Here's from Chapter II - "Esoteric Music" from the book The Mysticism of Sound and Music by Hazrat Inayat Khan:

"All actions and movements made in the visible and invisible world are musical.  That is:  they are made up of vibrations pertaining to a certain plane of existence" (pg. 9).

Pertaining to Oriental Music:
"Its inventor was Mahadeva, the Lord of Yogis, and its great performer Parvati, his beloved consort.  Krishna, the incarnation of God, was an expert musician who charmed both worlds by the music of his flute, making the Yogis dance" (pg. 9).

"Fine vibrations through action become grosser in their degrees, which form the different planes of existence, ending in the physical manifestation" (pg. 9).

"Spirit descends into matter by the law of vibration, and matter may also ascend toward spirit" (pg. 9).

Now we have Krishna appearing in the 24fps in Vineland:

"...the task of trying to keep everybody 'happy' fell to Krishna" (pg. 198).

"...it was always Krishna who found the right music" (pg. 198).

"...it was Krishna who led everybody to the bathroom and served as counselor for as long as it took" (pg. 198).
