Did King David sing and play in a specific musical key? What does the “key of David” mean? To answer these questions, we must look at music history through the eyes of either an ethnomusicologist or archaeomusicologist. What does history in general tell us about the practices of ancient musicians?…

Everything in the universe is based on patterns and cycles. When they are evident, it’s a path that leads to possible discoveries. When patterns and cycles cease to exist, that’s when research sits on a shelf until further understanding is revealed. In the Frequencies of Creation series, I hypothesize that…
The final post in the frequencies of creation series is fitting for the periodic table, especially since one of the most important features of the “universal weave” is the number 7. We start at the beginning of time when the universe was void and without form… Russell A. Smith (R.…

Cymatics is one way the ancients could “notate” the visual aspects of music. Is it possible cymatics is…
Many questions come my way concerning tuning. This includes the big question, “are certain frequencies good/bad for us?” As I began to ponder these questions, a few realities came my way about how music works. Here are a few key points:Music works on natural laws (musical overtone/harmonic series)Harmonics are both…

In this article, we add another layer of “all things F#” and compare/contrast how the key of F-sharp is seen in crop circles and ancient sacred sites. Allow what I present here to send you on your own journey of discovery into the fascinating world of the frequencies within creation. First,…
