“All things are aggregations of atoms that dance and by their movement produce sound. When the rhythm of the dance changes, the sound it produces also changes…Each atom perpetually sings its song, and the sound at every moment creates dense subtle forms.”
– Alexandra David-Neel
Welcome to Musical Cosmology, a blog by myself, Isaac W. Koren.
A bit about me…I am a collaborative vocal artist, writer and musical cosmologist. I have been called for the last twenty years, to bring a deeper understanding of the being of Music and how it can be used to foster a more vital and spiritual human experience.
I have resisted, for a number of reasons, until now. I write this blog for my own satisfaction and so the voice inside that patiently and persistently reminds me that my soul has descended to this Earth to share a perspective on sound and music.
So, this blog is dedicated to the exploration, research and proliferation into a deeper understanding of the phenomenonal Being of Music.
As I mentioned above, this is a project spanning over twenty years of lived experience, study and creative data collection on the question, “What, how and why is Music, as such?”
From poets, to philosophers, to living embodied practitioners, this is a place to have an active conversation on the transformative power of Music and gather profound new ways of relating to, engaging with and experiencing music for you.
My journey started in a mystical experience. When I was 15 years old, I heard a voice that told me I would sing. I resisted it and moved towards the life that was planned out for me. Over the next five years, I was slowly pulled into music, as it presented itself in opportunities, downloads and synchronicities.
At 20, I was asked to do my doctorate on the Being of Music at North Eastern. I had just completed my graduate thesis and it was the final day of term. I was excited to leave for NYC to go sing and play music for a change.
I said no that day and replied, my studies won’t end, but I need to go ‘Be In’ music rather than talk about Music. Miles Davis said that is tantamount to ‘dancing about architecture’.
But the truth is, my studies have just intensified. In the last seven years with my brother, I have had an opportunity to collect thousands of hours of creative data and lived experience, witnessing the human experience of music and sound.
I am thrilled to share everything I know and am learning, with you.
