We are A-lone - We are AL-one.
Singularly and collectively we are ONE...

I wanted to create a song with very few words, yet be deeply reflective. In this track, the listener is really the person that creates the lyrics within their own thoughts. How can ONE be singular and collective and the same time?

I wanted to show the singular nature by having ONE voice, then one by one others added, eventually building to a unified group chant of 'ONE' - we are ONE.

Luckily for me, my birthday fell on a Wednesday, which is the night of Sound Medicine in Ubud. At Sound Medicine i requested (for my birthday present), that the group of 40 attendee's sing 'ONE', in the key of B. I struck the chime and the group sang 'ONE'.

The other lyrics in the song are: WE ARE MADE OF MUSIC... every cell in our body is vibrating, individually we are an orchestra of vibration. These vibrations in us becomes ONE vibration, that is our unique vibration... As we all have an individual vibration, humanity is also made up of seven-billion vibrating beings. Together we make an orchestra. 

Go ahead - try it out, don't just listen to it with your ears... feel it. lay down - close your eyes and let your mind wander while your cells have a massage.

Featured on this track are vocalists Shervin Boolorian & Josephine Costain and Melbourne based textural/experimental guitarist Seth Rees.  It is also the track when the vibrating cymbal is used live...

On the 2nd of August 2014, Shervin and I went to the jungle with my ipod and 24 music demo's I had created over June & July.

I requested that Shervin rate my ideas and compositions in categories such as: Sound Healing Adaptability, Relaxation, Originality, Popularity Potential, Lyrical Content etc.  The idea being the  album would have equal percentage of everything. Where some songs lacked in areas, I reworked them. This exercise was also to highlight the top 12 tracks, all which would eventually become PERFECT FREQ!

Throughout Perfect Freq you will hear the sound of various bells. These are Ghanta bells, collected on a trip to Bangladesh in 2014. They are also incorporated into the live performance of Perfect Freq.

Historically speaking, bells are very spiritually significant.

Apparently, the bells in churches and temples are a symbolic sound of what exists within each human being, but it's the higher tones that we can't hear that are doing the work. Some believe that when the Soul is near breaking through into the Pure Spiritual realm, the Soul begins to hear a gong sound, or "the big bell sound" as some refer to such a sound.

All of these sounds emanate from the "Word" of God, and the various sounds reflect the less than Pure planes one moves through as one rises in purity. The bells of churches and temples are intended as reminders of what we ought to be listening for in our meditation.

There's a saying, "Every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings"? This is popularized in the movie from 1946, "It's a Wonderful Life" but is said to have been popular amongst children even well over a hundred years ago. Is there some link between bells and angels, possibly enabling their flight? Bells, chimes, jingles, cymbals and gongs are commonly said to be good luck and are often used to ward off evil spirits. Could the ringing of bells really exercise spiritual power, enabling some supernatural influence in the natural realm? While some believe and others doubt, there is a reality beyond superstition.

The Science Behind Temple Bells - Almost every ritual in Hinduism has a scientific reason behind it. Temple bells are no exceptions. Apparently Temples bells make a distinct sound that creates unity of the left and right hemisphere's of the brain. The moment a bell is rung, it produces a sharp and long lasting sound. They believe the echo of the sound from the bell touches the seven healing centres or chakras of the body. So, the moment the bell is rung, the brain goes blank for a few seconds and we enter a stage of trance. In this state of trance, the brain becomes extremely receptive and aware. Thus, when one enters the temple after ringing the bell, we become aware of our spiritual self.
