A fellow coworker (who knows music is my passion) suggested I do something in regards to sound vibrations from 432 - 528Hz for it's "healing" frequencies (for all kinds of patients in need). Of course, I had no idea what he was talking about and briefly Googled it..........which led me to Solfeggio Frequencies and then The Sacred Sounds Scale.
 
From the little I've read, it seems to be a myth......and of course a lot it (technical stuff), just flew over my cuckoos nest.
 
What say ye, truth or myth?

I have no doubt certain arrangements of tonal frequencies can have calming (and other) effects on human physiology. Whether these folks have cracked some code to find some particularly helpful combo IDK.
 
What I DO know is if I am completely flipping the hell out and need to calm myself I can put on a professionally performed recording of the Bach Cello Suites and the murderous rage subsides.
 
Then of course there is the infamous "Brown Note"... but let's not go there.

This was the link he forwarded to me (which triggered the rest): http://www.magnificentu.com/vibrational-medicine-energy-healing/

Also perhaps relevant... when I was a young street kid one of my buddies brought me up to the Krishna temple for their weekly vegetarian feast (open to the public... awesome food). We hung out for the ceremony after which was just a whole bunch of people in a large gymnasium type room and the temple doods started doing their chants and whatnot accompanied by these little hand held brass bell things. Those bells and the way they rung them (which was VERY precise and obviously took tons of practice) were extremely soothing and calming.
 
Of course I wasn't about to shave my head and start wearing a bed sheet and was mostly there for the food and a new experience but as a musician those bells and their effects were very fascinating to me.

Cue eph.

Or Pedro.
 

Actually, cue me.  I've known about and have MANY MANY notes and mp3's regarding the Solfeggio Frequencies, the Sacred Sounds Scale, etc. (mostly because of all the self-improvement stuff I've done for over 40 years and, of course, it was talked about during my PhD work).  As far as I'm concerned, the jury is still out.  Above and beyond what you've read, there are also notes for each major organ of the body as well (see Hindu chakras for example).  I've seen some interesting things, but won't definitively say that there's much beyond the placebo effect going on... (More testing is needed!)
 
The Brown Note however, I do know something about.  The guy who used to run the Whole Brain Learning Institute down in Southern California (he passed away about 20 years ago) had a huge sound studio where he created all of his brain/mind tapes.  I got to see it when I took a class there to get a certificate in accelerated learning.  Anyway, he had a bunch of scientists who were skeptics over so he brought them into the studio, plugged his ears, and played the Brown Note at a very high power level (it's a pretty low note).  All but one confirmed what can happen (the one had JUST gone to the bathroom before entering the studio).  No, they were NOT amused!  
 
All of that said, the following is AWESOME and (as it says) tuned to A = 432 Hz.
 

1. Pick a frequency, any frequency at random.
 
2. Go looking for "natural" occurrences of said frequency, or multiples of it or something. Make sure you give yourself some margin for error.
 
3. You will inevitably find some!
 
4. Congratulations! The frequency you selected in #1 is a sacred and magical "universal frequency"! 
 
5. You couldn't have really selected it at random - your brain must have been tuned into this universal magic frequency and that's how you knew to pick that particular frequency! Wow!!!!
 

Drew's a woo woo expert!  Who knew???

lol... yup.
 
Semi OT... I just mentione this to Baps the other day but don't think I've stated it elsewhere. The old live of the floor recording of my old band (which I have been wrangling with/whining about foooorever it seems) is in an oddball tuning. Since I want to/am overdubbing all the bass and guits this posed a bit of a problem (amongst many) at first being a "beginner".
 
The band was SUPPOSED to always be downtuned a half step (so G# "440" instead of A 440). However I always just tuned to the bassist who didn't have a tuner (but I did) and because until things started sounding totally wonked and his bass kept it's tuning rather well we'd let it drift. Really we only ever tuned him up every six months or so.
 
I had THOUGHT we had tuned him (and us geeter playas) to G# 440 for the session but I guess amidst the setup chaos (it was recorded in our bandspace at the time which was being slooowly built into a full fledged studio, which the owner never finished, so we brought in our engineer with his DAW/gear and set it up in the existing room) we neglected to do that. It was just supposed to be a pre production demo anyway and we thought we'd be recording properly within the next year.
 
When I loaded the files up years later to see if I could salvage the drum and vox tracks I figured out it was actually in G# "445" (so A 445 downtuned a semitone). Of course I didn't/don't want to do any pitch correction (on top of the extensive timing correction) so I'm leaving it as is in that regard and using Guitar Rig 5's fine tuner knob to acheive that "445" based freqs to match the vox (and the bleed in the drum tracks).
 
At first, being the anal spazz I tend to be about this type of stuff I was piiiiiissssed but now I'm thinking the variation might be psychologically beneficial. As in it might stand out just that little bit more when one of tunes is tossed into a playlist of other songs where the musicians actually tuned up like normal humans. Like it's even oddball for concert pitch (335).
 
Since it's crustpunk that I'm trying to give slick production values to that little oddity might add that "out of tune" feeling without anything actually being out of relative tuning.
 
 
Of course I could be over estimating the power of such subtleties (and maybe there ARE already a lot of tunes intentionally skewed this way) but it's interesting to contemplate and it makes me feel a little less stoopid for not doing my job at the time and making sure everyone was tuned properly. The extra string tension while still being tuned a little lower is nice too and 445 is a nice sounding number to satiate my OCD side. Like if it were 443 or 447 I might pop (more of) an aneurism over it... just because... yanno.... spazz.
