Brain Machine – Tamas Lab

A BRIDGE BETWEEN ART AND SCIENCEThe idea behind this kind of music arises out of a new view of the world as exemplified by fractal geometry and chaos theory, which seek an orderly structure underlying seemingly chaotic processes. Two examples of “chaotic” processes that are familiar everyone are the falling of rain and wood burning in a fire place. Both sounds reflect perpetual change or growth, which can have an effect that is relaxing, soothing, or even exciting.Tamas CDs are audible exploration of the complex interrelationships that lie at the heart of the dynamic world of chaos. The sounds can be graphically illustrated on a computer screen as colored fractal mandalas that appear in a infinite variety of forms.Mathematical systems involving complex measurements underlie this music. They are used to compute series of figures, which in turn are converted into musical scores that are mostly interpreted in a mediative nature. Out of this arise pieces including The Wheel, which turns on its own like a voyage into the waves of breath or the ocean, and Mandala Music, with exotic jungle rhythms that call out from a distant place.

HEMISPHERIC SYNCHRONIZATION AND 3-D SOUNDThe music from Tamas Laboratorium is strangely beautiful. It can be haunting or even apocalyptic, but it’s always harmonious and emotionally inviting. Elemental sounds of nature — flowing water, falling rain, rushing wind and clapping thunder, crackling fire, the rising and falling of breath — surround you with the feeling of a warm, living presence, while an ethereal synthesizer and soft percussion transport you to another place and time. Theta and delta binaural beat signals are used to create a state of harmony within the brain and deepen your experience. Listening to the Tamas Laboratorium soundscapes draws you into a world you may never have visited, but where you’ll immediately feel at home. The Tamas CDs can be used for meditation, trance dance, deep relaxation, body and breath work and inner exploration.What Are Binaural Beat Signals ?The stereo sounds bring the brain into a specific frequency of oscillation. This principle is known as FFR, frequency following response. In this way for example on the right side 400 Hz and on the left side 410 Hz will be played. Through this it will happen without one hearing it, that the brain will arise a beat, a resonance of 10 Hz in the alpha wave region. It is of course not important really that you understand the physiology and the physics of these matters but that it functions, that is what is important.

Diagnostic methods such as a brain-mapping and EEG examinations and the experience of users confirms the effect. In order to attain optimal results various different frequencies are used and they are mixed up with each other. What this means concretely is that through EEG measurements you will see the appearance of different patterns of consciousness. of course this signals can not force your brain into this FFR, as your psyche can resist this or it may not allow the effect to take place. If you are in especially wound up or if you are very much under stress it takes longer until the effect will take place. Therefore we have on these CDs additional acoustic and musical elements which will help to relax you so that the effect will take place.
