MUSE • Musicians United for Social Equity

Biography

“I believe that specialists create the world. For example, if a chef focuses hard on making the most delicious food, then those who eat will be delighted. Similarly, if a clothing designer produces good, functional clothes at a low cost, then those who wear them will be pleased. Architecture, office work, and the transportation industry are the same way. By becoming experts in their fields, those who have chosen a certain path will continue to enrich the lives of many other people, including experts in other fields. I think that in this way, these relations keep society moving. Therefore, specialists should strive to be the best at what they do, more than anything!”

-Masahiro Sakurai

I see the value of music as more than just a commodity. An unmusical person can still identify when a chord or tonality sounds happy (major) and sad (minor). However , there are 6 more tonalities that evoke emotion ranging from ethereal to mysterious or Elegant to chaotic. These are the 8 notes and their corresponding chords, scales, arpeggios and tonalities we use here in the west. Darwin was never able to identify the evolutionary function of music. There is something incredibly primal and transcendent about the effects of music on a person. It passes language barriers. It’s beautiful.
