LOV.ING | Music and Engineering

‍A melody can calm us down, drive a rhythm, keep a chorus in loops, lift up a crescendo.

Classical music makes us think, house makes us move, pop sets us in loops, while ascending lines open up our gaze.

Every culture has its own musical language: India knows cyclical ragas, Africa knows polyrhythms, Europe knows harmony and counterpoint. Different in expression and yet connected by a universal principle: frequency.

Music is perhaps the oldest form of engineering known to man. It forms systems from vibrations that move us.

Frequencies that connect cultures

Music was never just entertainment. It was a bridge. In 16th century India, the mogul Akbar brought the musician Tansen to his court. Often referred to as “Indian Mozart.” His task was not just to create beauty, but also to connect cultures, religions and languages through sound. Music as politics, spirituality and engineering at the same time.

This principle still applies today: What the Indian Mozart did with sound, we do with technology, architecture and organization. We design frequencies that generate resonance.

Da Vinci, Beethoven and Tesla — three architects of frequency

Three figures show how deeply music and engineering are intertwined:

• Leonardo da Vinci drew flying machines like melodies. Lines that ascend, repeat themselves, arranged rhythmically. He was a painter, engineer, musician and thought like a composer who translates vibration into mechanics.
• Ludwig van Beethoven composed against the silence of his own deafness. His symphonies are architecture in sound space: bridges, towers, tensions, resolutions. It shows that music is not outside, but inside. Resonance within the self that takes shape.
• Nikola Tesla formulated the sentence: “If you want to understand the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” For him, technology was not just a function, but harmony with the cosmos.

All three represent the truth: engineering and music are siblings. They both build resonance rooms.

Self-confidence is frequency clarity

We know the sparkle when a sound hits us. Sometimes it happens at a specific frequency — as with 532 hertz, that vibration that we deliberately used in the film. It is more than just a sound: It sets Self-confidence free, not as ego, but as inner clarity.

Because self-confidence is frequency clarity. It is the moment when we our own basic tone hear - without distortion, without masking.

And yet everyone's heart beats differently. An engineer may beat faster, an artist slower. Organizations are like orchestras: lots of hearts, lots of tempos. The goal is not step in step, but coherence, so that diversity sounds like a common field.

In medicine, we speak of Heart rate variability. It shows how alive an organism is. Monotony means rigidity, variability means resilience. The same applies to organizations: They need heart variabilityto stay alive.

Organization as an orchestra

Each organization plays their own music. Some sound like a marching band: loud, disciplined, synchronized. Others like a jazz ensemble: free, improvising, chaotic.

The question for leadership is: What music do we want to play?

Leadership is orchestration. It's about hearing voices, enduring dissonances, taking breaks, making crescendi possible. Resonance is more than harmony: It means that vibration is transmitted, that something resonates and comes back stronger.

In physics as in culture, the following applies: Resonance increased. That is why the frequency at which we transmit is decisive.

silence, dissonance, variations

Music teaches us three more leadership lessons:

• tranquillity: Breaks are part of the composition. Keeping space is not luxury, but structure.
• dissonance: Conflicts are like tensions in music. They are not a mistake, but a promise of resolution.
• variation: A motif is not repeated mechanically, but varied. Organizations also need recognition without monotony.

The moment of mixing

As we developed the music for our film, I felt how specific frequency was. We have deliberately made sure that the composition ascending is and that the music rises instead of falling. Sounds were loaded onto each other, just as systems in technology are strengthening.

The moment when we Indian tabla rhythms with western harmony combined. Two traditions, two inner worlds of mine and suddenly a space was created that was bigger than the two in themselves. A new response born from the courage to make differences sound.

It was then that I realized that the art of engineering is also a connection. It thrives on placing various elements on top of each other until a new whole is created.

We've developed three different songs. Two found their place in the movie. But Loving has its own meaning that goes beyond music

lov.ing, the sound of connection

For me, “lov.ing” is not a sentimental word.
It is the ability to pick up and amplify vibrations.
In physics, we call it resonancewhen something resonates and comes back.
In organizations, we call it leadership, When hearts and minds are not in step but in harmony.
