Sacred Geometry

One of the most important discoveries of the new quantum physics is that of the holographic nature of the universe. The geometric language of light, that forms the underlying matrix of this hologram, is the alphabet of the new paradigm.

The primary infrastructure of all existence is written in the Sacred Geometric language of light. All is light … all is geometry.

Sacred Geometry is the ‘graphic code’ that reveals the processes of inherent order underlying all of creation.

The Harmonic Series is the hidden code, the starting point in creating the basic patterns of sacred geometry.

We can find it in nature and in sound.

Deep Listening

Deep Listening, as developed by Pauline Oliveros, explores the difference between the involuntary nature of hearing and the voluntary, selective nature of listening.

I fell really ill a couple weeks ago and was bedridden. For the whole day, I felt extremely overwhelmed by music or TV. – but I needed a source of distraction, so I decided to open the window and lose myself to the sounds of the environment – it was both meditative and entertaining and I felt like I could find many nuances to the sounds but none of the sounds I was listening to were intrusive to my thoughts. I felt like they just came and went. I felt connected to the practice of Pauline Oliveros which I studied last year.

Glitch Art

Ive explored data-bending and data-moshing.

I started off by using Audacity, which I originally thought of as a simple audio editing platform, i discovered that you can import files as RAW data. Using any sort of file in your computer and converting that into audio, then editing that audio with effects, time stretching, etc. And then exporting the file as the original extension not as audio.

Meaning that a .mp4 or a .jpeg file can be edited as audio an exported as a video or photo file.

This is crazy, all files are 0 and 1’s. So a wav file and a pdf are in their core the same thing. This gave me some fun and experimental digital techniques.

TrowBridge

November 5, TrowBridge.

Travis, Sam and I went to a church near Bristol, in a small town called TrowBridge.

The owner of the church has a collection of harpsichords and pianos. We took a field recorder and a ambisonic microphone.

The church had a nice natural reverb, Travis played each harpsichord, some improvisations guided by a visual score made by himself. After doing these recordings, we made a group improv, me playing a steinway and sons piano, Sam playing an organ and Travis singing.

My favourite part was when I got to play the organ. I played long sustained notes on the keyboard and on the bass pedal, while I was moving the ‘knobs’, I found this crazy, since I noticed the air inside the organ being modulated to my movement. I could hear it clearly since I was standing right in front of the pipes.

It was a good day of sonic exploration.
