	Musica universalis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Musica universalis (or music of the spheres) is an ancient philosophical concept that regards proportions in the movements of celestial bodies — the sun, moon, and planets — as a form of musica (the medieval Latin name for music).
		Some Surat Shabda Yoga Satgurus considered the music of the spheres to be a term synonymous with the Shabda (also known as the Audible Life Stream) in that tradition, because they considered Pythagoras to be a Satguru as well.
		The principle of octaves in music is that whenever a sound-wave is doubled or halved in frequency it yields another pitch similar in 'flavour' to the original one.

		The "early music" category, like world music, is a vague catch-all term broad enough to fit many disparate styles, and counts among its chorus Guillaume Dufay of the Dufay Collective, who along with Discantus was another early music group performing at the Fez Festival.
		For Rahman, the increased interest in world music, as well as its spiritual subset, is due to the average age of the population's mass.
		While the interest in sacred world music is understandable given the millennial context, confluence of technology, and people's desire to seek alternate truths, it's truly remarkable that world music has flourished the way it has despite little or no radio support.

	Skyscript: JOHANNES KEPLER And the Music of the Spheres by David Plant
		The Pythagoreans used music to heal the body and to elevate the soul, yet they believed that earthly music was no more than a faint echo of the universal 'harmony of the spheres'.
		His vision of the music of the spheres, however, is based upon the hard facts of astronomical measurement.
		Extending the analogy of the musical scale, the quintile is equivalent to an interval of a major third (4:5), the sesqui-quadrate to a minor sixth (5:8) and the bi-quintile to a major sixth (3:5).

		Indian classical music is modal (each piece being based on a single scale or mode [raga] and not on chords which are constantly changing), with a fixed ground tone, but finding its true expression in improvisation, tone colour, embellishments and intervals that are not found in Western tempered scale..
		The art of improvisation, which is no longer found in the Western classical musical tradition, connects the musician to the subtle bodies or auras (the higher harmonics of his physical body) by activating the psychic centres, or chakras, of his body.

	Music by numbers
		The relation of number to music runs all through this book, starting with the story of how Pythagoras was passing a flsmith's, and noticed that the note given out by a piece of iron on the anvil was determined by the weight of the hammer hitting it.
		At this point the assumption would appear to be that the musical intervals corresponding to the ratios of the diameters of the spheres were those that produced the "cosmic harmony".
		In music, it is more usual to talk of overtones, and on the violin for example, to get the first overtone, you put your finger very close to the mid-point of the string: this forces it to vibrate as shown in the second shape shown in the figure on the right.

		Certainly, if he taught a harmony of the spheres, and a revolution of the heavens to that sweet music, he wished to symbolize in a wise way the intimate relations of the spheres and their even revolution forever in accordance with the law of destiny.

		This illustration represents one way of ordering the heavens* and earth in musical harmony: the mystic threes begin with God, whose hand is visible at the top, and descend in groups of three as "Diapasons" (harmonic scales) through the spheres to the earth.
		Each scale or "mode" in medieval music was associated with a particular sphere or planet (seven scales, seven planets), and each had a characteristic meaning and mood (much as do the two common remaining scales today, major and minor).
		Plainsong chants, simple and graceful in melody, were followed by the glorious church music of the high Renaissance (hear a mass by William Byrd), still written in the ancient modes.

	Elizabeth Redfern The Music of the Spheres Reviewed by Rick Kleffel
		In the latter group is Elizabeth Redfern, whose impressively grim 'The Music of the Spheres' debuted last summer to so-so reviews in the big newspapers.
		Characters in 'The Music of the Spheres' tend to be either relentlessly, depressingly realistic or melodramatically exaggerated.
		While it's questionable whether any character will be redeemed by their actions in 'The Music of the Spheres', it rapidly becomes clear that novel's redemption will come only if the reader is willing to enjoy the deeply detailed degradation that Redfern has in mind.

	Music of the Spheres
		The simplest spheroidal mode is pulsation or "breathing" of the entire sphere; higher frequencies correspond to oscillations in which segments of the sphere's surface pulse in and out with opposite phase.
		Some of the light bouncing off the spheres was shifted in frequency by an amount equivalent to the frequency of acoustic oscillations, a phenomenon known as Brillouin scattering.
		In these experiments, each nanosphere in the sample acts as an independent, freely oscillating sphere, but because they are so uniform in size, their interaction in bulk with the laser radiation creates a series of sharply defined peaks in the spectrum of scattered light.

		“The music is there, the audience is there, the space is there, it’s just that producers have no faith that it will be a regular crowd-pleaser.” Cairo’s electronic scene is in shambles compared to Europe, the United States or even Lebanon’s much more vibrant techno community, believes Sarhadian, who goes by the nom-de-deck DJ Haze.
		Techno was born at the crux of Detroit funk and German electronic music— “George Clinton and Kraftwerk in an elevator together” as it was described.
		Over the years, it has shaped by further combinations with other emerging musical genres—bringing us house, trance, breakbeat, downtempo or chillout, trip-hop and abstract industrial, all of which are subject to further dizzying sub-categorization.
