There much to update at this point in early October with OCTAVES music releases, Studio Shangri-La artwork, and publications.
Let’s begin with the new sound therapy / medicinal music on Octaves, based on known healing frequencies, with much more to explore in that area.
Both “The Lyre Of Light,” with its 7 healing frequencies and Fibonacci sequence oscillations, and “Harmonic Halo 432 hz” with delta wave oscillations, are multichannel pieces. Being there are multiple oscillators – and with the Halo spatial panning – the “Multimodal Resonance Therapy” design goes beyond binaural into the multidimensional.
The sine wave Lyre spans from 432 hz to 1080 hz and the oscillations cover the brainwave spectrum from delta to gamma. And the Halo has an interesting spatial and sonic layout, alternating sine tones with pink noise, and oscillating synergestically with the delta range 4, 3 and 2.
The health benefits of sound therapy and brainwave entrainment continue to be demonstrated, documented and improved. Another inspiration is Cymatics: A Study Of Wave Phenomena & Vibration by Hans Jenny. Ultimately this could prove a way of synthesizing the elements.
In my studies and experimentation, I have noticed both the phenomena of entrainment, with flashing lights (for plastic degradation), and pattern formation with frequencies. There is certainly a treasure trove of more discovery and implementation.
In other music news “Electric Echoes” the cosmic tech opera has arrived at the next entry checkpoint for the 2025 Grammy Awards. After screening, it has been placed in the Alternative category. And that it is, a fusion of genres and concepts. The 6 movements are still an opera though. Hopefully the Grammy voting members will recognize and appreciate the vision and subject matter, of personifying all levels of life in a conversation about evolution and cosmic community. And also the references to the traditional form.
More entries from Octaves are on the horizon, having reached a point of development and experience at which this feels very natural. Awards are not the point of making the music; music is a beautiful part of life, yet it feels great to have goals and other achievements of success to aim for. Goals keep things in motion.
Speaking of Entrainment, here’s another new techno / electro release with a spoken word vocal that celebrates frequency, creativity and the influence of positive power. Interestingly, and purposefully, most of it was made on the train.
Continuing on the train and transport theme, recently addition to the portfolio include more for the MBTA prints collection. This began as just something fun to try, making abstracted photo combinations of the train signs and symbols and editing them to look like ink prints. These new ones are: Red Line Capstone, Train Lines Mod, and Boston Hope Panel. These are available direct, through TurningArt and Saatchiart. “Mod” or “Modulo” could be used to describe these, as the result of dividing these colorful images into each other.
Lastly, the science fiction series Awasis continues with new chapters on Kindle Vella, the latest one “Animal Uprising” is a statement against animal exploitation, yet also an otherworldly romp that features quantum teleportation for a cause.
