Electronic tanpura / Electronische Tanpura

Hansuman uses an electronic tanpura.
I use an analog version, by Raagini, and an electronic Itanpura version for the iPhone, and now also on the Ipad Itabla.

Itanpura and Itabla is available at the Itunes store, for iPhone, Ipod-touch and Ipad

Itabla on the Ipad (dont mind the trendy intro music :-)

 

Here is a video of the Raagini

They both sound nice.

Itanpura has more possibilities, it can play 2 tanpuras and other things, you can tweak it more, but if you use it on an Iphone you should put it in airplane-mode, to avoid ringing of your Iphone while chanting or meditating :-)

Itabla Pro on the Ipad is also very usefull for making music, as it can run in the background, while playing on any kind of keyboard or synth on the Ipad (example on video is on 2 Ipads, now you can do this on one)

Pythagoras Golden Ratios: Pythagorean Harmonic Healing by Dr. James Hopkins

As a result of independent research on the life and teachings of Pythagoras, Dr. James B. Hopkins was inspired to comission a series of unique musical instruments for healing purposes.
The sound of this Pythagorean Monochord resembles very much the indian Tanpura.
Listen to it here: 

About the Pythagorean Monochord

This Divinely Inspired Instrument is 7 feet long and has 117 strings. When all the strings are tuned to precise frequencies, the Instrument generates infinite harmonic overtone ratios. These frequencies emanate organically and combine mathematically to create exquisite cosmic symphonic orchestrations that unfold geometrically. I call them "audible fractals". Within these pure harmonic overtone series you will hear fathomless galactic choirs and instruments unimagined.

The Harmonic Proportions are to sound as the Golden Ratio is to structure- both of which are attributed to Pythagoras 569 BC.

When you listen to this recording, it is hard to believe that it is entirely acoustic! There are no synthesizers, no computer enhancements, and no special effects. I use only my fingers on the strings which are attached to a wooden resonant chamber (like a giant guitar or a massive cello) The Instrument is designed to be played while a human being is lying on top the chamber so that your body is bathed in these Sublime Harmonic Frequencies. Even more difficult to believe is that all the strings are tuned to only two notes. (D&A) This Phenomena is known as the Lambdoma Sequence.

All videos on Dr. James Hopkins instruments can be seen at this playlist 

He has a recording that is avalable on Itunes " Golden Ratios - Pythagorean Harmonic Healing 1"

On Pythagoras

Pythagoras who lived 500 BC is credited with being the father of mathematics, the inventor of geometry, and the father of music. He was the first to calculate accurately the mathematical relationships between the musical scales, the harmonic ratios, and the overtone series.

Pythagoras was the first person to prescribe harmonic frequencies and music to treat human conditions. He invented instruments and with the use of sound and vibration he was able to bring an individuals attention and awareness to their Divine Nature in order to facilitate healing.

On Wikipedia you can  find more on Pythagoras and on his Harmony of the Spheres

Dhrupad Vocal Music: Raag Bageshree, Gundecha Brothers

 The entire video is in 6 parts

A nice example of Dhrupad Vocal Music is this video of Raag Bageshree by the Gundecha Brothers.

Dhrupad is the oldest existing form of traditional Indian Classical Music. It has evolved from the chanting of the sacred syllable "Om", which has been used as a meditation technique since oldest times. The Sound of "Om" is claimed to be the source of all creation. It has a spiritually purifying effect on the person who is chanting, as well as on the environment. That spiritual depth can be also experienced in a good rendering of Dhrupad music. As a form of classical Indian art the recital of Dhrupad vocal can be traced back to recitations of the Samaveda, one of the oldest classical Sanskrit texts. Dhrupad is following strictly the rules for classical singing, as they are prescribed in the ancient texts. So this art is marked by austerity, giving much emphasis on maintaining the purity of the Ragas and Swaras.

Is Om het geluid van de zon? / Is Aum the sound of the Sun?

Volgens David Serada is Om het geluid van de zon en kun je het gebruiken om water weer "levend" te maken.
According to David Serada Aum is the sound of the Sun, and you can use it to bring water alive.



Quoting:
Learn how to restructure your own water with the actual sound of the Sun.

Pythagoras, in the 6th Century B.C. actually heard and experienced “The Music of the Spheres.” – What did he hear? Is there a harmonic sound to the planet, solar system and the universe?

Is the Hindu Sound of “OM” the true sound of the Sun? Is this the sacred sound that Pythagoras and the ancient yogis heard when going into deep meditation? In the Vedas: AUM is the sound of the Sun, the sound of Light. It is the sound of assent (affirmation) and ascent (it has an upward movement and uplifts the soul, as the sound of the divine eagle or falcon.

"The goal which all the Vedas declare, which all austerities aim at, and which men desire when they lead the life of continence … is “Om.” This syllable ”Om” is indeed Brahman. Whosoever knows this syllable obtains all that he desires. This is the best support; this is the highest support. Whosoever knows this support is adored in the world of Brahma." ~ The Upanishads.
