"It is in the work of Hans Jenny that we can begin to see the relationship of form and sound in the physical world. Jenny’s experiments have shown that sound frequencies have the propensity to call into arrangement random, suspended particles, or to organize emulsions in hydro - dynamic dispersion into orderly, formal, periodic patterns. In other words, sound is an instrument through which temporal frequency patterns can become formal spatial and geometric patterns."
Brain and Sound Frequencies
Brainwave Patterns
The electroencephalograph (AKA. EEG) is a machine that monitors brainwave-activity. Laboratories around the world have done studies and experiments-using these tools to better understand the four main brainwave patterns:-BETA, ALPHA, THETA and DELTA. Each frequency has a characteristic blueprint-and produces a distinctive state of consciousness. BETA waves (14 cycles per-second and above) dominate the normal waking state of consciousness when-attention is directed towards the outside world. ALPHA waves (8-13 cycles-per second) are present during dreaming and light meditation when the eyes-are closed. THETA waves (4-7 cycles per second) occur in sleep and are-dominate in the highest state of mediation. In deep meditation and deep-sleep, DELTA waves (.5 to 3 cycles per second) are experienced. Each of-these brainwave frequencies serves an important function. The optimum level-for deep thought is in the realm of THETA. When in THETA, the senses are-withdrawn from the external world and focused on then inner one. DELTA waves-endow a total vacation from existence and provide the most profound feelings-of peace.
About This Site: The information presented here is mainly for entertainment purposes, although PHC does generally find this type of information interesting to contemplate. That sound has affects on an individuals state of mind and therefore overall state of well being has been well documented. The general motivation for this sound experimentation over the last 29 years has always been an equal mix of a pure love of music and sound of most any type, style, genre or time period and the amazing potential sound has for creating a sense of mystery, unknown worlds and deep spiritual meditative states of mind.

The idea of 'extreme' as used by PHC does not mean non-stop balls out screaming intensity. It does mean the extremes of loud and quiet, beautiful and terrifying, complete calmness and full on panic attacks...
