The seven chakras each have an associated color, but did you know that they each have a unique frequency as well? Each chakra vibrates as a different frequency and learning to influence the chakra frequencies brings them into balance and clear energy blockages.

Everything about us is ‘alive’ with a vibrational frequency. Every thought, every emotion, every cell, every organ… everything that makes up ‘us’ is basically different vibrations clustered together. The chakras are the energy centers through which energy moves. When the chakras are open, everything is in balance and harmony.

Chakra frequencies and colors correspond to various areas of your life. When chakra frequency is disrupted, we are out of tune, and things start to go awry spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically.

Sound Therapy

There is a wide choice in sound therapies and chakra balancing techniques. One such therapy involves using the “Solfeggio frequencies” which ‘tunes’ the body to different frequencies that create harmony.

Below is a list of the 7 chakra frequencies, as well as the corresponding Solfeggio frequency that can be used to heal and balance that chakra.

Use sounds, affirmations and other techniques to balance each chakra.

1. Root Chakra, Frequency: 396 Hz
This is the vibrational tone of the Earth’s day. It is dynamic, energizing and vitalizing. Use the Solfeggio frequency UT – ‘Liberating Guilt and Fear’. 

Releases from guilt and fear. Guilt often represent one of the basic obstacles to realization. 396Hz liberates the energy and enables achievement of goals in the most direct way.

2. Sacral Chakra, Frequency: 417 Hz
This is the tone of the synodic moon (lunar month, which is different from the earth’s month). Use the Solfeggio frequency RE – ‘Undoing Situations and Facilitating Change’. 

Produces energy to bring about change. 417Hz clears destructive influences of past events and puts you in touch with an inexhaustible source of energy that allows you to change your life.

3. Solar Plexus Chakra, Frequency: 528 Hz
This is the tone of the sun. Use the Solfeggio frequency MI – ‘Transformation and Miracles (DNA Repair)’.

Brings transformation and miracles into your life. 528Hz frequency activates your imagination, intention and intuition to operate for your highest and best purpose.

4. Heart Chakra, Frequency: 639 Hz
This is the tone of the Earth’s year. Use the Solfeggio frequency of FA – ‘Connecting/Relationships’. 

Dealing with relationships problems – those in family, between partners, friends or social problems. When talking about cellular processes, 639 Hz frequency can encourage the cell to communicate with its environment.

5. Throat Chakra, Frequency: 741 Hz
This is the tone of the planet Mercury. Use the Solfeggio frequency of SOL – ‘Awakening Intuition’. 

Leads you into the power of self-expression, which results in a pure and stable life. The intent behind the 741Hz frequency is to solve and cleanse.

6. Third Eye Chakra, Frequency: 852 Hz
This is the tone of the planet Venus. Use the Solfeggio frequency of LA – ‘Returning to Spiritual Order’. 

Linked to ability to see through the illusions of your life, such as hidden agendas of people, places and things. 852Hz raises awareness and lets you return to spiritual order.

7. Crown Chakra, Frequency: 963 Hz
This is the tone of the Platonic Year, otherwise known as the Great Year; or a period of 25,800 years. Use the Solfeggio frequency of TI – the ‘Higher Frequency’ of the crown chakra. 

The frequency of 963 Hz is connected with the Light, and enables direct experience. Re-connects you with the Spirit, or the non-vibrational energies of the spiritual world.

Experiment: 16mm Painted Film https://notes.maraihan.com/experimental-painted-film/ Sun, 25 Sep 2016 20:14:00 +0000 https://maraihan.wordpress.com/?p=1825 I found some Experimental Painted films over the internet which are really inspiring. These films are made with 16mm film stock, newspaper or magazine collages & hand painted. I’ve categorized these films into two. 16mm magazine transfer film & 16mm painted film.


16mm magazine transfer film

A 16MM experimental film using magazine transfer. It’s the 2011 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit magazine vs. Rolling Stone April 2011. At the end they duel for who is more attractive. The music is “So Let us Create” by Jukebox the Ghost.

So Let Us Create: {pulp free}, Experimental Film By Susie Shircliff

16mm Magazine Transfer Exercise

Students started with 16mm clear leader film and stuck strips of clear packaging tape that had absorbed the ink from magazines and newspapers.


16mm painted film.

Rites by InterfaceArts

This film created “Film-Digital-Film” (35MM Class) at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia is a cameraless animation, hand-made directly on 35mm film-stock. The film was featured in the 2006 Philadelphia International Film Festival. It was edited by Eric Rusiski & Jim Romaine. The Music is by Vivaldi.

