Husband, Puritan minister, composer of baroque and classical music.

Author of “Paradisus, Being the concise quantification, of the hidden essence and knack of all musical genius, and the method for its speedy attainment and constant increase, in the dedicated composer; for the gaining of exhaustive geometric dominion of the keyboard, by the navigation, orderly deformation, combination, and exchange, of four primitive devices, (i.e. proper stepwise motion, intervals, chords, and arpeggios) upon the mnemonic binary maps of all keys, triads, and 7th chords," Which treatise is the replacement of Fux’s most unwieldy and inferior Gradus Ad Parnassum, and is now freely published as an appendix to Kirnberger’s Art of Strict Musical Composition, which is the indispensable companion text to Bach’s Essay on the True Art of Playing Keyboard Instruments, and which three texts together and alone are sufficient for the attainment, even of the compositional ability of the highest masters of the art of music-- of every genre-- including even the baroque, and including even J. S. Bach and his self-admitted subordinates (and self-manifest mathematical satellites) Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, etc.

I do Trance music too 😎

PS here’s how to see all twelve diatonic keys at once, for the rest of your life. 😀

All the white keys are named 1
All the black keys are named 0
C = quadruple 1, triple 1
G = zero triple 1, triple 1
D = zero triple 1, zero double 1
A = double zero double 1, zero double 1
Etc.
These are the binary names of the keys according to the New Strict and Learned School of the Super Baroque, and according to Paradisus, my appendix to Kirnberger’s Art of Strict Musical Composition, which is called, “Paradisus.”
