This had to be shared:

Many have a horror of small talk..............and cat (cutesy) pictures

I feel for you, Modwiz. Since we all know your preferences it must look like we are conspiring to drive you out of here.
Like a concerted effort to piss off the Village Wizard.
However, that is not the case here. We just have a majority rule of genuine cat lovers.

Which is your animal of choice, may I ask?
Careful everyone, with the floodgates... Modwiz is a man of moderation.

I have my fun being a curmudgeon about the pictures. I am not faking it, but I will not take myself too seriously about it. I suspect no plot to drive me out and feel nothing but affection. I do not want people to change their ways. I just want to be able to harrumph about it.

I currently live with 5 cats. I am on good terms with all and one cat practically drools on me. I have to watch where I step because he stalks me to be close. If I go into a room, he is often there when I open the door, waiting for me. I like cats, I just find all the pictures of them gooey.

I like animals of all sorts. I exercise that affection by interacting with them. The whole picture thing just escapes me. I think it reminds me of how much emotional bodies are out of balance and the problems that brings the world. Excessive mentality has its own horrors, but genetics are not producing that problem.

I spend 6 months a year in a tent, at the edge of the woods, not some modern cleared campsite. I have animals and insects all around me and sharing space with me. I love it. I feel bad for mosquitoes that come into my tent. They will meet a bad end. Spiders are welcome to any unused corner they want, and have shown great cooperation with me by where they choose to set up. I cannot tell you how often I accidentally handle, or disturb spiders to no ill effect. Some big ones too. I am friends with the animal world. My kind of love is expressed differently. I don't drool on things. Although certain things make me drool.

Didn't sleep for 2 nights, Thursday and Friday. Went to sleep when the sun was coming up. Glad that is over with.


Was able to relax last night and watched this movie. Has a good sound track too.

In all probabilities, that was one item on their long and devious list modwiz. You mention A432, if at all, how might this tie in with the solfeggio frequencies?

UT – 396 Hz – Liberating Guilt and Fear
RE – 417 Hz – Undoing Situations and Facilitating Change
MI – 528 Hz – Transformation and Miracles (DNA Repair)
FA – 639 Hz – Connecting/Relationships
SOL – 741 Hz – Awakening Intuition
LA – 852 Hz – Returning to Spiritual Order

Can different "tunings" bring in some or all of the above, if you get my drift

With Love

I'll bring my guitar, should I tune it to A435?

A=432 . I recently read in a blog that Michael Jackson was aware of the 440 Nazi/NWO tuning. I remember opining here, in this thread, that I would nor be surprised if the record companies would not allow the healing tuning to be used. Before he died Michael was speaking of how evil the record companies were. I wonder if, among their many sins, not allowing Michael to use 432 was one of them?

They don't tie in at all and are in fact an antithesis to what I feel, as in resonate with, is the more biology friendly tuning of 432. 440 creates some stress. It is adrenalizing.

I have replied on more than occasion that I do not like the Solfeggio frequencies. They clash with each other. They do not form a key and terrible disharmonics result in relation to each other. I believe them to be disinformation. I don't care that the proponent has a website and books. That doesn't make him correct. Dennis Leahy, another musician, has also experimented with them and come to the same conclusion as me.

Try another stringed instrument that does not have pre-defined intervals, due to the placement of frets? A harp might be a good test.

Just asking/pondering...

It is not about predefined intervals. I tuned open strings to test it. I think Death Metal groups might find some usage for it. It was truly ugly. I am going to copy the frequencies down and try again soon.

Gimli would have loved it. Dwarves love ham.
I liked it too, although I gagged on the ham.

I want to chew doublemint gum while listening. They used twins in TV advertisements when I was younger.

I'm no musician, not even much of a couch musician. That disclaimer in place, A=432 is soothing and natural sounding to me. After I play guitar in A=432, A=440 sounds much harsher and I find myself tweaking and tweaking to try to get the strings to play nice together.

I just now tried tuning my guitar (which happens to be tuned DADf#ad) to A=417, which means it only had the "A" notes at a Solfreggio pitch. I didn't try tuning the other strings to other Solfreggio frequencies, but I know I would despise anything except possibly open strings and harmonics (not fretted notes and NOT chords - because the intervals would be utterly out of whack for what my brain thinks is musical.

I just ran over to yootoob and tried to see if anyone posted a song with an instrument tuned to those intervals, and could not find any (in a quick search.) The Solfreggio stuff is generally a single tone, or a "new age-y soundscape" background with one or more of the Solfreggio frequencies playing over top. As has happened in the past, (and this may simply be the unlucky tracks I picked), after listening to a handful of different Solfreggio frequencies, I got a mild headache behind my eyes and a dull ache in my occipital lobe - and had to turn it off and run away.

I will be VERY pissed off if, when I leave my body behind, Solfreggio frequencies are the music in the spirit plane. Of course, maybe that's what makes me keep reincarnating: to get away from the damned Solfreggio tones.

