British Scholar Claims to Have Unlocked Plato's Musical and Mathematical Code

British Scholar Claims to Have Unlocked Plato's Musical and Mathematical Code

If you’ve seen the Iao Core movie “Magickal Media Terrorism Tour”* you know that the character Johnny (who is supposed to be me, but in the film is portrayed by Crispin Glover) believes himself to be the re-incarnation of the Greek musician/mathematition Pythagoras. The society which he led, half religious and half scientific, followed a code of secrecy, which certainly means today Pythagoras is a mysterious figure (accounts of his physical appearance are likely fictitious, except the description of a striking birthmark Pythagoras had on his thigh, which, like the birthmark on my own thigh, is shaped like a Fender Stratocaster) So anywho, recently a British scholar claims to have unlocked the Pythagoras mathmatical/ musical code, having discovered it in the works of Plato, but as anyone familiar with Iao Core’s M.M.T.T. will know, this is what Johnny claims to have done in a film we released 3 years ago. Life imitating Art (imitating Life) hmmmmmmmmmmm....

*We showed "Iao Core's Magickal Media Terrorism Tour" in a large revival style tent outside each venue we played on our 2003 tour. I suppose it's due for a re-release... By the way, all of Crispin Glover's shots/scenes/dialogue where lifted from his other movies including "Willard" "Bartelby" and "ChARLIES aNGELS 2" and cleverly (if I do say so myself) edited into the film. He came to the LA show and was quit impressed and said it was his best performance in a film he wasn't in......
