A short presentation of the Ideas
behind this new type of Therapeutic Tool
Prima Sounds® is a new type of fractal, meditation
music. It uses a unique musical scale invented by Professor Arnold Keyserling of
the Academy of Art, University of Vienna, Austria. His pentatonic scale uses
different notes and intervals than all other scales. These tones are tuned to
the primal energies of the body, the frequencies with a direct impact on our
conscious states. As a result PrimaSounds has powerful psycho-acoustic properties
and can be a potent tool for inner development.
In 1971 Professor Arnold Keyserling discovered that certain vibrations had
a direct, positive impact on people. Based on brain wave research and the discovery
of the numerical values of alpha waves, he was able to mathematically calculate
the precise frequencies of the primal "good vibrations." Professor Keyserling
discovered that these frequencies were based on the acoustic phenomena of the seventh
harmonic repeated in natural five tone octave intervals. The result was
a musical scale previously unknown in modern music. The tones that resulted
were unlike anything heard before, except for some types of meditation mantras,
such as those used by Tibetan Lamas. It was readily apparent that these select
frequencies had powerful mind altering effects and could lead to deep introspective
experiences.
I was his student at that time in Vienna, and became fascinated with his discovery.
I have since developed this scale into a new type of fractal music I call PrimaSounds.
PrimaSounds Music is composed of carefully selected tone vibrations that can
alter consciousness, lead to deep states of relaxation, enhanced energy and
concentration, and for some, a profound experience of union with the Source
of the Universe.
Although new in form, and created with computers and synthesizers, PrimaSounds
are similar to some ancient sound meditation techniques still used in a few
spiritual traditions scattered around the world. The use of select tone frequencies
to alter consciousness and produce profound religious states appears to have
been well known in many ancient cultures. But it appears that no one had ever
before mathematically calculated the precise frequencies of these tones. The
exact pitch of these tones was handed down from master to apprentice, was difficult
to reproduce, and was frequently lost or degraded from one generation to the
next. Now that the exact electronic reproduction of these tones is possible
with computers, it is simple to retain and reproduce these tones. Although
training and experience are still helpful and are required to realize the full
potential of PrimaSounds, submission to a master and years of apprenticeship
are no longer a prerequisite. Anyone with access to this information and a
good high fidelity system can easily reproduce these tones. You can now experience
for yourself how certain sound vibrations directly resonate different parts
of our energy field.
The resonance of these sounds can amplify and activate the human energies,
called CHI by the Chinese, CHAKRAS by the Indians, and bioplasma or aura by
many in the West. When listened to in the correct manner, PrimaSounds facilitate
the opening of the chakras, and the balancing and even flow of the Chi. Since
1971 PrimaSounds have been used by a select group as a tool of meditation and
actualization of full human potential. Satisfied that these sound vibrations
were both safe and effective, in 1993 Professor Keyserling and I first made
PrimaSounds available to the general public. There are now thre one hour audio
CDs of this new music, entitled Life Tuning, released
in 1993, Prima Sounds, released in 1994, and our
latest, GateKeeper coming out in early January
1998.
PrimaSounds is true "fractal music." It uses chakra resonance and carefully
crafted "chaotic musical forms" instead of traditional melodies and rhythms.
The tone combinations and harmonics of PrimaSounds may appear random at first,
but a hidden fourth dimensional order becomes apparent over time as the resonant
effects of the tones evoke pleasant altered states. The fractal harmonics stimulate
not only the seven energy centers, the chakras, but the entire human energy
field, the chi. This expands consciousness and leads you to your center,
your unique essence, or as it is called in the science of Chaos,
your "Strange Attractor". This totally unique sound experience helps
you to awaken from what Dr. Charles Tart, (Professor of Psychology at the University
of California) calls the "cultural consensus trance." This consenus trance
afflicts us all and makes it impossible to realize our full human potential.
The unexpected Strange Attractor forms of PrimaSounds can help us to overcome
these trance states and awaken to our full potential.
PrimaSounds is designed to be listened to and felt by the entire body, not
just the ears. The fractal vibrations resonate and stimulate the right brain.
This allows the listener to escape "normal" left brain, head centered consciousness,
into whole brain awareness based in the entire body. The experience makes you
relaxed, enhances consciousness, and can lead to profound states of self realization
and creativity. It has been called a "vibration bath" which relaxes the body,
cleanses the soul and clears the mind. PrimaSounds is an ideal
"Philosopher's Tool" to facilitate deep introspection, relaxation, creativity
of all kinds, energy work and body work, guided imagery, and most types of
meditation, prayer, concentration, mindfulness, and other psychological and
spiritual practices.
