N. Senada

N. Senada (1907-1993) was a Bavarian composer and music theorist who formulated the "Theory of Obscurity" and the "Theory of Phonetic Organization". It is speculated that N. Senada wasn't a real person, but he was conjured up by The Residents. Other rumors speculating that N. Senada was Captain Beefheart or even the wellknown avant-garde composer and instrument-designer Harry Partch, whose musical influences are quite obvious in early Residents works.
