At this point I haven’t set up my own rig to photograph and make clips of the music I make for One Mind Live, but as you can see from this Vimeo link “Sonic Water Documentation” the study of cymatics is reasonably easy to do…and fascinating! The reason I want to do this is to compliment my own understanding of the sounds I’m creating for meditational and guided soundscapes and take images (like the one featured above of piano notes by cymascope.com) by vibrating water. Release, this month’s composer’s choice, contains a number of technical elements specifically aimed to compliment Lori Deschene’s “Letting Go” theme for the month of February. The Key of D, according to Vedic and yoga science, is attuned to the Sacrum area of your body. It is the second chakra and is characterised by two key words for “Letting Go”: Flow and Flexibility. The beats per minute or Tempo is at 50, below the resting heart rate but at the top end of a sleeping heart rate. Relaxed yet awake. The cycles or completed wave forms in the musical structure average about 14 cycles per minute which is just above the breathing rate of a sleeping personRelease by Stephen Fearnley
Power Up Your Spoken Word with G – by Stephen Fearnley
This months composer’s choice ‘Clouds Passing By’ has been written for you to sing to… Start for 3 minutes. Then try for 5. If you go for 15 minutes you will feel enlivened ! Winter skies here. Cold dry westerly winds. Happily rugged up at home watching the clouds scud across the sky and reviewing this months’ composer’s choice Clouds Passing By with my headphones on. The Key of G. Throat Chakra. Mixolydian scale. Sounds fancy . So why the throat chakra ? We all know that ancient and modern energy medicine has clearly pointed out that an imbalance in the 5th chakra can manifest all kinds of throat related maladies. It is also the zone of self expression and speaking the truth .So what does this actually mean ? The throat is an amplifier of sound. It emanates compression waves in space traditionally associated with truth, freedom of expression, with speaking your will – as well as manifesting your will. Sound organises and disorganises matter. It does not require many words to speak the truth Chief Joseph, Nez Perce (1840-1904) This months composer’s choice Clouds Passing By has been written for you to sing to.

The Magic of 432 – by Stephen Fearnley
Vibration underpins all matter in the universe. No matter can exist without sound and vibration. cymascope.com Yes, it’s official. One Mind Live is going 432! From now on, there will be a difference in all the music I compose for our meditations. And, as the weeks go by, I will be remastering ALL the music to date – for the radio and the Composer’s Choice – and rolling it out. So what is this magic 432? Why get so exited about it? It’s all about vibrations – specifically the ones that fall into a frequency that measures 432 HERTZ. It’s called “scientific tuning”; It is a measurable thing that instruments and orchestras around the world used to use – an ancient tuning system. It was quantified by Pythagoras, though used thousands of years before he was able to measure it, right up to 1953, when for no reason that makes sense it was universally changed up to 440 Hz and became a world standard. Everything you hear on CD and on the radio and on streaming music stations is 440Hz. The difference its almost imperceptible – but the difference is organic and real. 432 Hz is a mathematical harmonic ofThe Magic of 432 – by Stephen Fearnley
