All of these things started drawing me more and more that started this personal research. I was specialized in ethnomusicology and music of West Asia, Turkish, Arabic, and Persian classical musics, which are microtonal, and they include notes that fall between the black and white keys on the piano, and more notes per octave, not just 12.

C to C sharp, C sharp to D. Non-musicians should know that there are 12 half-step. And the half-step in a Western octave is the smallest division of sound. Every time I use a jargon, I'm going to explain it because I'm not going to assume people know these basic things. They may have studied recorder a long time ago, but I'm going to assume that people don't know because this is very important.

And unfortunately, I have to stay on the surface because for me to talk about more sophisticated jargon, I need to spend time to lay the ground and connect the dots. So people should keep this in mind. And again, feel free to ask specific questions if you want to guide me in this, but I'm going to give you just...

the umbrella of this complexity and how compelling it is in what trickles down to us as being music, that it's not just what we think it is. It's far more than that. It's a system. When you understand these things, go deep into it over the years, you realize that music trickles down to us from a system in the past, seems to have come from Mesopotamia.

They used the Mugam system there, similar to Macomb. Macomb is spelled M-A-Q-A-M, Mugam, M-U-G-H-A-M, and went westward toward North Africa. And that's the origin of the blues. Microtonal music, blues, you can't play it on piano, you can play blues, but you can't play the notes between the notes. You need a voice or bending the string on a guitar or using instruments where you can bend the notes.

You can do that on wind instruments like saxophones and trumpets. But it's very tricky. So I'm giving support based on acoustics and what resonates with us and what humans seek and how far and deep this can go. That's where I'm coming from. Better understanding of the human being. And humans have practiced these things to very sophisticated levels that I'm

getting the message that music is not just an art form. It's a system for unraveling consciousness, healing, revealing, creating rehabilitation, suggesting, supporting, furthering, lubricating our attempt to practice spirituality, to lose the self.
