If only there was another word for CHAKRA...that word just makes me shiver...anyways I hope he writes more articles in the future! we give the floor to Antoni!!! One winter night many years ago I was booked to perform a solo improvised noise show in Berlin in a little shack in Friedrichshain. The show was performed with a little guitar amplifier, a microphone, a small megaphone as well as various delay, filter and distortion effects. I have told this story many times and only one person has ever believed me as to what happened next. My memory is hazy, not because of alcohol or other substances but at some point during the performance, I managed to align myself perfectly with the universe, and every instance of myself past, present and future. I left that show feeling pretty amazing for about two weeks afterwards. I found myself kinder, better at listening and generally much nicer to be around. It was a shame it dissipated after just a fortnight. I'd do anything to get back to that feeling. From there, some self study uncovered some simple mystic truths regarding harmonic frequencies of the seven chakras. This was an experiment in order to try and recapture the accidental psychic-soup I stumbled into that strange winter night. And so, if we can distill from each pure colour of each chakra a tone, and that tone has frequency, then from there we can determine a tempo / bpm Here is what we have so far. Please remember that A must be 432 not 440. Most soft synths / guitar tuner plug ins will allow you to be able to tune your instruments correctly. This is important. CROWN – Note: G – Frequency: 768 – Bpm: 46080 BROW – Note: F – Frequency: 720 – Bpm: 43200 THROAT – Note: E – Frequency: 672 – Bpm: 40320 UPPER HEART – Note: D# – Frequency: 624 – Bpm: 37440 HEART – Note: D – Frequency: 594 – Bpm: 35640 LOWER HEART – Note: C# – Frequency: 552 – Bpm: 33120 SOLAR PLEXUS – Note: C – Frequency: 528 – Bpm: 31680 SACRAL – Note: B – Frequency: 480 – Bpm: 28800 ROOT – Note: A – Frequency: 432 – Bpm: 25920 As you can see those tempos are really really quite fast, and unless you're going to make some psychic Extratone then I suggest you do some division like in the next chart (400 was chosen to divide by in order to get sweet slow disco speeds, you could use any divisor number to get the sacred tempos, especially if you want to delve into polyrhythmic joys) CROWN – Note: G – Frequency: 768 – Bpm: 46080 divided by 400 = 115.2 BROW – Note: F – Frequency: 720 – Bpm: 43200 divided by 400 = 108 THROAT – Note: E – Frequency: 672 – Bpm: 40320 divided by 400 = 100.8 UPPER HEART – Note: D# – Frequency: 624 – Bpm: 37440 divided by 400 = 93.6 HEART – Note: D – Frequency: 594 – Bpm: 35640 divided by 400 = 89.1 LOWER HEART – Note: C# – Frequency: 552 – Bpm: 33120 divided by 400 = 82.8 SOLAR PLEXUS – Note: C – Frequency: 528 – Bpm: 31680 divided by 400 = 79.2 SACRAL – Note: B – Frequency: 480 – Bpm: 28800 divided by 400 = 72 ROOT – Note: A – Frequency: 432 – Bpm: 25920 divided by 400 = 64.8 There are many reasons why you might want to divine such a tempo, there are many others we can gain from these frequency to bpm calculations. Try it in your music to help unite people. Or you can go back to making the same old boring 120bpm dance trash that everyone else makes with no desire to create harmonic balance in the universe.
