about

Planet: Sun
Tone: A
Mode: Dorian
Mood: Dispels Sleep

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

--

"In the midst of all these deeds and impulses of the planetary individualities stands the Sun, creating harmony between the liberating and the destiny-determining planets. The Sun is the individuality in whom the element of necessity in destiny and the element of human freedom interweave in a most wonderful way. And no-one can understand what is contained in the flaming brilliance of the Sun unless he is able to behold this interweaving life of destiny and freedom in the light which spreads out into the universe and concentrates again in the solar warmth.

Nor can we grasp anything essential about the nature of the Sun as long as we take in only what the physicists know of it. We can grasp the nature of the Sun only when we know something of its nature of spirit and soul. In that realm it is the power which imbues with warmth the element of necessity in destiny, resolves destiny into freedom in its flame, and if freedom is misused, condenses it once more into its own active substance. The Sun is as it were the flame in which freedom becomes a luminous reality in the universe; and at the same time the Sun is the substance in which, as condensed ashes, misused freedom is moulded into destiny — until destiny itself can become luminous and pass over into the flame of freedom."
