about

Planet: Mars
Tone: C
Mode: Phrygian
Mood: Irascible or Choleric

"...Mars may be called the great “Talker” in the planetary system. Unlike Jupiter, who withholds his wisdom in the form of thoughts. Mars is constantly blurting out to the souls in his sphere whatever in the cosmos is accessible to him — which is not everything. Mars is the most talkative planet in our system, and he is particularly active when human beings talk in sleep or in dream. Mars has a great longing to be always talking, and whenever some quality in human nature enables him to make a man loquacious, he stimulates this tendency.

Mars does little thinking. He has few thinkers, but many talkers, in his sphere. The Mars Spirits are always on the watch for what arises here or there in the universe and then they talk about it with great zest and fervour. Mars is the planetary individuality who in the course of the evolution of humanity instigates human beings in manifold ways to make statements about the mysteries of the cosmos. Mars has his good and his less good sides — he has his Genius and his Demon. His Genius works in such a way that men receive from the universe the impulses for speech; the influence of his Demon results in speech being misused in many and various ways. In a certain sense Mars may be called the Agitator in our universe. He is always out to persuade, whereas Jupiter wants only to convince."

Rudolf Steiner - The Spiritual Individualities of the Planets

--

Background:...

In 2010 I began working with the planetary scales to provide musical accompaniment in Camphill communities. I focused primarily on the work done by Rudolf Steiner the book Harmonies of Heaven and Earth by Joscelyn Godwin.

After debuting these to the public in 2019 I realized these pieces can offer healing to the world outside of Camphill and I began a series of collaborations and restructuring of the pieces. These tones offer relationships to the cosmos and a way to create rhythm in daily life, and are composed with that in mind.

To deepen this experience the planetary seals are presented as album art, these seals (originally designed by Steiner) are skillfully painted by Sweden based art therapist Lina Algehov
