Bold Inventor

Unlocking Music’s Geometry with Ken Lemons

J.D. Houvener Season 4 Episode 8

What if you could actually see music — not just hear it? 🎵 In this mind-expanding episode of the Bold Inventor Show, host and patent attorney JD Houvener sits down with visionary inventor Ken Lemons, founder of Musical DNA, to explore how a broken hand and a bold idea led to one of the most groundbreaking musical innovations of our time. 🎹🧠

Ken takes us on a journey through his multi-disciplinary background — from oil painting to theater to earning dual music degrees — culminating in the invention of a patented system that visualizes music through rainbow-colored geometry and 3D helix patterns. The result? A revolutionary way to understand music as a language of shapes, intervals, and emotion.

Musical DNA doesn’t just enhance music education — it transforms it. This episode dives into the 29+ patents Ken has earned, why color design patents were critical, and how his technology is now entering classrooms, performance halls, and soon, your smartphone with the launch of the Musical DNA Visualizer app. 📲✨

🎯 What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• 🎶 How music can be decoded through geometry and visual art
 • 🧬 Why Ken’s invention maps music into a 3D helix (like real DNA!)
 • 🧠 How this tech simplifies complex theory for students and musicians alike
 • 🛡️ The role of patents, trademarks, and IP in protecting innovation
 • 🎓 Applications in music education, child development, gaming, and beyond
 • 📈 How Ken built a business around a bold idea and kept evolving

Whether you're a music lover, educator, startup founder, or fellow inventor, this conversation will inspire you to think differently — and maybe even see sound for the first time.
