The focus of this experimental sound piece is 1080 Hz, specifically a combination of 8010, 1080 (x2), 801, 108, 80, 10 & 8 hz with all the numerical parameters (such as Low Frequency Oscillators) matching combinations of the digits 1080.
There are 8 channels, and interestingly, 1080 degrees is the sum of internal angles of regular octagons.
There are two versions, one preconfigured and the other one is a live version.
From “The Lyre Of Light” project, this is the last ‘string’ of the lyre, which has 7 frequencies: 432, 528, 693, 741, 852, 963 & then 1080 hz.
The Lyre Of Light is the guiding concept of an instrument tuned to some healing, cleansing tones. Really, I think all frequencies are purposeful and amazing.
Each of these are known to have specific properties. 1080 Hz is associated with clarity and focus, or the third eye or mind’s eye — that is, what we can visualize in our minds or imaginations.
This is experimental sound and ventures to be cleansing or clearing, and perhaps even medicinal.
The sound pieces are an exploration of space, geometry and relationships.

The release date is officially 2.21.25, but these are both already on the YouTube channel. This is a more unusual but nonetheless fascinating projec, decidedly atonal but not unpleasantly so, in my opinion, given supposed medicinal influences. I certainly appreciate this exploration of pure sound and space much more given studies in engineering, optics, chemistry, cymatics and more. When you understand more about these interactions, the overtones and pulsations become even more interesting. Or, one can just feel it in the said third eye. What a good time for some clearance, to make room for positive visions!
An interesting follow-up question is: What does 1080 Hz create in a cymatics experiment set-up? Such as, with sand on a reverberating plate.
The effect in video footage here is created with water, glass and light.
