The tritone is often used as the main interval of dissonance in Western harmony, (the Musica Diabolus) and is important in the study of musical harmony. "The Devil exists in the man's compositions" was oft quoted, if nothing less than suitable, conventional, 'easy-on-the-ear-and-the-pretentions' music was played on all the wobbly dulcimers going around.
At Macwarrior's Forbidden Rhythms Orchestra and Danderloo, this concept of dissonance has been evidenced so many times that it has become emdedded into the phsyche of all who walk through the doors of Smugdugs and Baffle. Furthermore, not only harmonic dissonance but also rhythmic dissonance abounds, so that is why you'll see the emblematic words "syncopus diabolus" above the doors of our recording complex, because really, all the music sounds like rusty kettles on the floor being tripped over...
It was back in the halcyon days of the 1970's that Bimsley Wurstoff, then a humble Kipper seller, walked into S & B with a cartful of kippers for Granny Arbroath and brought about a revolution in sound production.
Bimsley was so offended by the racketty din being laid down in studio A, that he marched up to the President of "The Careful Boiling Smugduggers Sound Distillery" (as it was known then) and shouted " 'Ere - I'z got something in me cart that could help git rid of all that unsavoury wheeking and clunking", and he produced two lovely Moltoffable Dekarys, which has become the core sound production component for the MFRO and The Glorious Danderloo Performers.
Indeed, that serendiptious meeting was to revolutionise the whole sound reproduction process at S & D, however it did nothing to mitigate the uncouth clatterings of the session studio drummers, so to this day "syncopus diabolus" remains the motto, until a good, professional drummer comes along.
