Expanding on my earlier post regarding Francis Bacon and the Twice 11 Brethren, there’s still a bit more associated with the concept of Twice 11 than was originally addressed. My book, The Next Octave, approaches such questions from a musical perspective. And while the significance that Francis Bacon applied to numbers tends to fall into…

Several researchers involved in the Shakespeare authorship question have focused their attention on an obscure group encoded into several Elizabethan texts, a group called the Twice 11 Brethren. John Anthony, an Oxfordian researcher (a proponent of Edward de Vere in the authorship question) has uncovered a lot of information about the Twice 11 Brethren that…

The harmonic series contains 16 usable notes (notes with large enough intervals that we can distinguish them) in its chromatic scale. Of those 16 notes, each one generates its own scale. This graphic shows the list of frequencies that each note generates within its own scale for A4. Note that nowhere in the harmonic series…

In Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut, Bill Harford is unmasked before the secret society while three notes are ominously struck on the piano. First we hear an oscillation between F and F#, followed by a dissonant and repeated high G. In The Next Octave, we track these notes in the harmonic series and uncover some startling…

In Chapter 13 of The Next Octave, we delve into the coded messages of Francis Bacon. This chapter, entitled “An alchemical wedding of tones” is a fascinating look at Bacon’s hints regarding the harmonic series.

Both systems, encoded with mathematical ratios of creative tension, have the power to produce both harmony and dissonance. Over the centuries, governing philosophies tempering both music and money have created two systems of fiat notes, the values of which have…

My partner, Allan, is Danish and we toured Denmark in 2019. The highlight of the trip was Kronborg Slot, the real-life setting of Shakespeare’s tragedy, Hamlet. Kronborg often hosts performances of the play on the castle grounds; the first production here was in 1816 when amateurs performed it at the garrison. Another production took place in 1916, and…

Marko Rodin’s Mobius Circuit illustrates the movement of energy: flow is driven by the power of two through the doubling of 1-2-4-8-7-5 and flow is governed by the power of three, generated by the oscillating 3 and 6 ascending to 9. This is just the first toe into a pond of complex water… my new…
