The Solfeggio frequencies are an ancient scale written about in the book Healing Codes for the Biological Apocalypse. The 9 frequencies were derived from numerology, and are said to be able to cure cancer, help you quit electronic smoking, and repair your DNA. The book combines conspiracy theory, new ageyness, pseudo-musical science, and biospiritual activism in such beautifully crazy ways, it almost makes the author of this blog jealous.
Anyway, here’s the 9 frequencies—’God’s Perfect Circle of Sound’—as well as their solfege names, and the nearest note in equal temperament. The note “Mi”, is actually sharper than the closest C tone (an octave above middle C) and is known as the Gold Tone which if listened to enough can perform transformation and miracles like DNA repair. You won’t find this scale notated anywhere else folks! And have yourself a listen as to why. Drag over the black stemmed noteheads.
This ancient scale was discovered in the Bible, Gregorian Chants, Sanskrit Chants, and inside the author’s own ass. It’s not that I’m jealous of Len Horowitz’s cottage industry of healing tones and his ability to monetize his awesome nonsense, but just look at that hideous scale! Is it F-minor? F-sharp? It appears to be a tetrachord, and a pentachord, or some such throwback to the Greeks. Or a modernist polytonal thing—half F-minor, half E-major. Everyone loves the number nine! Except, I already worship se7en. Shoot.
It isn’t actually anything, because it’s based entirely on abstract numbers, and their general usage in music as well as math. It’s exactly the same as setting the Schumann Resonance to music, and calling it the Schumann Scale—the music of sacred lightning. Except in this latter case, it’s clearly a joke, a net-surfer’s curio.
The Solfeggio scale doesn’t seem to be notated anywhere in the healing tones literature. God likes his frequencies measured in Hertz anyway. The Biological Apocalypse will not be notated!
I, should, write, a, book.
