I would like to introduce you a completely new music scale which is based on 9 helts, and it fits with human brain wave. Please check the website and listen it. You will find it amazing. I would like to expand this music to many people. I would like to introduce this conposor. I recently was introduced to a new form of music that is being developed by a talented artist named John K. who lives in Japan. This music is a fusion of a variety of different styles. It has sort of a jazzy feeling to it as it shifts in and out of what I interpret as different minor keys. It has an Asian sound to it with unexpected note intervals and unusual tone combinations, and often has an underlying western beat. What makes this music most unique is the scale that it is based on. John has invented a new musical scale called the Kyo music scale that he bases his compositions on. A new scale system isn?ft something that someone comes up with very often. Basically all of the music that we in the western world are familiar with is based on the equally-tempered scale where the note ?eA?f is at 440 Hertz, and all other notes are a multiple of the square root of 12 above and below that. Our musical scale is one of those centuries-old rock-solid standards that we base our interpretation of music on. Probably the only time that most of us are exposed to any music that is different from ?gDo-Re-Mi?h is when we are in an Oriental restaurant listening to the background music (secretly wishing that they?fd tune up their instruments). The Kyo music scale is based on a 9 Hertz factor of spacing between the notes. The scale we?fre used to has seven whole notes, A through G, in an octave, while the Kyo scale has eight notes, K through R, in an octave. The reason the 9 Hertz multiple was chosen is that is that it is a known fact that the brain?fs alpha waves run at this frequency when a person is in a relaxed state. The idea is that listening to music that resonates at this frequency will help put you in a relaxed state. The initial studies that have been done on the Kyo music scale confirm that listening to it significantly enhances alpha wave activity in the brain. In the trial, a monitor was started on a subject in a normal, somewhat stressed, state with high beta wave brain activity. After listening to one Kyo scale selection, the beta wave activity was reduced substantially, while the alpha wave activity greatly increased. Though the study may not be conclusive, the proof to me is that I find the music to be quite relaxing and enjoyable. What I find interesting about this music is that upon the first time of listening to it, some parts seem to be off-key. This is a natural reaction, because ?gDo, Re, and Mi?h don?ft have the same meaning any more in this music. Also, John includes a note on the jacket of some of his CD?fs that if you are stressed, the music will sound strange. Upon subsequent replays, I notice that the music is, in fact, very much in harmony. The fascinating about this is that if I apply my own set of rules to this music, I find things wrong with it. If I am a little more open-minded, and try to appreciate this music for what it is, then I start finding the harmony and beauty in it. John?fs third CD ?gSeascape?h was just released in August 2002. The other two CDs ?gWinter Collection?h came out in February 2002, followed by ?gInto Spring?h. Like many artists who are trying to get exposure to their work, he uses technology to produce and publish his own recordings. His works are promoted and sold on his website at http://www.john-k.com. To hear for yourself what I am talking about, please follow the link above to John K?fs website. You will find links there to hear some of his works at mp3.com. I will be happy to answer any questions that I can, and would be pleased to hear if you decide to do a story on John K. You may also contact him directly at scale_kyo@lycos.com. I would like many people to feel what i felt. Could you please introduce John K to madia and levels? I would attach a date file of brain waves which taken befor and after listening to Kyo music scale.I would be happy if you can use that as your detales. http://www.john-k.com/ http://scale_kyo.tripod.com/ http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/377/project_kyo.html I am looking forward for your reply.
