Or the magical qualities of iron filings and a magnet.

"( bong science )" Speaking of bongs, some of the patterns laid out there look awfully close to a Steel Pan.....hmmm ¿Steel Pan Reso? Each spider leg could go to each note...Ping Bong... Attachments:

In the interest of keeping this slightly forum relevant... What we see in the experiment is the result of standing waves generated by a sine wave ( note ) This would be similar to the pattern of vibrations of a guitars surfaces if we could generate a single steady sine wave. this gif gives a better idea of what is happening resonance wise. In the utube experiment the sand accumulates where waves converge ( standing waves ) These predictable phenomena are what make math and music possible.  |

Great post MF. Got me thinking it may be possible to design some kind of magnetic toroidal headgear that could induce euphoria at the flick of a switch. That would be something and I'd be more than happy to take part in trials.

Thanks for the post mitchfit!
One of the more effective ways I have of clearing the air and myself of that darkness, walls closing in feeling is to play a bit of slide, usually Fred McDowell, I'm not the same person after a few minutes and the co-op space will be very peaceful - like the walls closing in pushed back, the ambience friendly.
The first post is amazing. It reminds me of snowflake crystals which have geometric type shapes...

A study I heard about last week showed that music,played to a patient before an operation, had similar effect to relax inducing drugs.

An invisible magnetic field that left anyone near it relaxed and happy would instantly be adopted by the State as a tool for crowd control, and I would like one at home please.
Anyone inventing such a device should message me immediately

In very simple terms.... the difference on the atmosphere of a room and the feelings evoked by a major scale or a minor scale, or a fast and a slow rhythm, or the difference between flattening a note for an evening raga and sharpening it for a morning raga. We have only scratched the surface in a very primitive, but beautiful way, about what music is capable of doing to our minds and bodies.

Im reminded of a Documentary narrated by Sir George Martin. I believe was titled " The Rhythm of Life" ? He drew a correlation from the rhythmic pattern of the human heart beat to what resonates with people musically and culturally in general... some profound food for thought. It truly is magical how all of this physical phenomena is explainable but yet no one knows how or why it effects us as it does. |

That was a great documentary, I remember it well.
I met George Martin in 2002. He was a wonderful man and totally self-effacing. A sweet and gentle soul. He was very kind about my playing and told me how much he loved slide playing on Dobro and National guitars. I guess that was probably as a result of his connection to the other George.

all relevant observations.
would point out a strictly anecdotal observation that when civilizations began to discover there were other civilizations around the planet, they learned each one had developed their own form of music that had been around from times before records were kept.
some were as simple as rhythm cycles beaten out on a drum. harmony on that level would be rhythms that interact well with counter rhythms. some were in scales that had more ~or~ less notes between octaves than the "western" model. some used scales that sound discordant to other cultures. wouldn't your music sound similar to them? this would fold right into MM's point of different paths to the same destination.
i try not to say that rock, blues, rap, metal, classical, country, bluegrass, folk, techno, psychedelic [etc, etc] are best.
or worst.
still,in my mind's ear some of that list are far more pleasing. some pull 30+ inches of mercury to the same sonic mindset.
just my fingerprint's view of their fingerprint?
don't think i'm trynna elevate Eric Burden's thoughts to that of a musical Socrates, but contemplate the lyrics of "Monterey".
"If you want to find the truth in life,
don't pass music by."
