The Sacred Geometry Of Music

Oh I've seen this one before, used it in a proposal for a project bridging the arts and sciences, luv the point he made with this, all of the accompanying interviews were wonderful. Fabulous!

this one, and the one above....nicely complimenting Hurricane Irene as she makes her presence known across our skies here on the east coast...thank you for the reminder of more mellow weather, oceans and skies!

yum!

Very nice soundscape!

ty :D you can buy it on itunes :D or wait until the album comes out in September :D

I LOVE that song!

me too...luv the video too...so human

Are we talking Beach Boys?
Or Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch?

LOL - love it. String theory indeed. The theories of "the strings."

Now that is cool.

Ohhh!! SandyBerman, this video is really incredible. Thank you so much for sharing it here..
I'm sending it to all on my email list. They'll love it too, as I do.

Sounds great; have bookmarked for later. Thanks again.

Bach, my favourite composer since babyhood, and Escher, one of my favourite artists since I first saw his work in the sixties... To that I include Vasarely whose artwork evokes Bach-like music in my mind.

.Here is another book;This is Your Brain On Music. I am certified in a process called integrative breathwork. This is called holotropic breathwork, invented by Dr. Stanislav Grof. Read: The Holotropic Mind. IB uses music journey, somatic release, art and dialogue to delve into the psychi, that innner universe, the unexplored country. I will certainly read Godel.

Would guess that's the reason that good, well-written music is so "heart-felt" - goes right to the core - people love it cuz they "just know what it does for them." Good description.
Cheers!

It is not so much that they have no sense of timing or rhythm than the fact that they have difficulties coordinating their voluntary physical movements with rhythm. Rhythm is intrinsic to humans and all vertebrates, based on the beating heart and on breathing - be it with lungs or with gills.

If you've ever learned how to read, then play music, you'll completely understand that it's completely mathematical. "Sacred Geometry" (what the Masons believe) has been with us since Pythagrus. We're talking here of mathematics as it relates to music - I'm thinkin' they're 2 different things, altho mathematics applies to both. The resonance you feel in your chest, or what resonates when you hear clearly what a big band sounds like, or a drum solo, or when sounds combine and enmesh is what's being referred to here.
It's far deeper than the beliefs of the 'masons or the kaballah. I think that's what is meant by this; could be wrong, maybe I'm misinterpreting.

I briefly glanced over the article and bookmarked it for later reading and to try some of this stuff on my synths.

I do know how to read music and I've taken some music theory and yes it's all mathematics. Maybe we're talking about two different things, my point was that I don't think that composers like Mozart were ignorant of these theories when they were composing their works.

Probably right - I do not know.

Yes, I think they were totally aware of the "math" correctness, I honestly don't know about the rest of your idea.

Well, I have no doubt Einstein was correct about Mozart. He was pure genius. I love both his and Beethoven's works. If you were to interpret their musical symmetry on canvas in a painting while it was playing it would be interesting to see what picture would be created.

Me too!

Exactly right. We don't even have to have aural function. Music goes to the core of being (in most mammals). Wonderful video, thanks Jan.

The second movement of the concerto you selected is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed. I have never been able to listen to it and remain dry eyed. Beethoven's final piano concerto, No. 32, effects me the same way.

Long after Lady Gaga and her ilk have been forgotten people will still worship at the shrines of Mozart and Beethoven.

I totally agree with you. I chose the first movement because I remember studying my physics and calculus to Mozart when I was in college. I always found the first movement to be more playful and it always coincided with my sense of curiosity....call it weird, but when I read that Einstein article about his love for Mozart.....it was just very validating.

The Quaballah goes back to the ancient Hebrews and far predates the Freemasons. The point here though is that every point on the Tree of Life has it's own musical note and place on the scale of colour.

Love them Chili Peppers, nobody like'em.
Good stuff Vic. Thanks much.

Realllly excellent, thank you for this.

Glad you like it. :-)

Love this song, album, and group. A lot of interesting music-math also in "Strange Times" (not very well known). The score of "Too Big to Fail" (one of the 11 Emmy nominations for this wonderful HBO special) also reminds of me the time-math-music continuum.

Thanks, Lairderg - I'm checking these out.
