I do agree that 'programming' can be used as an excuse for creative issues, and also to defend our own opinions. I feel though (well, I know) that music that is being widely promoted has an energy that is useful for the illuminati.
I have done research on how just toned (natural toning) and measured/tempered toned (tones adjusted to fit within certain frequencies) have different effects. The state of music in the Western world, regardless of your intention, is based on using a system of theory that has a specific effect on the ear of the listener and player. If I am being a bit obtuse here, I mean that the Illuminati have created a system of musicality where certain tonal pitches are used, (mostly), and as all tone affects mind-pattern, this system imprints the mind with the level of frequency.
Urm: tonality has been changed because the note "A" now has a standardized pitch where in past centuries it was variable. This means that musical notation and frequency is standardized, making our minds more controllable. Just tones mean toning according to natural harmonics. The measure tone scale is created by taking to octave (unison) sound, and fitting all the other notes in between with even gaps (mathematically speaking) by flattening them slightly fro their true pitch. The piano is a prime example. Instrumnts and voices that can adjst their tuning (it is only a minimal difference) can of course overcome this, but we are trained to hear these tones and replicate them in our environments constantly.
The ancient cultures knew that different modes of music actually create different effect. Also, with just toned music, you cannot transpose in the same way, as the harmonics change completely. So, our knowledge of the power of music has been stifled.
Therefore, all music created within the current 'norm' of musical expression (i.e. measured tonality and western "normal" musical sounds) are part of 'programming'. We are brought up with these tones from pre-birth, so it is deeply imprinted on us. I would like to move beyond this and into pure tone, but it is actually a fairly long process of identifying mind-patterns and impritns associated with this energy.
When people are 'programmed' it is their own doing - a result of their mind-pattern reflection needs. I don't think it's bad... however, we have to be honest that the Illuminati have been controlling knowledge for Eons now, and there are esoteric levels of musical expression not made available to the general public.
I have also investigated the connections between musica and sexual expression/ritual, and with astrological diagrams. In addition I translate my music as archetypes, consider the colours of all my words, work to create sentences theat corespond to DNA activation sequences, and utilise animal/hyperspace frequencies to adjust my voice tones. It is a work in progress, but I hope to infuse this inforamtion into my own music.
I think programming can be thought of as the areas of ourselves where we do not think independantly, and instead rely on what we have been taught to beleive and know. When we explore beyond those boundaries we uncover knowledge far beyond what we may have considered. I can't comment on any band/group in particular as I don't know their personal process: but I do feel that overall the music industry in great need of deep change and innovation to bring it to a whole new level of experience.
