dear friends,

and of course this article from our good friend nick at lunar planner;
planetary harmonics in light, sound & brain wave frequencies

be well, be love.

the infrared frequencies of dna bases, as science and art
susan alexjander, m.a.
abstract
in 1988 the author and biologist dr. david deamer collaborated on a science/art
project which consisted of measuring the vibrational frequencies of the four dna
base molecules, translating them into 'sound,' programming them into a yamaha
synthesizer and using this tuning system as the basis for original compositions
entitled sequencia (1990 and '94 cd). the realization of biological, infrared
frequencies into sound has resulted in unusual insights into the harmonic fabric
of dna, and reactions from listeners suggest that our bodies may have a way of
recognizing their own electromagnetic patterns through the resonance of tone.
"see deep enough, and you see musically;
the heart of nature being everywhere music,
if you can only reach it."
thomas carlyle
it is likely that something unusual is being communicated directly through the
combinations and ratios of spectral music. the descriptive adjectives one hears
most often are: soothing, comfortable, a feeling of spaciousness, expansion.
sequencia is not "new age" or demonstration music, nor was it composed it to
"heal" anyone. it was written because that is what a composer does in the world;
write music. but after ten years of hearing unique reactions and virtually no
complaints from those who hear these strange tunings for the first time, one
cannot help but wonder what is going on. some listeners admit that they never
(or hardly ever) listen to music because it 'interferes with what is going on in
their heads' or is too invasive. however, they love, even crave, these dna
sounds. about one in every 4 or 5 persons has a deep, almost devotional
response. movement teachers love it, saying their students respond deeply. would
people react in the same way to compositions employing 60
random, microtonal combinations? who knows? and certainly there are endless
styles of tonal arrangement, given the same musical materials to begin with. but
these particular dna ratios, originating in light, are profoundly arresting to
the ear. this first wakes up the nervous system, puts it on alert. what follows
in sound is then allowed to enter our psyches on a deep level. people report
feelings of connectedness, familiarity. "i feel right at home," they say. it is
tempting to speculate that the body is recognizing itself, and is communicating
this to the psyche.
