Faustus Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 It would be strange indeed if there were no "music of the spheres" "Indeed, all the spheres do it, all the planets and all the quasars and stars and moons and whirlpool galaxies, all vibrating and humming like a chorus of wayward deities singing sea shanties in a black hole. It's nothing new, really: Mystics and poets and theorists have pondered the "music of the spheres" (or musica universalis) for eons; it is the stuff of cosmic philosophy, linking sacred geometry, mathematics, cosmology, harmonics, astrology and music into one big cosmological poetry slam." "In other words, you love loud punk? Metal? Jazz? Deep house? Saint-Saens with a glass of Pinot in the tub? Sure you do. That's because somewhere, somehow, deep in your very cells and bones and DNA, it links you back to source, to the Earth's own vibration, the pulse of the cosmos. . ."

Ursus Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Yeah, between the Dionysian and Pythagorean allegories I thought it was relevant enough to post here. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
