Came across this video and thought it was worth posting as the start of a discussion thread on sound & music.. This is a brief overview of sound & music and the work of Dr. John Reid, who invented the cymascope, as well as the mathematics of tuning and disharmonious frequencies.. This really resonated with me (pun intended) because I’m extremely sensitive to disharmonious sound and it’s been a challenge through life to cope in everyday situations.. Looking forward to the day that we change all that.. (Really, does anyone want to hear motors and sirens and alarm clocks and tires on concrete and all the other disharmony anymore??).. ? ..And when you hear really great music, it’s glorious, no??.. ..(Video is 21 minutes long).. Would love to see other videos others might have on the work of Dr. Reid as well, or anything related..

Thanks for starting this thread, Kev. I’m also very sensitive to disharmonious sound. Hence my song “Chooin’ on It”, which you can hear at http://solari.com/HuldaNystrom. In singing it to “random” folks (at stores, speaking with customer service/tech support etc.), I’ve found that 24/7 VERY LOUD train “toots” are widespread, not only in California, but elsewhere. All part of ’em “softening us up”, eh? I often sing it when I hear them toots, laughing at Them instead of feeding ’em anger. I’ve been asked “Who are They?”, which I leave the questioner to decide for themselves.

I thought this was worth posting.. Derek over at Electroculture Life put together a good overview of Solfeggio frequencies and bio-resonance and sound healing..

@Kev, that was really good! I’ve got to ask…why do you think they chose “Gimme Shelter” as the background tune for a lot of the video? Anyone got any thoughts?

[Kev]

I’ll have to listen again, as I don’t explicitly know the song “Gimme Shelter”, at least off the top of my head.. I’ve heard the title, and so have heard the song.. But yeah, as I was watching the video, the music did jump out at me and got my attention.. I think I said something along the lines of, “hmm, constant music playing there, and interesting choice”.. It seemed deliberate, for sure, and jumped out.. Very interesting that, and interesting that you clued into it as well.. Clever..

I’ve actually exchanged emails with the videography from this channel Electroculture Life.. He was intending to make an Electroculture documentary last summer featuring experimenters around the world.. We shot each other messages and I gave him the link to the documentation on my experiment, but never heard back after a while, and I see no documentary came about.. But, that’s a different thing..

Back to sound frequencies.. I really wanna get the book by the guy who was featured in the video.. Forget his name, but he was speaking/giving a presentation, and calling out the controlling forces on their changing the tuning frequencies (and mandating it by law), in order to F-up the human biofield and psyche.. No doubt about that!..

[Kev]

Watched it again.. The guy that wrote the book was Leonard Horowitz.. And yeah I think Gimme Shelter was just a good-sounding musical choice, with good energy.. That’s how I experience music, how it touches me emotionally and somatically, literally how it feels in my body, especially through chord progressions and such.. That was just a feel-good choice that has uplifting movement..

I love Tibetan singing bowls.. One of my favorite things in life, but have never been able to afford them.. Would love to get a set in the Solfeggio tuning.. That would be everything.. I mean *everything*.. 🤩

Speaking of such things, do you have the experience where you hear certain sounds and they just really strike you and especially impress upon you??.. I was at a garden center years ago (around 2005), and they had some wind chimes for sale that were just stunning.. A set of 5 (maybe 6) big pipes that were each tuned really nicely and relative to each other as well.. The intervals and chords the set produced were beyond sublime.. And they were large pipes, and so were pitched in the range of lower tones, which is where I live (and so they weren’t high-pitched and piercing and screechy).. It’s rare to find wind chimes that are super special, but these were so profound for me, I still haven’t forgotten them.. There’s a set of chimes in someone’s front yard in my ‘hood that I sometimes walk by and stand a listen for a while.. They’re soooo nice, with good intervals, and find them especially captivating, and it always takes me back to the garden center chimes!..

Anyhoo, I should start a Go Fund Me to get some Tibetan bowls.. Ha!

Oh, I meant to say, speaking of Tibet.. I heard it said once that the toning and chanting that Tibetan monks do can be a targeting of frequencies that they project into a person’s body and literally clear energy blockages or anything stuck in that body that’s festering disease, and they basically dissolve it with sound resonance.. It’s always also struck me the type of music they make sometimes, which includes using those long pipe horns (like you see in the Alps), along with metallic cymbals.. They just seem to randomly blow these sounds and clang the cymbals, and it might seem random and discordant to most, and noisy and unpleasant, but not to me.. I like it and it’s always made sense.. Seems to be something to do with matching unhealthy energy patterns and breaking them up — almost like homeopathy — “like cures like”, or at the least the law of similars.. 🤓

Steve Young?