Actually, a classical harp is tuned like a piano, and with its colored strings a pianist can find his way around fairly easily, unlike on a violin.

i presume modwiz is referring to the 'well-tempered clavier' which will sound 'about right' in any key but only by tweaking things to make e.g. c natural coincide with b sharp, which normally speaking it shouldn't.

The Solfeggio frequencies listed above list six out of the seven notes of a scale. It is missing the Ti or seventh. A basic chord is the 1,3 and 5 notes. Or, the Do, Mi, Sol. The seem to call Do, Ut. It must make it special . They are the one giving classical names to these frequencies. Now, since the chakras are ideally tuned harmoniously, then these frequencies would have to have a harmonious relationship to each other. The idea that these note live in isolation with no relation to each other sounds really fishy to me. Fraud or ignorance is the likely answer. Again, this is based on them giving these frequencies corresponding classical names.

There is a whole order of "human" that enjoys making fools of people. The New Age is rife with them. This is because new age concepts are based on something holy. The unholy parasites will infect wherever they can. The NA has a terrible immune system. I am one of the lone T-cells, LOL.

I have some Tibetan notes and their frequencies. They are all based on A432.

Given how this conversation is going, I can now get a guess at how Carmody might feel posting some of his stuff.

I am going to drop this conversation until I conduct another test. I have a few mouthfuls of crow here if I get a different answer.

I don’t know that I am taking this discussion anywhere. I am just providing what input I have from a classical perspective, which I am not defending as it is flawed, having at the least had to make compromises. As regards frequencies, I am very much a learner and trying to understand more. So I guess I am posting on several different, possibly discordant frequencies



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solf%C3%A8ge

Ut and the rest come from the first syllables of lines of plainchant – some psalm or other. The main purpose of the sol-fa system was to help develop perfect pitch, which is not a gift that some people have and others not; it is necessary for people like trumpeters, who have to produce the right pitch with their own airstream – more like a singer than an instrumentalist. I know a little about this because I sat in on my son’s trumpet lessons for a couple of years and followed his practice thereafter.

The basic interval is the octave in a 2:1 ratio wherever you position it on the absolute scale. The twelve equal semi-tone divisions is just one way of dividing up the scale, and definitely not the best way, as much of post-serial ‘classical’ music has been at pains to point out.

The article you linked to and what you say in your post all are in accordance. I am specifically addressing the frequencies given in the post by Firrin, though this is not my first exposure to this. I was scolded by Darla Jensen Pierce for daring to opine on NA canon. After all, I have no books or websites. Musical knowledge, a tuner that allows me to tune to any frequency and my ear for harmony are all I have.

These frequencies are the specific ones:

UT – 396 Hz – Liberating Guilt and Fear
RE – 417 Hz – Undoing Situations and Facilitating Change
MI – 528 Hz – Transformation and Miracles (DNA Repair)
FA – 639 Hz – Connecting/Relationships
SOL – 741 Hz – Awakening Intuition
LA – 852 Hz – Returning to Spiritual Order

Here is some logic. Ut or Do has its double frequency as the octave. Remembering that there is a missing Ti here that would precede the octave Ut, we run into a math problem. The octave above the Ut in this case would be 792 Hz. LA would have to be under that frequency. Instead it is over it. This is not cricket. Crooked maybe, LOL. This is a glaring mistake and one meant to go over the head of the unknowing. I am allowing for all kinds of variations within a key structure in this instance but the 6th (LA) note of a scale cannot be higher than the octave unless it is using a 6th frequency from the next octave above, but the number given here does not permit that to be the case.

Having just played some of the notes with my frequency tuner the scale shows it self to be gibberish. By this I mean the note assignments and their names.

Whether the frequencies produce the effects that are claimed, I cannot speak for. However, nonsense in one form from a source makes me suspect other information. That is all I can say about it. I will not state categorically that the notes do not have a beneficial effect. That is not for me to say.

Don't know about you, but this one hurt my ears [some of the strings aren't tuned correctly]. *grimace*

I can see the point though - tuning 6 strings is already a bit much for my patience...

Not saying anything about her playing skills!

I could get lost in morbid fascination with the sickly taste of popular kitsch, which has proliferated in recent decades.
The upper middle class in particular has this taste...in my youth it was Operetta, then I noticed more classical music performances by sexy and sensual fiddlers, but this harp duo really topped the list. I can just see them being spurned on by their Wall Street broker boyfriends. I didn't put it out there because I was endorsing it...more as a test to see what reactions I'd get.

From a culinary standpoint, French frogs (and snails) are already extinct. This is not to say they are by any means extinct in the wild. But any you would get to eat would come from Rumania, Bulgaria or thereabouts.

Full moon is a good time to let it all hang out. Or not. Twins trigger double speak in me.
I promise I won't do that again...at least no more dumb blonde twin harpists in puss-in-boots boots.
So what is the cutting edge music of today? I'll stick with what Carmody's listening to for now,
if and when I feel like listening to anything at all, other than the noises of nature around here. Our bird songs morning concert is about to start any minute....
