Music - from space and from the lab

Dear Friends, I've found it very interesting that there've been several mentions of using music to program mental processes.  This is an old idea - I can remember buying subliminal tapes for my Walkman back in the 80s.  I have two sets of recordings that seem quite remarkable.  The first is not in this category at all, but was received from outer space last summer, according to the person I got this from.

The story is that there is a dwarf red star 20 lightyears away called Gliese 581.  It has a number of planets designated a, b, c, and d.  This signal was supposedly received from Glise 581c over a period of 24 hours last September.  It broadcast every 7 minutes or something like that, and then was not heard again.  I may not have the details correct, but that is the crux of the story.  I haven't been able to verify it through the MSM (big surprise) and of course, if it is a deliberate signal from another civilization, it could be dangerous to listen to.  On the other hand, someone could just be sharing some of their favorite alien Top-40 selections.  Unfortunately, I cannot attach or imbed the file here because it's a midi, and the Portal is not set up to accept that kind of file.  I may be able to convert it to mp3...I'll have to play with it and see.

The other experimental recordings I have are similar to the "Doc Stars" post.  In fact, the creator called them Star Sounds.  I'm even wondering if it's the same guy, only when I got these he didn't have a slick website, and it was all quite experimental.  Each selection is focused on a specific neural pattern, so that there is Sleep Better, Develop Deep Inner Joy, etc.  I have only listened to a few of them, but they do seem to work.  The one for sleeping knocks me right out, although that's not something I normally have trouble with.  I spent quite a lot of time on the Inner Joy one last fall, because I felt that since that's something I've made a lot of progess with already, I would know if it was working or not.  Well, it didn't hurt anything.  There is one called Develop Intuition and Timing that I would listen to in the car while commuting, and I do think it works, and well.  The others I can't vouch for...but I will attach several.  Give them a listen if you like, and any feedback they generate will be very interesting!

Hey Dave,

Thanks for the MP3 files. I downloaded them and will make a disk to take home to hear on my one major vice in this world - a full-blown 8 channel A/V system that images music quite well. Will be a blast testing those files.

I will let you know,

Chris

...you don't need much volume. The tones carry VERY well. Let me know what you think...I have more that I didn't attach. Also, if I can find the website, I'll post that, too. He has ones I have not downloaded.

I checked it out and the sounds are fantastic.

Thanks, Dave, for the info and if you figure out the planetary sound track I would be very interested.

Greetings Dave,

 I guess I better expand my awareness...it sounded like R2D2 ranting about something...

I guess if a burp is an act of the voice...then a tone is an act of music...

I guess I have a long way to go to enlightenment !

There's a song on my "States of Mind" album , available to all, free, at www.leftydave.com   the name of the song is MAGIC IN THE AIR...please give it a listen....less that 3 minutes of your time is required,

 and you may like the tune...or you may say..."there's 3 minutes I'll never get back !!!"

Anyway, thanks for your input....hope you aren't offended by my bane attempt at brevity !!!

 

blessings

I have to tell ya, that cracked me up!  It's not intended to be music in that sense at all.  The idea is that certain tones or frequencies activate certain centers in the brain, and that this is the reason certain music resonates so deeply in our emotions.  These sounds are intended as an experiment in deliberate programming of the brain to achieve specific goals.

When I first read about them they were presented just that way, as an experiment, and we were invited to try them out.  I was frankly a little alarmed at the idea. If it works, then the evil ones will certainly attempt to exploit it.  The titles given to the various tracks sounded desirable and noble - better sleep, higher consciousness, total health and healing, psychic shielding etc....but it could be something else.  Who knew?  I decided to begin with one - the one that says it develops deep inner joy.  I figure that was an area where I was already doing pretty well, and if something was going to interfere with it, I'd know pretty quickly.  I burned it on a CD and played it on the way to work.  I still felt fine - maybe better, maybe not - after a week, so I added Develop Incredible Timing and Intuition (or something like that)...and played it for a week, and after that I alternated them.  For several weeks I listened to these in the car, and I have to say that they did seem to achieve the hoped-for results, or at least assist them.  The placebo effect?  I didn't know.  I haven't listened to too many of the others.  For one, they do get tiresome.  And there were one or two that I found sort of disturbing for some reason.  I simply didn't listen to those.  There are others I haven't listened to at all.

They'll never replace Django.

Greetings Dave and good morning !!

Yes, I too have read many stories about music and sounds being able to effect our DNA and therefore our make-up....in the WingMakers saga, the music posted on the site is said to have similar effects to the listener...although I must say that I listened to them all, probably twenty times each over the 7 years I have been interacting with the site... and I don't have a clue as to any physiological changes that may have taken place...(wife says I'm as nuts as ever)...and how would one know if he or she had been effected ?

Still, being tri-sensual, (I'll try anything once !) I long for some force of nature that will correct the disfunctionality of the human race...but I'm not holding my breath !!

 

Blessings to you for trying though....

Lefty-Dave, I suspect that these sounds and their supposed entrainment of the brain and/or the DNA is just another something that doesn't really work. There's always a placebo effect. The idea is intriguing to me though, especially because I received these last fall at about the same time I received the Gliese581c recording from another source. And it's to this guy's credit that he wan't trying to market these as they did subliminals 20 years ago. (I bought some of those, and as far as I could ever tell it was money wasted).

I'm frustrated that I don't seem to have a program on my computer that will convert the Gliese recording from a midi file to an mp3. I haven't even been able to put it on an audio CD. I'd post it if I could. It sounds nothing like the entrainment tones, and the only thing they have in common superficially at least, is that neither can exactly be called music. The Gliese recording, of which I have five minutes, sounds almost organic. It too consists of electronic tones because it was received by radiotelescope and translated by computer into an audio file - that's the story. The notes are without a steady beat or rhythm, and almost seem random yet if listened to carefully, they are not. There are two voices or instruments - or superimposed tracks of two separate phenomena, perhaps. The higher-pitched one sounds more or less like a wind-chime in a stiff breeze...one with a great many notes, but the same ones repeat in endless patterns and groupings. The other voice is like running water...think babbling brook. This is only an approximation of what it sounds like. In other words it doesn't sound deliberately composed, but it's hard to think of a natural phenomenon that could broadcast these sounds as radio frequencies.

The Gliese 581c recording could be a hoax. I haven't been able to find more information on it since last fall, and I have searched. If you search, you may find something. It could also be that our radiotelescope received the emanations of some not-yet-understood natural phenomenon. As far as I know, no radio signal from space has been organized into an undeniable signal of any kind, and certainly not musical. And, it could be an actual signal from an intelligent civilization. As I recall, the signal was broadcast at specific intervals for a period of hours, and then stopped. Every 17 minutes, or something like that. If it does represent a signal, the possibilities are endless.

There have been several mentions of 2008 being the year of ET contact. True, Gliese comes from September, 2007. It could've been a greeting. I wish I could come up with a way for this crowd to hear it!

Django Reinhardt, Belgian Gypsy guitarist of the 30s, 40s, 50s. Probably one of the 4 or 5 greatest 20th-century guitarists....I'm not thinking of classical guitar but folks like Les Paul, Doc Watkins and Chet Atkins. Django was burned in a caravan fire and his left hand was badly deformed. Instead of giving up the guitar, he developed a new way of forming chords and gave the world some of the greatest jazz ever played. He performed for many years with the French violinist Stefan Grappelli, who basically defined violin jazz. Django died in 1957, and Grappelli performed right up to his death just a few years ago.
