Master Music Molecule Manipulator Maestro Motsuri

By virtue of living ΩNE’s entire adult life in Japan, the full spectrum of characters from all eight corners of the multiverse have been encountered.

Like most things in life, these people are transitory—ephemeral if you will, but there are rare exceptions.

Master Music Molecule Manipulator Maestro Motsuri is one of them.

ΩNE is attracted to mavericks fulfilling their destiny as a matter of innate drive—Maestro Motsuri stands alone.

The drive to manipulate music molecules was anointed by the Muse upon him entering the atmosphere in 1975—Year of the Rabbit—12 full years after the author of this article.

Unfamiliar with the significance this 12 year period?

The Chinese zodiac calendar uses 12 animals in a 12 year cycle—entering the atmosphere in the same animal year is akin to becoming a kinder-spirit—as directed by Oneness.

Perhaps one has encountered Maestro Motsuri’s remarkable molecule manipulations accompanying TV logos of major indoctrination centres, or sound sprite in movies—among other delights.

Understanding musical molecules molecularly is reserved for those who conceive sound at a quantum level—uniting obscure musical molecules for mini-masterpieces of sound design.

How does Maestro Motsuri do this?

Trial & Error

The words “Try — Fail — Try Again — SUCCESS” written in chalk on a blackboard, linked by curving chalk arrows, with SUCCESS in yellow.

When the going gets tough, his mastery of music molecule manipulation forces him through, until the client of these masterfully assembled musical molecules—satisfied them beyond their wildest hallucinations.

The deep breath of knowledge concerning obscure music gear motivates him to assemble esoteric arrays of guitar pedals in obscenely long chains—some times reaching over 20 units.

An extreme patching nightmare to be certain.

Seeing his studio is truly an eye opener.

Strewn about are modual music gadgets capturing and masterfully manipulate musical molecules—becoming extraordinary aural delights—unlike any other in all universes—throughout the entire spectrum of space and time.

He is also highly skilled at sussing out obscure Japanese records from the 70s.

These discoveries then delights collectors from around the globe who purchase these rare nuggets of Japanese treasure.

One may even see him flipping through stacks and stacks of vinyl in the hidden record shop throughout the nooks and crannies of Tokyo.

Maestro Motsuri has several kinds of tricks up his sleeve—one of them is making the very best pesto—anywhere on planet earth—or in the entire galaxy for that matter.

So the question now remains.

What kind of music molecules will the Maestro manipulate next?

Let’s keep our collective ears peeled—for somewhere, someday, one may very well encounter music molecules manipulated by the Maestro in the esoteric art of music molecule manipulation.
