# **SPACE JAZZ THEORY: DUAL‑BAND RESONANCE ANALYSIS**
# # # **A Full Scientific & Experimental Report**
# # # Prepared for: *Conceptual Review by MIT‑Level Research Groups*
# # # Author: *Kieran Dunne — Founder of Space Jazz Theory*
# **1. ABSTRACT**
Space Jazz Theory proposes that the human body behaves as a resonant system whose micro‑vibrational patterns shift in response to auditory environments. This report outlines the theoretical basis, experimental method, and predicted outcomes of a dual‑band resonance test using two harmonic “beacon frequencies”: **64 Hz** and **176 Hz**. The experiment is designed in a manner consistent with methodologies used in MIT’s optical vibrometry and “visual microphone” research. Results are expected to reveal four distinct resonance fields corresponding to different auditory conditions. These fields can be sonified to create a new form of music — the foundation of the Space Jazz Theory band and album.

# **2. INTRODUCTION**
Traditional biology focuses on chemical and structural processes, but every biological system also produces **vibration**. Heartbeat, breath, muscle tone, and neural activity all generate micro‑movements. Advances in optical vibration analysis show that even tiny movements can encode meaningful information.
Space Jazz Theory extends this idea by proposing:
- The body is a **resonant field**.
- Certain frequencies (64 Hz and 176 Hz) act as **harmonic probes**.
- Different auditory environments produce **distinct vibrational signatures**.
- These signatures can be **measured, classified, and sonified**.
This report merges scientific method with artistic application, forming the basis for a new musical medium.

# **3. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK**
# # **3.1 Resonance Fields**
Space Jazz Theory identifies four resonance states:
1. **Stimulated Field** — chaotic, high‑energy response
2. **Settling Field** — harmonic, coherent response
3. **Internal Field** — heartbeat‑linked, introspective response
4. **Neutral Field** — low‑activity baseline
# # **3.2 Beacon Frequencies**
Two frequencies are used as analytical anchors:
- **64 Hz** — grounding, low‑band resonance
- **176 Hz** — higher‑band resonance
These are not biological absolutes but **harmonic coordinates** used to probe the body’s vibrational behaviour.

# **4. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN (MIT‑STYLE)**
# # **4.1 Participants**
One adult participant, seated comfortably with:
- back support
- arm support
- soft headrest
- no restraints
Goal: **comfort + stillness**, not immobilisation.
---
# # **4.2 Equipment**
- **High‑speed optical camera** (hundreds–thousands FPS)
- **Stable LED lighting**
- **Audio playback system** (calibrated volume)
- **Signal processing software** for:
- motion extraction
- optical flow
- phase‑based motion magnification
- frequency analysis
This setup mirrors MIT’s non‑contact vibration research.

# # **4.3 Regions of Interest (ROI)**
- Neck (carotid region)
- Upper chest
- Wrist (radial pulse)
These areas naturally express micro‑vibrations.

# # **4.4 Auditory Conditions**
1. **High‑energy track** (AC/DC‑type)
2. **Harmonic track** (Mozart‑type)
3. **Near‑silence** (Cage‑style minimalism)
4. **True baseline** (no audio)
Each condition lasts **3 minutes**, with **1‑minute rest** between.
Order is randomised.

# # **4.5 Signal Processing Pipeline**
1. Extract micro‑motion from video.
2. Convert pixel displacement to time‑series.
3. Apply **64 Hz band‑pass filter**.
4. Apply **176 Hz band‑pass filter**.
5. Compute:
- amplitude
- spectral power
- coherence
- temporal stability
6. Compare across conditions.

# **5. PREDICTED RESULTS**
# # **5.1 High‑Energy Music**
- 64 Hz: strong, jagged bursts
- 176 Hz: spiky, unstable
- Field: **Stimulated**
# # **5.2 Harmonic Music**
- 64 Hz: smooth, coherent
- 176 Hz: low, stable
- Field: **Settling**
# # **5.3 Near‑Silence**
- 64 Hz: heartbeat‑linked pulses
- 176 Hz: minimal
- Field: **Internal**
# # **5.4 Baseline**
- 64 Hz: low, unfocused
- 176 Hz: very low
- Field: **Neutral**
---
# **6. SONIFICATION OF RESULTS**
The dual‑band signals can be converted into sound using:
- amplitude → volume
- coherence → timbre
- temporal stability → modulation
- 64 Hz → low tone
- 176 Hz → high tone
This produces **four distinct sonic textures**, forming the basis of:
# 🎵 **Space Jazz Theory Music**
A new musical medium created from the body’s resonance field.
These sonified tracks can be:
- layered with instruments
- used as intros/interludes
- released as standalone pieces
- uploaded to YouTube as experimental audio
This becomes the sound of your **band and album**.

# **7. COSMIC EXTENSION**
Resonance is universal:
- planets vibrate
- stars oscillate
- plasma waves ripple through space
Space Jazz Theory positions the human resonance field as one node in a cosmic continuum of vibration.
# **8. CONCLUSION**
This report outlines a scientifically plausible, MIT‑style experiment that measures the body’s vibrational response to sound using dual‑band harmonic analysis. The predicted results support the existence of four resonance fields. Sonifying these fields produces a new form of music — the foundation of the Space Jazz Theory band and album.
