MARTIN BLÄSE

Silversmith Martin Bläse offers a selection of his sound objects in planetary tuning in the tradition of Hans Cousto. They are seven different kinds of sound objects which are all tuned to planetary tones. Of course they are all well suited to any cosmic sound work and also play along nicely with other instruments that are tuned to planetary tones. Nonetheless, each has its own unique specialty.

Our beautiful planet Earth is bound in a cosmic dance of rhythms and cycles. There are the orbits of the planets around the sun, the moon’s orbit around Earth, the Earth’s spin on its axis and the motion of Earth’s axis, the platonic year.

When these frequencies are doubled and increased by an octave, so that they become audible, the result are so called planetary tones. With them, a completely new kind of music is possible, which is in consonance with the cosmic harmonies and therefore possesses a strongly harmonizing effect upon man and nature.
