The discourse of musicology and timbre

  1. How was it possible for Beethoven to create music well after he turned deaf?
  2. What was the very fact that made the rumble of bass-guitar-voice-drums that was The Sex Pistols appeal so highly to music researchers from a scientific point of view?
  3. What makes an experienced journalist write about music without being a musician the same way you and I recognize the contrasting tastes of two different chocolate cakes, despite neither of us have the culinary expertise to break down their composition as a chef would?

Creativity always having been the epicenter of what I consider makes an artist, innovations to one's music allow its listeners more anchor points to experience it differently out of "the musician's box".

Hence, the above, similar and others, shall be some of the many questions & answers I shall approach once this blog launches, as to convey a sense of looking at music composition not only from a chords & scales point of view, but further!
