    I wanted to share this with someone, music is my hobby, my meditation, sometimes I dream with other worldly sounds so I am always paying attention or looking for incorporate those sounds or replicate the music that I listen in my dreams, that as a bit of background. So the sounds are a bit like synthesizers.

    The Yaybahar a Turkish instrument
    Is an acoustic musical instrument invented by a Turkish musician Gorkem Sen who describes it as a "real-time acoustic string synthesizer."



    Weddell seals produce *ultrasonic* vocalizations (Antarctica) MCMURDO SOUND this is a pretty recent discovery, it's still unknown how the seals produce these sounds and there are new developments as the creation of very specialized microphones able to record 512khz of ultrasonic sound, pretty interesting.


    Ice cracking in frozen lakes that sounds as laser guns.
    Just know I realize that the sound it's so similar to the ones made by the seals, so probably there is a relation there, seals coping nature just as us, very probable.


    Now these are sounds that I didn't presence myself but there are 2 ones that I will try to find.seals

    Extinct sounds


    The bang when a sound barrier is broken. Broken glass isn't nice either. When things break, it usually sounds pretty bad.

    I stumbled upon a website of this audio guy in New Zealand who uses odd mics for field recordings. audiophile quality noises.
    they were expensive and I cannot find the site in my bookmarks. very weird.

    As a thirteen year old on a school trip to York minster, we were invited to go to the top of one the church towers/steeples, on the way up through a very old and narrow spiral stone staircase, that seemed to last for ever, someone started playing the minsters organ. the bass notes resonated through the minster walls almost shaking the spiral staircase and resonating through my chest, I have yet to create that sound with modern equipment. And that was 52 years ago.

    OM Chanting @417 Hz | Removes All Negative Blocks


    OM Mantra Chanting at 417Hz. OM is the Primordial Sound of the Universe. Its the sound that reverberates in the entire cosmos and in every cell of our body, and 417Hz is amazingly beautiful frequency that acts as a cleansing agent for our body, removing negativity, negative blocks and toxicity from our body and mind.

    And when we combine both of these - it gives rise to an astoundingly powerful effect, of removing all the negative emotions and let the positivity of OM takes it place. It becomes a powerful meditation tool.

    We recommend that you use this for atleast 30 mins a day, and meditate along with it. You may chant OM along with the track or simply let it play in the background as you meditate and focus on your breathing in and out. Simple but a very effective technique.

    The fractal delays with endless feedback you hear on a massive dose of psilocybin.

    When I was about 10 years old, (around 1976), a car slammed into a wall at high speed, about 3 or 4 meters from where I was playing. I remember hearing in the middle of the metallic din the sound of what seemed like pieces of wood splitting. They were probably the bones of the poor guy who died instantly. After that traumatic experience I had panic attacks and tachycardias when I heard very loud noises for a few years.

    Made from recordings of taking a piss, taking a shit and rattling a set of keys. Granular and pitched feedback loops/delays. Originally inspired by Ben Burtt, THX intro, the sound FX guy in Police Academy 1, etc.

    It's interesting, when I was young I had so many weird believes mostly because my parents were really into esoterism and ocultism, one of the things that amazed me was Ouspensky law of octave that use the Pythagorean perfect tones besides all the mumbo jumbo that inclusive inspired the first periodic table in chemistry.

    The thing is that music or vibration is everywhere and more with modern physics, super strings, etc. So I started to apply music theory to atomic orbitals, well many things but what I wanted to point out is that planets have rotation and translation rhythms or frequencies, there are some interesting mathematical relations and there are some harmonies, perfect fifths, thirds, but it's quite random and/or completely logical at the same time.

    It's not that musical but with the time I often see many people doing these relations in many fields