The Longest hand painted film in britain by KEC Nuneaton

Students took part in producing frames for a hand painted film. The aim of the project was to produce 873 miles of film, making it the longest hand painted film in britain. Covering the distance from Lands End to John O’Groats. Each frame is handpainted by students.

16mm Painted Film

This is a film the artist did for a class. He used paint and markers on clear 16mm leader.

All done and edited by hand. Was Digitized to be able to add music and credits. The song is Carnival by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis.

Final Countdown 16mm film experimental

This is an experimental film the artist made on 16mm film. It’s called The Final Countdown and is basically almost all the countdowns from the 16mm films the artist have.

History of information behind an Image https://notes.maraihan.com/history-of-information-behind-an-image/ Mon, 19 Sep 2016 18:30:23 +0000 https://maraihan.wordpress.com/?p=1815 It’s an interesting post about how a digital image is made I found on Vimeo.

It was the change that no-one saw coming: the idea that we could take a book, a painting or a song and send it through cables and wires and even thin air to the other end of the world – and it would be identical on the other side. But this idea underpins everything about the Information Age we live in.

How did we make such a mind bending transition into the digital world? And how does it work? It turns out it’s all based on a concept that is surprisingly beautiful in its simplicity. This short video essay explores what that idea is and tells you about the man who figured it all out.

Computers are everywhere and control almost every aspect of our lives. In the next 6 minutes you’ll find out how they really work.

EARLY COMPUTER GRAPHICS https://notes.maraihan.com/early-computer-graphics/ Thu, 15 Sep 2016 11:36:47 +0000 https://maraihan.wordpress.com/?p=1484 Oskar Fischinger and Norman Mclaren, who were pioneers of synchronisation of sound and visuals by painting shapes on film.
However the appearance of the computer with graphic capabilities brought endless possibilities to this field. The artists that followed them, and started to explore the possibilities of the computer and electronic systems for the generation of visual and sound, laid the groundwork of digital graphic synthesis.

This post collects the work on synthesis of sound and image in the early days of computer graphics.


Walter Ruttmann (28 December 1887 – 15 July 1941)

He was a German film director and along with Hans Richter, Viking Eggeling and Oskar Fischinger was an early German practitioner of experimental film. He also worked with sound alone (Wochenende, 1930).

Walter Ruttmann – Lichtspiel Opus 1,2,3,4 -The first abstract film screened publicly – 27 April 1921


JOHN WHITNEY,Sr
He was one of the earliest pioneers in computer animation, he was the father of Motion Graphics (in fact in the 60s he founded a company named Motion Graphics Inc).
Whitney and his brother (James Whitney)  were interested in the combination of graphics arts and music and they developed devices and techniques for the synthesis of sound and image.
For his creations, Whitney used at first a custom analog computer that was adapted from an M-5 Anti-aircraft, an optical machine from the army, made for calculate and visualize missiles trajectories.

Frames from Whitney’s film MATRIX III (1972)

The following video is an excerpt from the “Computers: Challenging Man’s Supremacy” documentary, where Whitney demonstrates his analog computer.

VERTIGO ( 1958)
He worked together with Saul Bass in the creation of the title sequence for the Alfred Hitchcock’s film “Vertigo”.

MATRIX III (1972)


LARRY CUBA

“Larry Cuba is widely recognised as a pioneer in the use of computers in animation art. Producing his first computer animation in 1974, Cuba was at the forefront of the computer-animation artists considered the “second generation” — those who directly followed the visionaries of the sixties: John Whitney, Sr., Stan Vanderbeek and Lillian Schwartz.“ (LARRY CUBA web site)

Cuba is also one of the directors of IOTA centre, a research group and community that work in experimental and abstract film.

video you can see a “Making of” documentary made by Cuba where he explains the entire process. Sadly this video has been blocked by Youtube. Some automata-nasty-boot detected a piece of music that is copyrighted (the Star Wars theme maybe) and blocked this fundamental piece of history of Computer Graphics.
I founded it again in another video website, I hope that this one stays visible forever.

In 2009 Cuba was a guest speaker in “Punto y Raya” in Barcelona, and abstract film festival.
There he gave a retrospective of abstract film and visual music. A must see for everyone interested in the relations between image and sound.!

History of Augmented reality https://notes.maraihan.com/history-of-augmented-reality/ Thu, 15 Sep 2016 02:48:31 +0000 https://maraihan.wordpress.com/?p=1475 Since long time audiovisual environments have been explored to create augmented realities and temporary autonomous spaces. The magical features of these environments attracts the humans since long time before the new media technologies. In the research on media archaeology we find immersive media events, tools and mechanisms since ancient times that were the predecessors of the actual new media technologies.

 

I started to get interested in these topics & started to see the work of  Siegfried Zielinski (Check his book “The Deep Time of Media”).
