This is a singular
production. Its uniqueness stems from the instruments used to
produce the haunting sounds and the theory of harmonics they are
based on. Hopkins has designed and commissioned six different
Pythagorean Monochords that are each between two and seven feet long
and have between 25 and 117 strings. Two of the instruments are
actually large enough for a human being to lie on top of.
The instruments’ design is
based on Pythagorean principles of harmony and healing. The great
philosopher and mathematician used the intervals between harmonic
ratios to engage a healing process within the mind and body. He
believed that through music the human soul could become properly
aligned, in harmony with the heavenly bodes, which he believed
produced their own subtle music that resonates through us all.
After several years of
independent research on Pythagoras, Dr. Hopkins has created the
harmonix healing system. The music on the CD can be used for raising
consciousness, focusing attention, meditation, relaxation, yoga and
much more. The sounds within each track resonate with the body’s own
natural rhythms and restoring and realigning energies within the
mind, body and the depths of the soul. The music has a wonderfully
stirring quality that enervates as it progresses through the CD.
Each track gives a sense of incorporating more voices and by track
four it feels as though a whole orchestra is performing. Harmonix
has profound effects on the listener that last long after the CD is
over. This is a wonderfully refreshing addition to the New Age
genre. The therapeutic effects of listening to the CD are so
multi-layered that it can only be imagined how wonderful it would be
to lie on top of the instrument in a harmonix healing session.
