Actually, I think this Zen Artist is better known as Mad Professor and I
doubt that he was referring to our rather limited conception of linear time.
All Dub certainly did not come from King Tubby. It came from the
shamanist-rhythmic spheres of the witchdoctor, which in African culture is
the source of the mystical experience - that which allows the use of trance
in healing. This rhythmic trance was and is very similar in structure to
modern techno music. Both forms are uniquely intertwined - one reflects the
effect of trance, the other of the dance. It is not coincidental that modern
electronic dub music ala Basic Channel, Chain Reaction and Rhythm & Sound
camps have a strong basis in mystical music - the reduction in sound
structure is their extension into the spirit world.
The dub was, is and ever shall be...