[Kev]

Looked it up — Rolling Stones

[maryschurr]

Yep, I had to look it up too. I knew it was the Rolling Stones, but couldn’t remember the name. It was one of those tunes from way back, that you just recognize, at least at my age. Now they play them all in grocery stores and such, lol! Based on the topic it made me wonder why that tune, was there something about it that fit in with the frequency topic? That was why I asked.
Oh, I love chimes and I do understand what you mean. There are certain sounds that stick with you, just like tunes. I always had a few when I was single and they were not inexpensive back then. My husband hates chimes. 😢. A neighbor of his had some that were probably that high pitch you mentioned and he would try to nap outside and they would always wake him up…so he said. So, no chimes currently. But, give me time…I am gradually winning him over to things day by day!
And, what you mentioned about the monks, that is what they discuss in the video, so I would certainly rather have a monk do that than many of the modern surgical way of doing thing today using frequency! Too much $$$ involved in medicine today. But, love hearing that…I did not know.

[Kev]

You know, all this talk about wind chimes reminds me of something I’ve *always* wanted to do, which is make my own wind chimes, or musical chimes in general.. The chimes used in symphonic music are one of my favorite sounds on Earth.. Can’t get enough of that.. You know, the brass pipes that are suspended from strings & struck with a mallet..

I’ve also seen brass plates suspended from strings and struck with a mallet.. That’s an incredible sound.. (Photos of both below)

So now I’m thinkin’ that constructing my own chimes and musical plates and healing frequency situation is the way to go.. I can control what frequencies I use and what combinations, and ultimately will probably be much much cheaper.. And, I can experiment with different types of metals — brass, copper, steel, etc.. Hmmm, all I need are a source of metal pipes & plates, metal-cutting tools (hacksaw and/or circular saw — diamond-tipped?), power drill to drill holes in metal, and a sound frequency meter.. Lol.. Yep, put that on the list of 5472 things I want to get to doing.. 🤠

Thanks to Brother Max for introducing me (us?) to Randy Masters, and his work in coming to understand sound and sound frequencies and physical healing with sound & music.. Superb.. (The conversation is 1 hour 20 minutes):

Had to share this.. this is beautiful and incredible to me, something I’ve never seen — a drone flute.. A flute with 2 air channels.. one of them has one keyhole on it, and can play 2 suspended tones (i.e. the drone), depending on the hole being covered or open.. Love the potential of this type of instrument and how it could be switched up to include a wider selection of drone harmonics (more than one drone hole).. ..Imagine a small ensemble of these types of flutes, and how that would feel.. 🙂

Conversation between Eileen McKusick and John Stuart Reid (inventor of the cymascope), regarding sound healing.. Big take-away for me is how beneficial low-frequency sound is, which affirms my gravitation to low tones, basslines, the fact that I played tuba, and large singing bowls and such, etc.. Really good.. (51min)..

Here’s an offering for you — Persian Santoor music.. Beautiful and sublime.. I want one, and this is now on the list of instruments to go into my sound & energy healing center.. What a glorious instrument this would be to play.. 🤩

The SVARAM Sound Experience — an organization that crafts new and unique instruments and sound experiences.. Fascinating stuff on their YT channel.. Here’s a 30-minute tour of their Sound Garden.. The Bow Harp and Storm Drum are phenomenal.. I want that Bow Harp!..

The Tap Tong too.. and their Lithophones (basically, xylophones made out of stone plates).. and the Friction Stone.. So many ideas for instrumentation.. And check out the hanging curtain of chimes right at the 22:52 mark — sine waves!!.. 🤩

In the meantime, here’s a project we can ALL do — making a small piano out of popsicle sticks.. and no worries if the keys aren’t precisely tuned, just work with what you got.. 😉 (2min30sec)..

Okay, more from SVARAM.. This is a 7-minute tour of their Sonorium, a sound healing center.. Outstanding, especially the hanging plate chimes (my favorite!). and, check it out — a healing bed where the bed itself is a resonator box (sorta like a large acoustic guitar), with strings on the underside that get plucked.. Outstanding!.. Who wants to help create something like this??.. I got ideas, lot of ideas.. 🤠
