Illnesses were thought to be caused by an imbalance in the humors within the body.

If we find an acoustic (audio) mistake in a body 'prelude', for example digestion, can we solve or cure a dysfunction or disease by simply changing the 'arrangement' or the harmony or even the pitch/velocity, or the compression of sound? What if I were to compare a simple stethoscope to a condenser microphonic stethoscope for such a detailed recording! Also, what about the tempo of digestion 'prelude'? What are the rules or the facts of a good interpretation? May I cure someone's disorder or disease using my own ears solely, or at least make the diagnosis from his own 'solo' aria that unfolds either in front of me or inside an MRI scanner. I'm sure that his internal arrangement looks similar to his external one. How high is human hearing on the human senses pyramid?

I believe that by the use of hearing, a good musician/composer can locate and may be able to solve many DNA-related identity problems.
