Meditation Tape 5 - 40 Hz in 5ths

00:00 / 19:24

Meditation 5 Target Focus Note: B2

​

Meditation 5 is meant to be a shorter, 20 minute journey to ascension. This is achieved through several distinct tools, helping focus your attention. 

​

Firstly, the primary binaural beat is targeting B2, so the music is set in the key of B, with cadences resolving to the target note. Why B you might ask? B is a 5th from E, so would be a nice key change if listening to these meditations in a playlist. That was the only reasoning...

 

Initially I did not set this binaural beat frequency for the notes targeting B2. Instead, I wanted to align two principles, and derive the binaural beat from that. I wanted the stability and balance of the perfect 5th interval, often associated with the spiritual or divine, to combine with a binaural beat frequency of 40 Hz, which is often associated with mental clarity and spiritual healing. So as the piece progresses, I intended to bring in the 40 Hz binaural beat a 5th above the initial frequencies. More like, I needed the piece to start with frequencies a 5th below the frequencies generating the 40 Hz beat, but at the same time target B2 as their median. With these constraints, I derived the initial B2 targeting frequencies, and derived an addition octave below targeting B1. Fading these 3 binaural beats up and down generated an unexpected beta range pulse. I clocked it at 200 bpm, which corresponds to 3.33 Hz. Interesting…

​

So this time I decided to use a bit of the rhythmic element by including drums at that tempo, and a hypnotic repeating chord progression. That eventually ascends to the 5ths at 40 Hz. With all this, I hope your mind body and spirit are uplifted.
