Alan Howarth success as a film composer and sound designer, having created award winning scores and sound effects for many Hollywood blockbuster films including Star Trek, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and The Little Mermaid, has now lead him to looking beyond the entertainment realm for ways to apply his passion for music and sound, Alan Howarth’s pioneering passion brought him to frequency studies in what he refers to as Natural Music Frequencies.

This journey began with a book entitled The Rods of Amon RA by Wesley H. Bateman about the mathematics and acoustics of sacred geometry memorialized by the Giza Pyramid and other ancient structures. Bateman spent over 25 years looking at the Great Pyramid of Giza as a mathematical model and discovered that the original architects had designed dimensions, acoustics and proportions to reflect a very sophisticated mathematical system which Batman called RA Mathematics. The essence of the math was based on the geometrical mathematical ratios of Pi (3.14159…) and Phi also know as “ The Golden Mean” ( 1.618…), Bateman suggested that the math of the pyramid described certain acoustical frequencies related to these ratios.

In 1991, Howarth contacted Batman and collaboration began from which eventually birthed RA Natural Frequency Music. In 2004, Alan teamed with Dr. J.J. Hurtak and the Academy of Future Science and began field research by traveling to the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico and making acoustical recordings that measured the resonances over 200 Mayan temples for acoustical samples. In 2005, they also traveled to the Giza Plateau of Egypt, measuring the acoustic properties of the Kings Chamber in the Great Pyramid. Hurtak and Howarth are currently publishing a white paper in association with the University of Mexico City that documents data confirming a majority of the Mexican sites resonate to Phi-based frequencies and the Egyptian pyramids resonate to PI frequencies. It was striking to discover that 2 separate cultures separated by over 4000 years and 8000 miles would choose to build structures that contained these precise acoustical properties!

The research team measured the resonant frequencies of the sacred sites by using a standard technique used in acoustical measurements. This involves playing “pink noise” (a sound that contains an equal amount of all audio frequencies) and standard audio test tones played over a calibrated speaker placed inside the selected chambers of the ancient locations, then re-recording the sound that has been reshaped by the acoustical properties of the structure. These recordings were later analyzed using computer frequency analyzers.

Howarth and Hurtak’s acoustical research confirmed Bateman’s original mathematical predictions about the acoustical frequency properties of these ancient structures. Howarth compiled the acoustical data to make a database that showed the resonant frequencies of these architectural locations, that is in the published papers. Their hypothesis is that the architects of these ancient structures were well aware of acoustics and chose precise dimensions of these structures to create areas of specific resonant properties. The consistency of an overwhelming majority of the resonant frequencies confirmed this. After analysis of their research, they are able to conclude that the frequencies used in earlier times were somewhat different to the frequencies that are now standardized in our western music.

Howarth and Hurtak determined that the adjusted reference frequency for the note “A,” currently standardized at to a frequency of A=440 Hz, can be changed to make A=432 Hz for the PHI ratio. The PHI ratio is related to the physical life and the human body. Their research showed that when music is tuned to the PI ratio, the note A is changed to a range of frequencies spanning 421-427 Hz, centered at A=424 Hz. According to Howarth, this adjusted “A” and the related harmonic frequencies have brain wave and other psycho-acoustic properties. Tuning musical notes to the Pi natural frequencies has also shown harmonic alignment with natural states of human experience and the Chakra energy centers. The selection of PI frequencies are most useful in sound therapy because they are related to the mental energy states, showing that these tunings are harmonics of frequencies within the range of alpha brain waves, only several octaves higher in pitch. Referring the Law of Sympathetic Vibration, single tones as well as music can then be applied to entrain one into positive mental states.

Further investigation into the history of musical frequencies has revealed that the same frequencies were also present in the Renaissance, where the first tuning fork, invented in 1711 by John Shore, was tuned to A=423.5 HZ.  Mozart, Handle and many of the great composers of the period created and performed their music tuned to this frequency range. It was not until 1925 that the music industry selected A=440 as an industry standard. Therefore, the Natural Resonance “Classical Music app is designed to re-tune modern recordings to the original tunings of each classical composer.

Howarth ‘s expertise in film sound effects work also led him to further investigate the tunings of whale songs, dolphin communication and the sounds of birds. Computer analysis of these recordings revealed that the sounds of these animals are also tuned to these PI and PHI frequencies tonal centers. In fact, he believes that “all of nature is tuned as a ‘Grand Living Orchestra’ that resonates on these frequencies naturally and is in perfect harmony with itself.”

Howarth has created apps utilizing patented music technology processes that digitally converts any musical recordings tuned to our standard reference of a=440 into what he calls   “Natural Resonance” formats that are adjusted to PI and PHI, Classical and Solfeggio frequency references. He has made this technology available on this website by announcing the creation of mobile apps that take standard tuned music and convert it into the adjusted tunings of specific resonance formats of body, mind and spirit. Future apps will feature the ability of digital streaming from any mobile source through the apps and convert the music in real-time into the converted tunings.

Your Brain in the Alpha State.

Alpha Brain waves move at a frequency between 7-14 cycles per second. The planet earth resonates at 7.83hz, which is lower range of the Alpha state. The frequency of Alpha is a mental state of relaxation and meditation. Alpha is the bridge between Beta and Theta; therefore the Alpha brain wave state is the bridge between the subconscious and the conscious mind. Wave Alpha governs daydreams, fantasy, and denotes a state of consciousness detached and relaxed.

Scientists have discovered that certain brain wave frequencies (especially the Alpha and Theta) may:

1. Relieve stress and promote a lasting and substantial reduction in people prone to anxiety states.
2. Facilitate a deep physical relaxation and mental clarity
3. Increase verbal ability and also the performance IQ
4. Better synchronize the two hemispheres of the brain.
5. Recall mental images live and spontaneous imaginative and creative thinking.
6. Reduce pain, promote euphoria and stimulate the release of endorphins.
