Schumann’S Resonance As Audio

[DigitalDown]

 

Hello, I am prominently know as musical artist Digital Down. I have created an audio waveform based on Schumann’s resonance and it’s correlating partials. Many videos online use instruments to reproduce the notes of the partials rather than recreate the partials in a natural manner. I have used, in this particular example, integer oscillators to create what said sound would actually sound like. I have another version that will be released in the future that is less abrasive, using sine wave oscillators to reproduce the sound. In a controlled environment (flat frequency studio monitor, appropriate acoustics) the sound yields an uneasy feeling that some have stated to feel physically and emotionally.

Ya, that sound is pretty annoying. I wouldn't say emotional but it gave me a headache

What made you think of using Schumann resonance? Seems a very obscure source for a musician!

I am very interested in physics as well as the physics of sound. What sound is, how it moves etc. I’ve worked with sound at its simplest core fundamentals, and at the time of making this years ago, I was trying different things to get a sound that no one has gotten using various variables in science. At first it was, “how can I use the position and movements of the planets as a useful algorithm to create something”. From there progressed to the Schumann Resonance. I thought if sound could play an impact on the human body, it would have to be to what the body already vibrates to, from there I increased the octave x4.

Yes, well, the human body doesn't vibrate to any Schumann resonance, as those are electromagnetic wave resonances, not sound. We don't make very good radio ariels! 

 

But if one were to make a sound wave of the 7.83Hz of the Schumann fundamental, it would roughly equate to a 64ft organ pipe, wouldn't it?  So if you've raised it 4 octaves that would be 8ft, I presume.
