Visionary Sound Arts Interface

Three Main Aspects The three main aspects that I have determined are: Brainwave Pulse Rates -- whereby the nervous system is forced to vibrate at a certain rate of speed by the impact of sound waves. In physics, this is the principle of "entrainment," by which one oscillating system can cause another system to vibrate in harmony with it if the signal from the first system is strong enough to overcome the inertia of the second system AND if the second system is capable of resonating harmonically to the first system. This second requisite poses little problem when dealing with the sapient psychospiritual energy system which is capable of resonating to a wide range of vibrations and of holding numerous different frequencies, harmonious or otherwise Our central nervous systems can resonate from roughly one to forty times per second. The high frequencies are called beta waves, and are associated with physically or mentally active states. Higher mid-range is alpha, which is relaxed but alert. Lower mid-range is theta, relaxed and not alert, possibly in a trance, fantasizing, daydreaming. The lowest range, only about one to four times per second, is delta,which is sleep and deep sleep. Each sapiens' consciousness system is capable of resonating many times faster than forty times per second (our average hearing range alone is between 15 and 20,000 times per second,) but the central nervous system is measured by scientific study to be capable of only one to forty times per second; Harmonic Resonance -- which uses specific frequencies known to be resonant to various structures in the sapient energy-body and psycho-spiritual system (this includes organs, neural structures, chakras, auric fields, acupuncture meridians and acupoints, etc. Sound affords us the ability of being aware of certain areas in our body which we might otherwise not be as easily capable of consciously accessing By being presented with sound frequencies that are harmonic to the basic pitches of various bioenergic structures, it becomes possible for the listener to verify for themselves that these areas of their body are in fact resonant to these pitches; Special Tunings -- even though most listeners of Western music are used to the well-tempered musical scale, there are many types of tuning which have noticeably different impacts on one's consciousness; such tunings are not only the natural Just Intonation, but also mathematical scales based on ratios like the Golden Section or other tunings from measurements in the natural world such as the DNA photon resonance tunings. Visionary Sound Arts take advantage of these main principles plus related principles to induce alternate states of awareness. The reason we do not refer to it here as "music" is because a lot of it is not music but sound manipulation. Samples from natural sounds or various kinds of noise are often used.
