Album Notes

The Ancient Solfeggio Tones, described in the book Healing Codes For The biological Apocalypse, have a unique and fascinating numerical structure which makes them very different from the major scale and other common scales. This numerical symmetry may offer health benefits, contributing a sense of spiritual balance when you hear and sing them.

In the six Solfeggio frequencies shown above, you can see the number 3 in the lower left corner. Following the numbers upwards in the leftmost column you can see 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Continuing from the bottom of the next column, the series continues 9, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and the next column 6, 7, 8, 9, 1, 2. The next number would be 3 and thus the series is complete. This simple number game yields some surprisingly meaningful results. For example, a musical Perfect Fourth occurs twice 528:396=4:3, 852:639=4:3) and the Golden Ratio also occurs twice (639:396=71:44, 852:528=71:44). Numerology also plays a part in the Solfeggio’s appeal - reducing each frequency to a single digit by addition (eg. 396 becomes 3+9+6=18, and 1+8=9) produces the numbers 3, 6, and 9, believed to be integral to the healing aspect.

Volume 1 features 7-8 minutes of each tone, multilayered in several octaves using computer synthesis to achieve a rich sound similar to crystal bowls or didjeridoos.
