Does music exist in and of itself? Or does it need a listener to make it real? That, in a nutshell, is the problem that philosopher Werner Heisenberg proposed when he was considering the nature of reality back in the mid-1900s. Well actually, he was thinking about atoms, not music. But, as Ean Golden over at DJ Tech Tools has suggested, there’s no reason not to apply Heisenberg’s theories to music. In fact, it can fuel your passion for DJing.

Golden focuses his exploration on this question: why should DJs exist?

Check out how he applies quantum theory to answer that question here!
