Isobel McGilvray and myself developed a set of 7 healing tones in the 1980s which we called “ShapeTapes”. Here they are renamed “Sonic Shapes” in line with today’s media.
They use a weave of 128 harmonics over a drone, and are generated by a harmonic mathematics process whereby geometric patterns are used to seed a long timbral journey.
Included here are booklets by Isobel: one about their use, and one about research into their effects. The downloads are below the audio players.
Also here is the 2011 update the “rich healing tone” using thousand of harmonics, for the more adventurous.
As well as the set of 7, there is the original “UFO tone” from 1983, as well as an extra set of 6 that were created around the same time.
