In this line of thought, human nature adheres to a hermeneutic logic, where the meaning of 
various situations is sought through a dialectical interaction or movement of thought, involving 
emerging onto-epistemic relations. Music follows this nature, and through harmony, seeks to 
maintain a relationship between sounds, rhythms, melodies, psyche, mind, among others, as a 
whole, made possible through dialogical thought. 
Harmony, from music, or hermeneutics from philosophy, represent two sides of the same coin. 
They are based on man's need to maintain an integrative and reflective logic with the possibility 
of building new meanings, starting from a fruitful dialogue endowed with deep reflexivity, com-
plementarity, and recursiveness. Both stances, today, hold a relativism that approaches the past, 
evidencing a neo-renaissance of Greek thought and other ways of thinking, all focused on in-
citing a state of consciousness, a gestalt awakening that allows man to build new interpretations 
of reality and resignify existing ones. 
Transcomplexity: an orchestra between melody and thought 
So far, music has been used by man to recreate the natural world, interpret the socio-cultural 
fabric, and even criticize humanity's path. However, due to its harmonic nature, music focuses 
on the search for the whole, reconnecting with principles, foundations, disciplines, and other 
representations through wonder, curiosity, and in the process weaving a path superior to con-
ventional logics that generates more questions and answers, driven by the uncertain and mul-
tiple nature of reality. 
This search for the whole is also observed in human development and its debate between ex-
planation, understanding, and criticism; it is not about parceling out reality or focusing solely 
on the internal relationships of a context, but emphasizing transcendence. In other words, it 
encourages an approach that must overcome and lean towards transdisciplinarity, where diffe-
rent disciplines relate, blurring paradigmatic barriers, and inciting a state of consciousness, that 
is, a transcendental awakening to the sum of their parts. 
In this line of thought, transcomplexity emerges, a state of consciousness that allows the indi-
vidual to see relationships between different disciplines and guide explanations, understandings, 
and criticisms, all immersed in reality, providing an integral vision of man and his environment. 
What is described focuses on overcoming, according to 
Martínez (2017), naive realism, breaking 
away from reductionist suffocation, and entering a systematic, integral, and ecological logic, 
that is, into a universal and integrative consciousness that advocates new ways of building 
science. But how is transcomplexity visualized from music? 
Transcomplexity in music highlights different ways of writing, describing, interpreting, and tea-
ching music, understanding that there is not just one perception or genre. There are different 
traditions with divergent composition and interpretation characteristics, which, through dialogic 
interaction, can result in new musical manifestations alternative to the canon, without limiting 
themselves to the rational, cultural, emotional, or spiritual.

melody, thought and reality
