The mathematical foundations of my work are rooted in ancient wisdom.
My research is deeply anchored in the Pythagorean tradition, where music was understood not just as an art, but as the audible manifestation of number and geometry. This journey led me to the Seikilos Epitaph (1st Century AD)—the oldest surviving complete musical composition.
In this ancient stone, I found more than just a song; I found a masterclass in symmetry. By applying the pure ratios of the Pythagorean system—fractions based on powers of 2 and 3—the melody reveals a 'concentric' order. It is a bridge between the physical vibration of a string (the Monochord) and the emotional experience of harmony.
These insights are the cornerstone of the Concentric Theory, proving that the natural laws of sound have remained unchanged for millennia, waiting for us to listen with mathematical precision.
With over five decades of experience in music, I have worked across various dimensions of the art form—from the stage to the research lab. My career has been a balance between professional performance and a deep, academic inquiry into the nature of sound.
Performance: Years of experience as a musician have allowed me to experience the power of harmony firsthand, understanding how theory breathes life into practice.
Educational Leadership: As the founder of the Music Motion Team, I have dedicated myself to creating innovative pedagogical tools that simplify complex harmonic concepts for the next generation of musicians.
Interdisciplinary Research: I have spent fifty years developing the Concentric Theory, a framework that bridges the gap between ancient Pythagorean wisdom and modern digital interaction.
My path has always been guided by a single goal: to understand exactly when and why sound transforms into music.
Bridging the gap between theory and interactive practice.
My work culminates in the integration of the written word and digital exploration. Each project is designed not just to be read, but to be experienced through innovative musical tools.
When the Sound Becomes Music: My central book exploring the hidden order of harmony and the Concentric Theory.
The mmk Keyboard: I am currently developing the first Pythagorean Keyboard, a groundbreaking project that applies pure mathematical ratios to a physical instrument, Pythagorean comma in your hands — for the first time on any keyboard in the world.
Music Motion Applications: This initiative has led to a suite of digital tools and musical utilities, including:
Interval Explorer: For visualising pure Pythagorean intervals.
The Modal Mosaic: An interactive map of musical modes.
Virtual Monochord: A digital version of the ancient diagnostic tool. * IP & Innovation: I am working on protecting these innovations, including a unique MIDI to MMF conversion method and a physical hardware zone system for musical instruments.
