What Are You Listening To? (Part VI) 2022/23

A hot damn day in the Motor City. Staying cool, listening to some Motown.

My first car was a ‘65 Mustang, built on the same assembly line in the video. The good ol’ Ford Rouge Plant

Having one of “those” work days. Luckily I’m working from home and can put on an album and blast it to work out my aggressions :laughing:

An underrated band and a fantastic first album from the early 90’s.

Just passed my 1 year retirement anniversary. The last year of working was from home. That made it much more tolerable, and more productive.

But not enough to make me go back, no matter how many times they ask me to! :laughing:

I’ve been exploring sound frequencies. In particular, I’ve been interested in the A=432 Hz vs the modern (and common) A=442 Hz. I find instruments tuned to 432 Hz much more pleasing. He also has a lot of information on other subjects like tinnitis, Alzheimers…
I found it interesting plus there’s a sound frequency game you can play that racks up scores you can save. Maybe @Mark_Turner or @TorturedZen would find it useful as musicians.

Correction: As TZ pointed out I made an error above, A=440 not 442. However, it’s not that simple. A442 was used before 440 was standardized.

It’s interesting, Nikola Tesla is worth looking into as well.

@muth the 432 Hz. debate has been going on for quite some time. I can’t remember who originally turned me onto it, but it was, and is very interesting …

So happy to know that others are tuned into this. Love this song, btw, brings back precious memories.

I did as well when the stories started floating around after the Travis Scott concert deaths. They claim certain Hz frequencies were used to cause the crowd to go loco.

Many different YouTube vids, etc.for different ailments. I played 528Hz for my Yorkie in his last days for healing/comfort. He laid right next to the floor speaker like he couldn’t get close enough. Made me go hmmmmm.:thinking:

I’ve been using those frequency compositions myself. I found two composers I like in particular on youtube. They offer binaural beats, as well, if you want to use headphones.

Isn’t concert pitch A440? That’s what I tune my guitars to. Except when I tune to drop D.

You are correct, sir. My bad, 442 is a number stuck in my head for other reasons I’d rather not divulge. It’s also a car I used to like back in the day, lol. However…concert pitch A440 was standardized in 1936, not that long ago. A442, however was still being used by the BSO and the NY Philharmonic.

See, I wasn’t even aware A442 was ever a standard. I wasn’t trying to correct you so please forgive… But in my naiveness the first time I even came to understand it all was actually on stage.
I was in standard tuning (E-A-D-G-B-E). The other guitarist was tuned down a whole step on both E strings (D-A-D-G-B-D), which threw me off. When I asked him why we sounded off he replied “You’re tuned to A440 dude”. ChaChing–light bulb!
In retrospect I realize now that so much of our music is not standard A440 but is more pleasing to the ear. We (I) don’t always notice the difference, in terms of frequencies until the ear is trained.
