What is a filter?

Probably the most popular filter and best choice is the activated carbon filter. This filter removes almost all pollutants, microplastics, heavy metals, organic compounds, chlorine, and bad taste from the water. But it’s not about that…

Think bigger and let’s take a closer look at this idea:
The Cosmic Filter Theory

It states that there is a kind of filter, a bottleneck, that must be passed before a civilization can reach the level that humanity has achieved. This bottleneck would be a challenge that makes it extremely difficult to reach this level. The theory of the “Great Filter” states that there is an extremely difficult hurdle on the path to developing an advanced, interstellar civilization that makes life almost impossible to overcome. This theory is a possible explanation for the Fermi paradox, i.e., the lack of evidence for extraterrestrial life. The filter could represent the emergence of life in the past or self-destruction through technology in the future. Another possibility is that the advancement and expansion of a civilization automatically leads to developments that normally result in the self-extinction of that civilization. In this case, other civilizations would have failed the Great Filter so far, and humanity would still have it ahead of it.

Regardless, if there is a filter or bottleneck that is decisive for something completely new and great, then the setting of the filter or the effect of the filter is decisive for everything that comes after. If you adapt this to music, does the sound through the filter make the change or even the game changer of the song?

If we are already searching for answers to the filter in the universe, here too we should consider an unusual filter effect. In astrophotography, cosmic filters are used for detailed sky observations. The dual-band filter is a high-performance narrowband interference filter that improves the visibility of certain celestial phenomena. It precisely isolates the wavelengths of hydrogen-alpha (H-alpha) and oxygen III (O-III), which are commonly found in nebulae, allowing you to see better-defined stars and intricate details for stunning astrophotography.
When fog lifts and clarity becomes visible through the filter, it is almost a metaphor for the musical effect of the high / low-cut filter or phaser.

Filter statistics is a mathematical process that filters sets of arbitrary objects. Filter software is a function that uses/processes only a specific subset of existing input data. So what the output after the bottleneck?

For detail example a low pass Filter: Cutoff frequency a fundamental concept in signal processing and electronics, is the point at which a system begins to significantly attenuate the signal power, thus shaping how we perceive and interact with electronic signals in music.

Or an “Phaser” is a musical effect for sound modification through phase shifting or a fictional weapon system from the science fiction series “Star Trek.” In a musical context, it is mainly used for guitars, but also for keyboards and voices to create a circular sound impression. An electronic effect or function that splits a signal, phase-shifts the copy, and then mixes it back with the original signal. It creates a repeating, oscillating sound effect that can add greater depth and movement to the sound.

Significance for people and music: Whether the filter lies behind us or still ahead of us is crucial: if it lies ahead of us, our future is at risk because we may not survive it, but in dance music, especially disco house, the bottleneck creates the typical French house sound, which is definitely behind the filter, thanks to the French house scene of the 2000s.

Three cheers for this effect:
Motown sound * dance house * French house = NU disco
