Greetings everyone, and welcome to another edition of Mighty Line Minute! This is Dave, and I'm excited this month to cover one of my favorite subjects, and that is of music.
I'll talk in this episode about music, sci-fi, and a bit of safety as well. So my passion for music began very early. It may have begun with my parents' grand piano that they had in their living room, or was it the early piano lessons that I was forced to take, that somehow I never complained about? I also developed a fascination with science fiction, as well as the music behind it.
Hearing a brilliant organist tie jazz into the Doxology.
And finally, learning The Doors. Learning how to play every song by ear. How great that was, playing the music of the late sixties.
Keyboardists like Ray Manzarek, Rick Wakeman, Keith Emerson, Jon Lord, Steve Winwood, and Herbie Hancock were several of my early influences. Today, artists such as Jordan Rudess, Rachel Flowers, Matthew Bellamy, and Mickey Dale continue to inspire.
Playing in a band called "The Color" provided a great motivation. Rock and its formative, progressive music, were - dare I say - at their peak. Nearly all of the iconic "The" bands enhanced my musical journey.
What is it behind the music that motivates us? in 1619 Johannes Kepler wrote "The Harmony of the World." In that treatise he sought to tie harmony, music, geometry together, in what's known as the harmony of the universe.
His writings revealed a divine mathematical structure, underlying planetary motion. Kepler associated musical intervals, such as the perfect fifth, with a planet's changing angular velocities at aphelion and perihelion. The ratio was considered one of the most harmonious and sacred in the cosmos.
In the 1977 film, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," we learned more. Composer John Williams crafted a distinctive five-note musical phrase used by scientists to communicate with aliens.
This motif elicited a mathematical response that approximated geographical coordinates of Devils Tower in Wyoming.
This indicated the spaceship's arrival location. The film's visuals were perfectly synchronized with the aliens' enhanced musical response.
The dramatic use of music, along with Steven Spielberg's compelling story, brought about a wonderful, lasting film.
In life, we constantly seek order amongst the chaos. And in safety and health, it is that order that helps us assure we return home safely, each and every day.
This need is evident in traffic lights, color-coded systems, safety standards, and even the way we queue up at restaurants.
