The music of Beyond One is really for the discerning ear. Let me give a little commentary.
I believe Western Music throughout history, follows the harmonic series of a single note. When you play a single note on the piano (or any instrument for that matter, each instrument has its own harmonics), the note results in a series of overtones or the harmonic series. It goes something like this: fundamental note, octave, fifth, fourth, third, two minor thirds, a series of seconds and finally a series of diminished seconds.
Okay so Paul and I have recorded this CD of improvised music. Paul's infuence as a guitarist is that he was inspired by the early music of "Pink Floyd", "Tangerine Dream" and "King Crimson" (the progressive rock of the 70's and softer sounds that were, I believe, a precursor to the "New Age" style of music). I on the other hand, am a classically trained pianist.
Remember my theory of Western Music. In our music you will hear a prevalence of minor seconds in our melodies - the scary note, so to speak - (from the top of the harmonic series). Very indicative of our time I think, (especially post 9 - 11). There you have it. I hope you enjoy! BR>
