The Perfect Circle of Sound


Some of the Research into the Sense of Sound

As part of my research into synaesthesia I have also been investigating the 5 senses individually. In the previous post I highlighted something that very much tied into synaesthesia - sound creating form. Also when investigating the sense of sound I came across "The Solfeggio Frequencies"
This is an ancient scale and is a 9 tone sequence of electro magnetic frequencies. They were used in the ancient Gregorian chants and are believed to impart tremendous transformation and healing emotionally and spiritually. Sometimes referred to as "the perfect circle of sound" due to their immaculate symmetry of mathamatics and the sacred geometry in the vibrations of their sound frequencies.

The frequencies are: 174Hz; 285Hz, 396Hz, 417Hz; 528Hz; 639Hz; 741Hz; 852Hz
There are 111Hz between each one.

They are linked to the physics of creation - bio chemists use the electromagnetic frequency 528Hz to repair broken DNA - the blueprint of life.



I am thinking of using them to form some of the audio in my final motion piece on synaesthesia ... but lets not mention AfterEffects!

  1. Hi Steph,
    I think you are working with such an interesting topic, I have no idea what your end piece will be but I'm intrigued to see what you will do with all this research. I felt I was being hypnotised with that video, so I'm going to bed now to wait for my emotional and spiritual healing!

    You could probably do with a bit of that healing yourself, if your suffering from the after effects of AfterEffects!!
