iON | Music Tonal Experience

Transcribed by Bert.

Payday

[16 May 2015 Part 2]

(1:02:28 mark)
Bob: Is music communicating frequency, amplitude, magnetism…

iON: No, but you can take it! No! No! No! No, don’t make it a thing! You just hear it, and you can connect to it even if you don’t like it. We like it when you don’t like it because then you listen to it or you run from it but then it comes back. And it’s just beautiful, because the next thing you know, you adore it. Some of the “rip-rap crip crap” bullshit stuff that we play. It’s the most ridiculous stuff ever, ever, ever but now it’s caught on. And the next thing you know, you’re singing it. “So, you say that you love me, so shut up or kill me”!

Bob: Ha! Ha! Ha! So, the co-hearing part, the connecting part comes through sound first, before visual models?

iON: Tonal experiences, you respond to that first.

Bob: Is that what “String Theory” is trying to talk about, the tones in matter?

iON: Yes, it’s ridiculous, but yeah!

Bob: Yeah, that’s what they are going towards. See, they’re dropping the visual, Carolyn. They’ve moved out of that. And so, they’re trying to move into the acoustic space for their visual metaphors. They’re trying to fit their visual bias into the acoustic ground. It’s not going to work too well.
