I’ve been watching some NOVA and other scientific videos on quantum mechanics and physics. This has then led reading articles, blog posts, and comments about how there are so many coincidences in the world with certain numbers. But, for some, if there’s not an exact match, scientists chalk certain things up…
What is musical temperament?For the visual explanation of musical temperament and how different tuning systems affect the notes and intervals, see Picturing Temperament. In a very small nutshell, musical temperament is making adjustments in the distance between notes so that chords and scales have a halfway decent chance of sounding in tune. Our…
Numbers, Sacred Geometry and Musical Frequencies? Are they related? Because people know that I’m delving into the wonderful world of frequencies, I get sent a lot of stuff that might be related. Facebook is inundated with memes, videos, and stories of the beauty of how numbers are important in…
“Musical Intent” is most about what a composer and/or performer expects to convey through his/her music. In this article, we explore how musical intent affects how we respond to music.
Einstein said “energy is all there is.” Based on a vibrational energy field surrounding us, we are in a constant state of vibration so energy is frequency. Using this knowledge, we explore the importance of understanding the energy field and frequencies within our bodies.
Originally published in 2015; updated in 2026. A note from Del: This article began during my early exploration of musical frequencies. I was listening to everything—singers, household appliances, power tools—and wondering how the sounds connected. Some observations led to more questions than answers! This revision preserves that exploration while clarifying…
Joseph Goebbels is said to have been behind the choice of our current concert pitch being set to A=440. Leonard Horowitz is a promoter of this conspiracy theory. A little lesson in music history may assist the reader in deciding for themselves whether this is a probable theory or not. Does this relate to the ancient solfeggio frequencies? A lesson in both music history and music theory should help the reader make that determination.
Originally published in 2015; updated in 2026. A note from Del: This was one of my first articles exploring frequency and its possible connections with health. Accounts of Royal Raymond Rife’s work caught my attention and eventually led me into correspondence with Anthony Holland. In this revision, I’ve clarified the distinction…
