Maestro's World was an alternate timeline, created by Maestro. In this timeline music was gone in the first part of the 20th century.
Timeline[]
In 1925, Timothy Drake accidentally allowed Maestro to enter N-Space by playing “the Devil’s Chord”. Maestro managed to claim music as their own and alter the timeline so that humanity, according to Paul McCartney, "started seeing sense" and gave up music.
By 1963, music was almost gone. The Beatles and Cilla Black were producing songs with little melodic value at EMI Recording Studios. Paul McCartney said that the only reason they kept singing was just so they could get a bit of money and settle down and get a proper job. Nevertheless, McCartney and John Lennon still felt that music was in fact their vocation, even though their passion was repressed by Maestro. For a brief moment, Ruby Sunday could bring music back to the world, but Maestro stopped her from doing so.
The same year, the Russian Missile Crisis took place, as Nikita Khrushchev threatened Finland. The Fifteenth Doctor observed that overall the world was darkening.
According to the Doctor, without music the human race went sour. Without any way of expressing a broken heart, they went to war without even knowing why.
By 2024, humankind was gone, and Earth fell into nuclear winter. Aeolian tones, that Maestro considered the purest music of all, was the only sound left on Earth. (TV: The Devil's Chord [+]Doctor Who (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).)
Aftermath[]
The Fifteenth Doctor, Ruby Sunday returned back to 1963 and with the help of John Lennon and Paul McCartney banished Maestro from existence and brought music back to the world. (TV: The Devil's Chord [+]Doctor Who (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).)
