Our brain fixes this, we accept the out of tune-ness as a sacrifice for the versatility we get back in musical composition. This means, that almost all the music we are exposed to, is slightly out of tune. It is these harmonics that are spaced according the Golden Ratio aka Fibonacci Spiral, hence the name of the album. However, 'equal temperament' does not resonate with the natural harmonics, also called 'overtones' that are present in every sound we hear. This makes it easy to play chord progressions or change the fundamental during a piece of music, and has contributed to the magnificent multitude of different styles in our musical cosmos. This means that all the notes have equal distances to each other.
The commonly used western tuning system is called 'equal temperament'. Pure Intonation or Just Intonation is a way of dividing the intervals and notes in a scale. There is some theory behind all this that I won't go too much into detail with, but long story short, all this that you hear, is played and recorded in what is called 'Pure Intonation'. My intention with this record, was to take 'sound healing' to the next level.
Sit back, relax, and close your eyes, while listening to these immersive sonic textures, and find out for yourself, what they have to offer to you.
