The Beauty of Degraded Art: Why We Like Scratchy Vinyl, Grainy Film, Wobbly VHS & Other Analog-Media Imperfection "Whatever you find weird, ugly, or nasty about a medium will surely become its signature," writes Brian Eno in his published diary A Year with Swollen Appendices. "CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit — all these will be cherished as soon as they can be avoided." Eno wrote that in 1995, when digital audio and video were still cutting-edge enough to look, sound, and feel not quite right yet. But when DVD players hit the market not long thereafter, making it possible to watch movies in flawless digital clarity, few consumers with the means hesitated to make the switch from VHS. Could any of them have imagined that we'd one day look back on those chunky tapes and their wobbly, muddy images with fondness? Or as Eno puts it, we want to hear "the sound of failure."

Binaural Beats vs. Isochronic Tones | EntheoNation Binaural Beats vs. Isochronic Tones What are brain entrainment technologies? If you are looking to accelerate your neural capacities and optimize your meditation, then you’ve no doubt encountered one of the many brain entrainment technologies that have hit the market over the past couple of decades. Things like isochronic tones, binaural beats, and minaural beats, just to name a few, are opening up new avenues for people to sync their brain waves to a more meditative, relaxed, focused, or high performance state. These tools are providing opportunities for people to experience a variety of different brainwave states, and purportedly with more ease and swiftness than with just a regular sitting meditation practice. It’s not just meditative states that brain entrainment technologies help induce, they can also increase concentration for studying, or help people to effortlessly enter deep sleep and dreaming. Binaural beats and isochronic tones: Which one is better? About the author, Jennifer
Ultimate Isochronic Brainwave Generator | Online & Free ♥ I have ADHD and this tone is the best tool I found to help me work on my thesis. The regular low vibration has really helped me focus and sit still for longer stretches of time. It almost feels like it's a hypnotic tone that syncs your heart with your brain in a way that eliminates external 'noise' and draws you in whichever activity you're engaged in. Wonderful series! Thank you! ♥ This help we stay focus during long working session. ♥ Makes someone sleepy fast! ♥ I feel more aware of my surroundings and more focused. ♥ Nearly gave myself a headache; heartbeat was becoming much more noticeable too. ♥ The settings I'm using are making me feel terrified! ♥ I was feeling kind of lonely, stressed and a little sad, but now I don't really... anything anymore. ♥ Help falling to sleep and helps having a good sleep even over a short period of time. ♥ If you feel powerless, activate this and hear some other music and after a bit you should feel very hyperactive! ♥ This is terrible! ♥ Lucid dream!
How to easily convert any music to 432hz and why A frequency is the number of movements up and down per second, called hertz. Energy is the ability to move, it is what fuels the movement up and down. 432hz tuning simply means that the note A in the middle of the musical scale will vibrate at 432hz, then all other notes along the scale are tuned accordingly. All octaves of the A note will be doubles or halves of that 432hz frequency (27, 54, 108, 216, 432, 864, etc) Here are various cosmic measurements, where we find the exact same numbers : Saturn polar diameter : 108,000 km Saturn orbital period : 10,800 day Venus orbital distance : 108 million km Earth orbital velocity : 108,000 km/hour Sun’s diameter is approximately 108 times the Earth diameter Earth distance from the Sun : 108 solar diameters Moon distance from the Earth : 108 lunar diameters Moon diameter : 2160 miles Earth meridian circumference : 21,600 nautical miles 25920 years of the galactic cyle/procession of the equinox : 432 x 60, 60 being at the basis of how we measure time Voila !
The Sacred Geometry Of Music The Sacred Geometry Of Music by Andrew Lorimer Music uses the laws of vibration to manifest aurally what exists at the center of everything. Into our reality springs a non-visual harmonic law that is universal. The notes and intervals of music speak directly to the chakra centers and causes them to vibrate in harmony to the vibration of a string or vocal chords, speakers moving through the air, or the sound of someone’s lips making a farting noise through a metal tube. Clock Harmonisphere The mathematics of the harmonisphere are amazing. When we measure the same chords on the harmonisphere, the seven chords have the same mirrored combinations as the piano:
Pythagore ou les origines de la gamme - ResMusicaResMusica Plus de détails Tout au long des siècles, les rapports entre les arts et les mathématiques dans le monde occidental furent fréquents. Parfois les mathématiques offrirent un langage permettant de décrire et de mieux comprendre certains aspects des arts ; parfois, au contraire, les arts introduisirent d’eux-mêmes des éléments mathématiques. Il arrive que ce dialogue interdisciplinaire s’inscrive au sein même de l’esthétique artistique.Le lien entre musique, danse et mathématiques se retrouve également dans des questions esthétiques, compositionnelles et chorégraphiques. Pour accéder au dossier complet : Musique, danse et mathématiques Avant Pythagore, la musique et ses notes étaient chantées intuitivement sans fondement théorique dans le monde occidental. Pour les savants et les philosophes grecs de l’époque, l’observation des lois du monde devait conduire à deviner les intentions divines.

Everything You Should Know About Sound This post is part of Mini Week, where I’m posting a new mini post but not actually mini as it turns out every weekday this week. I’ve always been a little confused about sound. So for “Tuesday’s” “mini” post, I decided to do something about that. We think of sound as something we hear—something that makes noise. But in pure physics terms, sound is just a vibration going through matter. The way a vibration “goes through” matter is in the form of a sound wave. But that’s not how sound waves work. A sound wave is more like an earthworm situation: Like an earthworm, sound moves by compressing and decompressing. Sound starts with a vibration of some kind creating a longitudinal wave through matter. That’s what sound looks like—except picture an expanding ripple of spheres doing that. So instead of a curvy snake wave, sound is a pressure wave, which causes each piece of the air to be at either higher-than-normal pressure or lower-than-normal pressure. How about the speed of sound? Anyway— Pitch
What Music Really Is, What Is It, and What It Is Not By Bo Constantinsen, author of WhatMusicReallyIs.com The “Research” section on this website [WhatMusicReallyIs.com] represents the in-the-making process of the What Music Really İs manual as an interactive presentation, book, and featured documentary.

Natural Music And Where All Music Comes From By Bo Constantinsen, author of WhatMusicReallyIs.com Music Comes from the Harmonic Series The most common and widely accepted definition of music includes three main elements: rhythm (timing), timbre (nuance) and pitch (height). Traditional music theory has been concerned with breaking down and analyzing these elements, giving definitions to established musical practices through them, and using them as basis for theoretical contrivances meant to standardize practice. This research goes the opposite way: it looks at the core, the source of all musical elements common to all cultures and explores what music is by tracing direct correlations to it, without layering concepts or giving circular references. It is a fact that all musical elements come from The Harmonic Series. rhythm is an interplay of Descending Harmonic (integer) numbers;timbre represents the filtering and modulation of Ascending Harmonics;pitch defines tones and scales derived from (or inspired by) both Harmonic Series.
