  Scientist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A scientist is a person who is expert in an area of science and who uses scientific methodology in researching that area.
Upon the request of the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1833, William Whewell invented the English word "scientist"; before this time the only terms in use were "natural philosopher" and "man of science".
Yet the class of people called "scientists" includes theorists who never do experiments, and even pure experimentalists often employ mathematics and deduction to arrive at their conclusions.

 Encyclopedia: Dub music
Dub is characterized as a "version" of an existing song, typically emphasizing the drums and bass for a sound popular in local Sound Systems.
It was also the time when dub made its influence known in the work of harder edged, experimental producers such as Adrian Sherwood and the roster of artists on his On-U Sound label.
Musicians such as Massive Attack, Bauhaus, The Clash, PiL, The Orb, Rhythm and Sound, Pole, Underworld and others demonstrate clear dub influences in their respective genres, and their innovations have in turn influenced the mainstream of the dub genre.

 Hopeton "Overton" Brown (Scientist) (1960 - )
Dub in the Roots Tradition collects together 15 devilishly good tracks from early in his career when Tubby finally gave the gifted youth, who'd spent a couple of years repairing TVs and radios in Tubby's electrical shop, the freedom to experiment in the studio during downtime.
Apparently Scientist would beaver away in the studio at all hours of the night then bring his dubs to the maestro the next day for comment and Tubby would generally reply that the work was weak, that his apprentice still had much to learn.
The proof is in the listening, with Scientist dubbing up a storm on these cuts laid down over 20 years ago by the Soul Syndicate and the Roots Radics on Don Mais' Roots Tradition imprint.

 Scientist Dubs Culture Into A Parallel Universe - Interview
I talked with the Scientist by phone on the past, present, and future of reggae dub.
HB: Dub is the part of reggae where the engineer manipulates what the musician put on tape to achieve different textures: by adding or taking away the lyrics, moving instruments slightly up or down, adding effects to the instruments and placement of the instruments to get a certain texture.
Or, they might drop or shake the reverb spring to make the "thunder effect." So dub remix really started from that and since Tubby—like myself—was an electronics engineer and he had a studio, he was able to manipulate the music even further because each instrument had its own track.

As dub emerges from a long, fallow period that began in the early '80s and takes root in the new millennium, there's been an upsurge of interest in the genre's original practitioners.
The Scientist appears to be doing three things at once: he lights up the board and puts a test CD in the player, sends the studio assistant running in search of a blender, and begins the group's lunch preparations by barking cooking instructions to his girlfriend, a tall, dreadlocked woman wearing white robes.
Unlike any other music, he explains, reggae and dub make a broader use of the audio spectrum, from the extreme lows of its bass to its high frequency snares, and they've subsequently set the standard by which any audio system's performance is judged.

 King Tubby - Pioneer of Dub
Dub music had to come from somewhere, and the consensus is that it came from the mind and the 4-track mixing board of Osbourne Ruddock, known far and wide as King Tubby.
Today the remix and dub version are commonplace in popular music; less widely appreciated is the fact that these techniques were pioneered in a tiny studio a Kingston, Jamaica district called Waterhouse.
That pioneer of dub was an electronics engineer and sound system operator named Osbourne Ruddock, but to the crowds who flocked to his dances, and the countless singers and record producers who utilised his skills, he was known as King Tubby.

dub is a kaleidoscopic musical montage which takes sounds originally intended as in·terlocking parts of another arrangement and using them as raw material, converts them into new and different sounds; then, in its own rhythm and format, it continually reshuffles these new sounds into unusual juxtapositions.
Scientist Meets The Space Invaders, Scientist Encounters Pac-Man, Scientist Rids The World Of The Evil Curse Of The Vampires and Scientist Heavyweight Dub Champion, just some of the series, are all distinct able albums due to the comic stripî sleeve and correlating unique theme, with the Roots Radics band backing each album.
Well, dub is really what you could say a masterpiece of the engineering-- engineers using the recording equipment to bring about musical changes, a musical environment where reggae music is the music what brought forward the remix, or most of what we are hearin' in hip-hop.
