Traditional / experimental practice

Anatomy of Sound · Interval and Ratio

A steady tone (220 Hz) and, one after another, four second tones above it: the octave (2:1, 440 Hz), the fifth (3:2, 330 Hz), the fourth (4:3) and the major third (5:4, 275 Hz). The simpler the ratio, the more the overtones of the two tones coincide and the more fused they sound together. Listen for which one feels the most settled. A listening practice with no claim of any effect.

  • Reverb: room, 12% mix

In the room you can listen to each layer on its own, change its settings and save it as your own recipe.

Sound is generated on this device in real time; no files are downloaded from a server. There is a 10 s fade-in at the start and a 0 min fade-out at the end.

Compare with another sound

Hear both at the same loudness; drag the slider to the middle and they blend.

These two sounds can't share one recipe (different tuning or effects): listen to the samples one after the other.

S · Soundscape, no claim

No health or mental-effect claim at all; it is simply a soundscape.

This session isn't linked to any claim of effect.

A session's level is the weakest of its linked claims; it is never raised by a strong but unrelated claim.
