The Fidibus shop now offers individual Heptatonality selection based on a previously selected pentatonality or harmonic base and for all twelve chromatic pitches. Together with Pentatonality selection, Harmonic Base, and Fundamental pitch, this concludes Sound as mantra and Tonalities selection as aide to find individual tonalities and eventually also personal sound mantras.

Newest Tonalibus recordings are now in Nov. & Dec. ’23 Sounds and complete Playlist L, which has grown to 16 pieces spanning 94½ minutes of diverse bluesy meditation music. To previous November sounds came five new cooperation pieces, one with Karin Gsöllpointner and four with Christina Braun. December sounds already includes five pieces in various blues tonalities.

Wonderful holidays
and
a happy new year!

Newest Tonalibus recordings now appear in Playlist L, initiate November 2023 sounds, and complete Sept-Oct 2023 sounds:

— “Mischief or miss a chief” — PentaBluNaLa with chant
— “Happy cat’s meow” — head and heart
— “Starlight before dawn” — gentle blue heart mix — for M-D

As part of individual Tonalities selection in the Fidibus shop, personal Pentatonality selection is now complete and available for simple and extended selections based on one’s personal harmonic base relative to all twelve chromatic pitches.

Preliminary tetratonality selection mentioned in the previous update was let go in favor of going directly to pentatonalities.

PentaBluNaLa, a basic pentatonality and prime Na tonality, was recently integrated into the Tonalibus catalogue of tonalities after discovering it’s uniquely pleasant and slightly mischievous harmonic qualities.

Response time performance of the Tonalibus website recently improved very noticeably through a hosting service CPU and memory upgrade and better caching. However, DE, FR, and IT translations of voluminous pages, e.g. of the Sounds index, can still take a few seconds to appear the first time called up.

Playlist K is now complete with 14 pieces covering 80½ minutes of summer 2023 recordings. Last additions were:
“Calmly breathe in, out, and in again” — Kumbhaka base
“कुम्भक Kumbhaka” — between in and out, out and in — for M-A

The new Playlist L and Sept-Oct 2023 sounds already contain:
“Ma Sa Papa” — hearts long for peace
“Among suns, moons, and stars” — a hopeful blues — (below)
“Das Mülirad isch broche, Simelibärg!” — go in peace — for KHT

To systematically select personal tonalities and eventually aid in forming one’s own personal sound mantras, Individual tonalities is forming in the Fidibus shop. The previous update announced Sound as mantra, Fundamental pitch, and Chromatic pitches. Now the first option under Individual tonalities, Harmonic base, is complete for all twelve chromatic pitches. And the format of the first of two steps of Individual tetratonality to select one of eight root or tetratonalities is in fine-tuning and accessible as draft only. Stay tuned for more to come.

At times, the Tonalibus site, supposedly its multi-lingual plugin, consumes excessive CPU and memory from its hosting server. In late September, this caused CPU errors that impacted the site’s database and made it unavailable for a few days until the excellent tech-support of Cyon, the hosting provider, was able to remove the blockage. But issues remain with the translations plugin and still impact the response time of translated pages on the Tonalibus site. Thank you for your patience!

Playlist K has now grown to 12 pieces covering 66 minutes of new recordings. New pieces include:
“Calling the divine” — hearts connect directly
“Balancing up and down” — extensive calm (below)
“Go with God” — a final blessing — in memory of Stivensky
and “Pulsating through life” — lead on! (below).
They are also available under July-August 2023 sounds.

Individual sound mantras were an original Tonalibus offer that was dropped a while back. Now Sound as mantra is forming in the Fidibus shop. Its aim is to enable you to create your own personal sound mantras. Individual fundamental pitch, a first step, is now available, as well as the aide of chromatic pitches. Individual tonality selection is more complex and currently under construction to be realized and posted in stages.

Images of the harmonics cycle as fusion of regularity and irregularity are now available also under concepts highlights.

Is there a universal harmony we live by and can recognize? Reflected also in tonalities? Experience in the present moment can affirm this. Can you hear the music of the spheres? There is an infinite abundance of ways of life and harmony — no one and only way! While here now, we are one and the same — as well as each one individually unique, each distinctly different from all others.
