Last updated in 2013 when I added several layers of Delta/Theta meditation binaural beats, a 2025 remastered version of ASCENSION is now available. The new master is louder, cleaner and features a less generous dynamic range, which works out really well for you earbud / headphone types. š

Angel Frequencies
The album ANGEL FREQUENCIES is inspired by angel numbersārepeating number sequences often seen as messages from the spiritual world. These numbers tend to show up in everyday places like clocks, license plates, receipts, or phone numbers. (In fact, even as I type this I notice my clock reads 2:22)

432Hz music and the hidden problem of tuning
About ten years ago, I released Splendor, a project I later removed from my discography. I built the album around the 432Hz tuning, keying each track to one of the seven chakras.
As I kept experimenting with tuning and retuning my synthesizers, I realized Iād been going about it all wrong. Most of the ā432Hzā music Iād been listening to wasnāt actually composed in that tuning at allāthey were just 440Hz recordings pitched down by 8Hz. That approach made even less sense than what I was doing; no matter who was doing it, the math simply didnāt math.
But the thing that drove me to drop the project completely was best articulated by Christopher Jaros in his book Sonic Alchemy (Amazon):
Claims about the ancient origins of the 432Hz tuning encounter a major obstacle, which is the anachronism of the concept itself. The idea of consciously tuning instruments to an absolute value measured in cycles per second (cps), or today’s Hertz (Hz), is inextricably linked to the modern, scientific paradigm.
