Ulrico will present a variety of meditative and healing sound improvisations, some with a blues touch, on various instruments like 8-string guitar, veena, fujara, selje flute, tenor recorder, gongs, cymbals, crotales, and piano. Images of harmony and nature will be projected and to start an introduction to the harmonic pivot. Chairs as well as yoga mats will be provided to sit or lay down.

2) by instrument with reference to each recording
3) by year, month or season, chronologically

Expansion of the catalogue of tonalities and the glossary

February 2023 Tonalibus update

The expansion of the catalogue of anchored tonalities, announced in the January 2023 Tonalibus update, is now complete in all details. Further, the Tonalibus glossary expanded to include corresponding new and several basic terms, including miracle of nature, anchor realization shift, harmonic realization shift, inversion, and mirror shift pattern.

Conclusion with sacred geometry and Platonic solids

“Sacred geometry is an instrument of dialogue between man and God, permitting us to find unity inside nature’s diversity. It provides complete understanding and experience to consciously shape our future and accelerate the ascension process. It shows us how to open our hearts and evolve in consciousness through geometric models.”

A miracle of harmonic nature

The miracle of nature

The image shows two examples of the miracle of nature in action.

A miracle of harmonic nature is the tendency of regressive tonalities to convert themselves to their progressive equivalent. As such, the quart takes on the function of the fundamental. And the original fundamental turns into its fifth, the first and main harmonic in the series that is not an octave. (See harmonic series.)

January 2023 Tonalibus update of catalogued tonalities

The Tonalibus catalogue of anchored tonalities expands now to ninety distinct tonalities. Further, there is an ever growing number of derivatives that the catalogue lists in context, where relevant, but does not document in detail. Therefore, an overall revision and general refinement of the framework of the catalogue has been completed, while some new tonalities still wait to be individually documented in full detail. Below are some highlights of catalogue changes.

PentaNaMin (new addition to the catalogue) — sound sample, calm — 8-string guitar — 2:53
  • Four new heptatonalities form the new partially anchored Reach tonality sub-group Locor / Cor.
  • Six new extended pentatonality additions complete the sub-groups PentaNa and new PentaBlu.
  • Pentatonalities now appear grouped into basic pentatonalities and extended pentatonalities.
  • Besides TetraNa, further tetratonalities show up as derivatives. They are root tonalities and new tonality relations visuals cover most all the tonalities in the catalogue, except hexatonalities.
  • Hexatonalities are not further expanded on, as they can largely be seen as mere derivatives.
  • The list of Na tonalities slimmed down to include only prime Na(tural harmonics) tonalities.
  • The overall Tonalibus tonalities listing by lower and upper tetrachord (below) expanded to over a hundred entries as it now includes also some relevant derivatives and root tetratonalities.
