  Dane Rudhyar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dane Rudhyar (March 23, 1895, in Paris – September 13, 1985, in San Francisco), né Daniel Chennevière, was a modernist composer and humanistic astrologer.
Rudhyar's own compositions tend to employ dissonant harmony, emphatically not of a systematic variety such as Charles Seeger's—Rudhyar was philosophically opposed to such a rigid approach.
His musical thought was influenced by Henri Bergson and theosophy, and he viewed composers as mediums, writing that "the new composer" was "no longer a 'composer,' but an evoker, a magician.

 The Legacy of Dane Rudhyar
Rudhyar stresses time and time again that every birth chart is the best for the particular purpose of the individual to which it refers, because "he is, in structure and function, this chart".
Rudhyar saw that the purposive nature of depth psychology was attempting to meet this need, that in its attempt to "reveal powerful archetypes" and to evoke a "function of reconciliation", or an "image of salvation", it was in essence a "language of images rich with symbolical meaning".
Interestingly, Rudhyar defines our free will as "the will not to conform to the past" [24], or "the measure of a man’s capacity to be and act as an individual", while fate is "the measure of his dependence upon collective and generic standards as determining structures".

 DANE RUDHYAR
Rudhyar stresses that in composing music he is not, like so many other composers    ; past     and present, fashioning or contriving musical "objects."  For him, music is and should     be     the exteriorization in tone of an inner life — the flow of life (or in Ira Progoff's sense, the     psyche) itself.
For Rudhyar, any truly significant rebirth or transformation in     music must integrate     within a broader, more inclusive frame of reference and organized consciousness values     of both non-Western, sacromagical music and features of the Western mental approach     based on proportion and form.
While Rudhyar has written orchestral and chamber music, he has composed mainly     for the piano, pioneering a technique which he calls "orchestral pianism," in which the     total resonance of tone produced is more significant than separate notes and formal     articulation.

To Rudhyar, it was vital that in order to act as a “seed” man or woman in the life of a new cycle or phase of history, one must sever oneself from all past conditioning and open oneself to a basic “mutation”.
Rudhyar was very aware of the relativism of astrology, of the context-bound nature of interpretation, and the function of differing world-views in determining the nature of the astrology in use.
Rudhyar is quite adamant that transits and progressions do not reveal what will occur in terms of events, “but the sequential steps which it would be best for us to take in order to gradually actualize our innate potential and to fulfill the purpose which is defined by our birth chart”.

 Dane Rudhyar
Dane Rudhyar was born in Paris in 1895 and moved to the United States in 1916, remaining there until his death in 1985.
Rudhyar believes that calling an octave of a particular pitch the same name is merely for the sake of convenience, because Rudhyar observes that each pitch in of itself has a different character, beyond the scope of labeling only twelve semi-tones within the octave.
Rudhyar observes that "if every musical sound is a compound-tone, a melody is not one unrolling thread of sounds, but several threads of sounds; it is, in fact, approximatively the same thing as a succession of chords," Rudhyar's interpretation of musical processes yields the conclusion that harmony and melody are one in the same.

 Tribute to Dane Rudhyar - part 3
Rudhyar's message to us is that as we are people living through an important transitional phase in the development of humanity, we should all try to think, feel and act in terms of a common new future which we must create together.
Rudhyar suggests that the basic realization a man or woman can have, is that birth gives to a human being the possibility to consider his or her whole life as a process of transformation; and then sooner or later, more or less consciously and deliberately, to live that personal life-span as such a process.
Rudhyar was however an example for all of us in another way as well: he remained an indomitable source of inspiration in spite of all the problems he encountered during his life in many ways and many forms.

In it Rudhyar explores the many levels at which astrology may be studied and applied: from the biological level to the Transpersonal level where all that is symbolized in an astrological chart - especially transits of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto - is used for the process of transformation to a higher level of being.

 Dane Rudhyar, the father of Karmic Astrology
Born in Paris in the late 19th Century, Dane Rudhyar as a young man quickly developed a reputation for his sharp mind and literary bent in Parisian circles.
My personal opinion is that Dane Rudhyar did more than any single other modern astrologer to drag astrology out of the cesspool of the Middle Ages fatalism and negativity to allow astrology to grow into the modern age.
Rudhyar was an old man by this point, well into his 80s, and he knew he wouldn't be around much longer, so he was leaving his vision of the future for a younger generation to pick up and work with.

 Dane Rudhyar's reformulation of astrological theory - by Dennis Frank
Rudhyar observes that "the philosophy of Time, which is the necessary background to a vital and holistic presentation of astrology, finds its expression essentially in two factors: the Moment and the Cycle." He says the essence of the cycle lies in "the three terms which in their trinity constitute its wholeness: beginning, middle, end".
Rudhyar's expertise as a generalist enabled him to formulate a glorious vision of the subject, which inspired students and catalysed the snow-balling popularity of astrology in the latter half of the 20th century.
Rudhyar cites Russia's last Tsar as an example of natal Saturn retrograde, yet doesn't point out that the subversion of his regal authority in his family, his court and affairs of state by Rasputin serves as a classic example of the implied consequence.

Even though Rudhyar aptly describes his music as being based on the rhythms of speech rather than dance, his music is essentially melodic and rhapsodic.
Back to his life: it is interesting to note that Rudhyar, like Lou Harrison, spent much of his time in isolated places, away from urban centers, the "art scene." Places that were the "real West" of the imagination (the why and wherefore of that could take a whole essay in itself).
The magic of Rudhyar's music is that it captures both the strength of consonance (Rudhyar wasn't afraid of some wonderful fifths - take the opening chord of his piano pieces, Stars, for instance), and the tension of dissonance.

With Rudhyar it is evident that he knew, that what he meant to convey to his readers was hardly ever seen for what it was meant to be.

 Dane Rudhyar - Free Music Downloads, Videos, CDs, MP3s, Bio, Merchandise and Links
American composer Dane Rhudyar was known not only for his music, but for pioneering a humanist approach to astrology, and writing about both topics.
Despite this, and the influence that his writings on music -- specifically, Dissonant Harmony (1928) and The New Sense of Sound (1930) -- had on many composers, Rudhyar was little known for his music until late in life when composers James Tenney and Peter Garland helped bring him to the attention of the music world.
Regardless of his musical ups and downs, Rudhyar remained creatively active throughout his life, taking up painting in New Mexico in the late '30s, writing about music, exploring religion, philosophy, and theosophy (which led to his name change based on a Sanskrit term).
