The Secessionist Method of Composition is a system of thought instigated by the precepts of the Kaluza-Klein, Superstring, Supergravity and M-Theories. It is fueled by the principle that all the dimensions that hold up music can be factorized down to three parent dimensions: the Cognitive Dimension, the Oscillatory Dimension and the Spatial Dimension. To arrive at the conclusions that uphold the Secessionist Method of Composition, a deductive technique that incorporates art theory, philosophy and science was employed to mathematically intervene all three dimensions in order to formulate a doctrine that was able to scientifically prove that the primal powers of every preponderant theoretical proposition in music could be sustained within a common space-time, while retaining a plausible aesthetic inference. Its main propeller: The Secessionist Manifesto, labels these interventions (Abstract Tonality, Abstract Bitonality, Polysuspension and Dodecametrics) as the supreme solvents in which the limits of non-improvisation and the withdrawal from planned intention (the secessionist discourse) may be manifested. The Secessionist Method of Composition was devised by Antonio Quijano by coherently interlocking a series of philosophical and scientific precepts (Suprematism, Fredkin’s Paradox, Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle, and Gödel’s Theorem) in order to attain a logical description of the mechanisms that define an art form which borders the ceilings of human aural perception.
