I've never tried this, but I tend to agree with Bill that if the music is bad at A=440 it won't improve with a different tuning, or even a different key in normal tuning.
I think what drives this concept more than anything is the belief that somehow that frequency and the harmonics associated with it, as well as the frequencies for all the other notes using that standard and their harmonics, are somehow more in line with the resonate frequencies in the universe and therefore produces a better emotional response to music. Its a combination of a smattering of some isolated physics phacts with some Eastern mysticism concepts and such. Take it as you will. Still might be worth experimenting with it just for fun if nothing else. |
I know this is an old thread.
But there is extreme evidence for our 7 keys being tuned at 432 hertz vs 440 hertz.
When using a tone generator ...
One can create complex geometrical structures at 432 hertz.
But when the same test are performed at 440 hertz.
Those shapes are inconclusive or none existing,
Pythagoras understood this so he created the map"Circle of Fifths"
to be in perfect mathematical Harmony with individual notes.
So sound whether one believes it or not ? Can both create structures or destroy structures.
I use 432 Hertz because i can actually get natural harmonics all over the spectrum easier.
To me those are the building blocks to the next direction I head
When on my creative journey.
When mixing music one of the things we do first is try and eq or time align signals .
We try and correct pitch issues???
Why not start out with a perfectly more precise tuning .
That is mathematically in harmony already with each other.
Because at 440 Hertz you have to correct mathematically more.
Than one has too at 432 Hertz.
Pythagoras was no Dummy. Ha
