Planet Tunes

"He who knows the secrets of sound comes close to know the secrets of the entire universe."

Most of the cultures on earth have reports on earth sound and spherical harmonies, Indians know 'Nada', the First Sound, as the beginning of everything, and talk about 'Nada brahma' meaning 'the world is sound'.

OM (Aom) is the everlasting sound for most of the Asian cultures - and it is 'the' holy mantra itself - symbolizing the archetypical frequency of our being.

'Planet tunes' were first described and calculated by the law of octaves by Hans Cousto (Germany).

This law of the octaves notes the repetition of a certain tone on doubling or splitting its frequency into halves. Doing this systematically transponds the frequencies of the whole solar system into hearable ones. The number of octaves necessary is the scale, similar to a roadmap.

Hermann Hesse writes in his book 'Glasperlenspiel': The Law of Oktave is the principle, which is shared equally between music and mathematics, it is the one formula which is able to connect astronomic und harmonic formulas, to bring down astronomy, mathematics and music, even colours to a common denominator.

The keynotes of our planets are physically calculated on a scientific basis but still they 'unite all three basic principles: science, worshipping beauty and meditation.'

These planet tunes or ancestral tones are therefore exponentiated acoustic frequencies raised to higher power but from our natural environment. Our confrontation and use of them takes us back to 'the way of the world' and in harmony with 'Tao' (the way, the way of the world) as Chinese people would say.

Some planet tones are quite securely assigned to different chakras, forthe others we still lack enough research results so the assignment is meanwhile hypothetic.

The followig table shows a short overview on the tones and frequencies (Source: Hans Cousto):

planet tunes singing bowls

Planet bowls are singing bowls centering on a specific planet tone or have multiple peaks of the same tone in their sound spectrum. It is impossible to manufacture these bowls - they simply originate - and have to be measured and selected piece by piece.

This is what we do on demand, size and weight differ by their purpose for use.

Please talk to us about your individual desires or write us a Mail, we are looking forward to calling you back!
