A person born or forcefully develops twelve fingers for a purpose to create something new with our vast population/technology boom. In the early renaissance music was simple as human life was as well. Nothing digital coursed through their veins just simple two-string loot and other soft mellowed instruments. By around the early twentieth century humans began to incorporate all types of sounds into music as the industrial age hit our lives with such force. This combination has led our hearing sense into this incredible electronic music era we are part of in this early twentieth century. Based on new sounds, warp channels, filters, recordings, heavy bass, process on layers, musical experimentation, etc… music has now become so vast and handheld that everyone can do it and become a composer by downloading a software program, “Virtual DJ.”
I ask what is next? We need a new sound for a new generation. By adding one phalanges to each hand a musician will be able to play like not other before their time. Hitting chords and sounds that were not physically able to before this twelve-fingered person came along. This musician will play all instruments in such a radical way with being able to turn three channels on a mixer at once, play two beat pads, play a harp like not one’s business, the possibilities this person can advance will create a new era. An era of genetically modified humans for arts.
If I had this anomaly I would create instruments that only I could play properly. Such as a piano with lower/higher notes with a quarter note embedded between the half note. I would create a beat mixer that would be specific for my skills. If all had these twelve-fingers the norm for a guitar would be a seven-string guitar. Advancement with evolution and our culture of wanting new only one can imagine more provocatively/productively.
If this person was born with this feature they will be alone and strong but one must wonder if he or she would play music or use their difference in a new profound way?
