| Healing Mix texture produced by harmonic changes Warren Burt | January 2011 | Wollongong, NSW, Australia |
In January, while Catherine was in the hospital (she's ok now, thanks for asking),
I was passing time by playing with Henry Lowengard's iPhone app, Droneo. Droneo is a microtonalists dream.
Even if you don't want to make a "drone," it's a wonderful way to be carrying around a microtonal harmonic sketchpad in your pocket.
Any up to 8 note chord in any tuning you want can be heard almost instantly.
I began experimenting with various 13th chords in various tunings, and playing the results for Catherine, who was at this point recovering from surgery, and was pretty fragile.
It was fascinating to hear what sounds (when heard over her cell-phone speaker) she felt were relaxing, or healing, and which sounds were annoying.
At first, almost everything was annoying - only the most filtered of sounds, played softly, were acceptable.
As healing progressed, higher harmonics and more harmonic motion was found relaxing. And so it went.
Read more! I've always wanted Droneo to have a place in the world of sound healing. Thanks, Warren, for trying it out! |

| Bob Scott | October 2008 | (Australia) | Its a beautiful idea, i love playing with it - really takes you somewhere else - so many possibilities! I've been experimenting using low fundamentals ~ 30Hz into large PAs for live installations/performance... quite amazing results [ ...] Also great fun feeding into other signal processingm etc, etc!. http://www.dodgysound.com/ |
| Pauline Oliveros | April - May 2009 | Vienna Austria, Belfast, N. Ireland | Droniphonia with iPHONES, Spatialization, Streaming environments and Multiple Instruments (2009) Based on the iPHONE application Srutibox by Henry Lowengard Environmental streams from Locus Sonus Concept by Pauline Oliveros Droniphonia has polytonal drones continually morphing timbres, volumes and fundamentals moving in space. Networked musicians (Belfast, Banff and Troy NY) listen to the drones and develop gradually overlapping improvised sounds and phrases - first solo and then between two or three players at a time in a slowly growing density and texture. Different musical characters appear unexpectedly from time to time out of no where on a one time basis. Finally all players weave their way in and out of the droneophony sharing the unknown finale. The 2009 Sonorities Festival of Contemporary Music takes place in SARC, the Harty Room and the Whitla Hall, at Queen's Unversity Belfast. http://paulineoliveros.us/ |
