Thank You all for the interesting session. May we be strong.

(irjO) What specific tone or frequency, such as Hz ranges or musical notes, if any, is most effective for enhancing meditation exercises and promoting a relaxation state?

A: Varies but use pentatonic scale.

@Mrs. Peel @Musicinventor

The C’s said in response to Musicinventor’s question about emotions that it might help to follow a different artistic direction.

My instant and gut response to this exchange was the idea that Musicinventor’s music is progressive and complex, with unconventional time signatures and tonal modulations. But when irjO asked about types of music that might be beneficial for creating a relaxed state, the C’s said “pentatonic scale”, which for a composer of music might be regarded as the simplest of pallets to paint from.

So I just thought that maybe Musicinventor should consider the idea that simplifying his works and focusing more on the deep feelings that can be accessed through the simple relationship between two intervals - themselves taken from a simplified scale - might be the way to go.

I’m sure Musicinventor will understand if I reference the progression in the history of jazz, where bebop - which was extremely complicated and difficult to play, the reason for which has been explained in terms of wanting jazz as an art form and the musicians who played it, to gain respect and kudos from the more traditional musical establishment - lead to Miles Davis exploring the impact that a single note can make on a listener, culminating in the pieces he arranged for the “Kind of Blue” sessions, which were the antithesis of bebop.

Maybe this isn’t at all in line with what takes Musicinventor’s breath away, but I just wanted to share that idea, anyway.

What's interesting is that epic progressive and blues guitar solos can be very pentatonic based. You would think they would be more freelancing a lot but they must be going for a certain feel.

Me alegra saber que estamos protegidos. Bueno, los comprometidos con la expansión del conocimiento. Me gustaría pensar que yo también.

Yandex translation: I am glad to know that we are protected. Well, those committed to the expansion of knowledge. I'd like to think that I would too.

Hi @Vicamino. Could you please check whether your posts are in English or use a translator like Yandex for example? Thank you.

When I think of pentatonic scales, my mind immediately goes to David Gilmour. Take Shine On You Crazy Diamond, or Echoes. Epic pentatonic masterpieces imo. Or some deep cuts of live Allman Brothers. Proof that they are limitless. I can wander all day in that most basic of scales. You don’t have to be Zappa (though you could), but you can drift and dream all kinds of ways.
