Angel

[MR GIBS]

 

The song (and the whole album) is recorded in A=432Hz

 

A N G E L

 

Thecold hugs the sharp chimneys.

 

Thesky descends low and comfortably.

 

The Angel will pass over the roofs

 

to try the shoes of the Winter.

 

 

My eyes are sewnof the frost

 

but they are hidden by the hands of the fog.

 

Asparrow, swallowed up the crumbs

 

flies to the homes ofthe leaves.

 

 

Thewindows of theyellow-eyed houses

 

with extreme fidelity don't reveal nothing.

 

The Angel will passand from above

 

will detect the changesof the climate

 

 

behind all of our towed curtains

 

and he will feel arheumatic pain,

 

because in the housesthere is often an Autumn

 

or it is a Winter,nothing different.

 

 

Thecold hugs the sharp chimneys.

 

Thesky descends low and comfortably.

 

The Angel will pass over the roofs

 

to try the shoes of theWinter.

 

 

Theshoes will tighten him tightly

 

the emptiness will tightenhim too.

 

Look, the Angel sitson the roof,

 

sighs and remembers The Wings.

Really nice! The slightly lower reference pitch makes a surprising amount of difference compared to A 440.

 

Great sounding and great looking D-28 'bone, as well. Tell us about that one.

Well, that Martin HD-28 has a long story and I know only the last part of it...

One morning about four years ago while drinking my first coffee I noticed this instrument in Dream guitars. May be you know that site. The price was low for such a class instrument and I did not hesitate.

When the guitar arrived it was in a bad state... The case was misshapen due to a water damage. Stung mold! The guitar too... The frets bulged 3mm. above the fretboard, there was some ugly stick under the nut and the keys were terribly worn out... This was a bad surprise. There were some strings on it. I started to change the first string, took of the old one, putted the new high E and started to turn the key without checking the tone. In a moment I just picked the string and it was exactly the E on the tuner. Said "hmm..." and took off the B string, putted a new B and did the same - turned the key without checking the tune. When I picked it was exactly a B... ! I did exactly the same action with the G string and the result was exactly the same! I was amazed!!! The guitar tuned itself the first 3 strings!!!

 

Few days after I sent the instrument to my luthier, he did what was needed - refret, new nut&saddle&pins, changed the tuners with Gotoh 510 (I had to put some open gear Gotoh, but I don't regret the 510s), did a good set up, installed a K&K Triniti Mini System inside the guitar and this was a resurrection. The instrument started to play well. I bought a new hard case and sprayed inside the guitar many times some Bill Blass to eliminate the mold smell. That Bill Blass worked well.

I wrote some e-mails to Dream Guitars to ask who sold them that instrument to ask some questions, but Paul Heumiller's answers were very "lubricous" and I couldn't get any information about the previous owner and the previous life of the guitar...

A year and a half after the frets started to stumble and to scratch my left hand. The top collapsed and I sent the instrument again to the luthier. he filed the frets and installed a "bridge doctor" inside the guitar. And it was good again.

In April 2018 me and my wife went to Grece. I played one day with some friends when my wife came to ask some money to pay the stay. I told her to get the money from my bag, but she didn't want to stir it my bag and asked me to do i myself. So I told her to get the guitar, and she grabbed the strap (instead of the neck...) The guitar felt down from about 1m on the ground and broke in two places... 25-30 cm. the top peeld off from the side below the bridge and the head broke away... I remained silent, did not say nothing... Just called my luthier on the cell phone... He was not at home - it was his wife who told me that he is out of the country and will be back in 4 days... I told her to tell him to call me immediately after he gets back home.

My wife was so confused and ashamed that she told me if the luthier can not fix the fractures she would buy me the same guitar. I just told her that this is not possible first because there are no two same guitars and because she can NOT buy me even the strings because she doesn't know nothing about it...

We returned the next day home I sent the guitar to the luthier and he fixed everything OK.

After I received the instrument I starded to play and I was amazed once again - that guitar played like it has never played. The sound was just crisp and clear, it articulated like Heaven... I called the luthier and asked him is it possible that the guitar plays better after the repair or I am fantasizeing... he told me that this is absolutely possible because there were probably tensions into the instrument and after the fracture these tensions were released and disappeared... I told this to my wife and she suggested that "we have many guitars at home and if there are some tensions inside some of them she could help..." Sometimes women can be very cheeky!!!

Now the guitar plays like a dream!

The audio recording for that video was made before the last damage.

By the way there is a baritone Alvarez guitar, recorded here in the audio too.

Wow, that story takes the cake lol! Sheesh! I thought it sounds great and you're singing is always superb. Well done Mr Gibs!

[uncle fester]

Mr Gibs, phenomenal.

[Tman]

Outstanding

[pippy]

Wow! Superb!!!

Great story behind the (lovely) guitar too.

 

Thanks for posting!

[MR GIBS]

Thank you for the nice words, guys!

Outstanding! I read somewhere that the Universe vibrates at 432Hz.

[MR GIBS]

I read somewhere that the Universe vibrates at 432Hz.

Matrer of fact I did this in A=432Hz to experiment. And I am glad I did this.

They say every tone has 12 harmonics in this pitch and in A=440Hz every tone has only 8 harmonics.

So the harmony is not complete in A=440Hz.

 

 

[Marky Forrest]

On the musical scale where A has a frequency of 440 Hz, the note C is at about 261.656 Hz.

 

On the other hand, if we take 8 Hz as our starting point and work upwards by five octaves (i.e. by the seven notes in the scale five times), we reach a frequency of 256 Hz in whose scale the note A has a frequency of 432 Hz.

 

This frequency, which is at the top end of the Theta range and at the start of the Alpha range, makes us feel very relaxed but conscious and open to intuitive learning.

 

Listening to a concentrated recording of music at this frequency, like a binaural beats track, will synchronize (entrain) the brain to this state and induce the aforementioned effects.

Let's figure it out like that: we play music using some pitch. This pitch we calculate using measuring units. In that case the units are the second and the number of the string oscillations. How we can know if The Creator used the same measuring units. What is "a second" for God?

Those are good questions for which I have no answer. There are differing opinions as to whether 432Hz is the frequency of the Universe or not. Verdi used 432 Hz for A4 in some of his compositions, as did Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin and Vivaldi. There are differing opinions as to why they did that, too. I took the following from a Wiki article:

"Scientific pitch, also known as philosophical pitch, Sauveur pitch or Verdi tuning, is an absolute concert pitch standard which is based on middle C (C4) being set to 256 Hz rather than 261.62 Hz, making it approximately 37.6 cents lower than the common A440 pitch standard. It was first proposed in 1713 by French physicist Joseph Sauveur, promoted briefly by Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi in the 19th century, then advocated by the Schiller Institute beginning in the 1980s."

If you search YouTube using "432Hz" a plethora of relaxing, meditation videos will be offered. I've listened to some of them and found them to be relaxing. I cannot say that it was because they were 432Hz or just nice, peaceful music.

"Relaxing" - that's the least I've ever been looking for when I recorded that whole work in that pitch. My idea is: I hope (because it has been proven many times and it is verifiable) using that pitch my music will be heard better in that dimension I live in and may be it will echo in some other dimensions to be heard by other living creatures...

[MR GIBS]

Outstanding

 

Thank you for the nice comment :-)
