The World is Sound
272 pages, 1991
Scientists have for many years now been aware that the subatomic particles of an oxygen atom vibrate in a major key and that blades of grass ‘sing’. Europe’s foremost jazz producer takes the reader on an exhilarating journey through Asia, Europe, Africa and Latin America while exploring diverse cultural traditions and reaffirming what the ancients have always known: that sound is important not just in a musical sense but also in spiritual and philosophical ways.
Joachim-Ernst Berendt explores the profound impact of sound on our lives. He suggests that sound, not just music, has the power to heal, transform and connect us with the universe. This book will make you see the world of sound in a whole new light.
Berendt dives into the concept of music as a universal language. He believes that music transcends cultural and linguistic barriers, and can communicate emotions and experiences that words often fail to express. If you've ever felt moved by a song in a language you don't understand, you'll find this concept fascinating.
The World is Sound isn't just about music and spirituality. Berendt also delves into the science behind sound. He explains how sound waves work, how our ears perceive sound, and how sound affects our bodies and minds. If you're a science geek, you'll love this part of the book.
Berendt explores the spiritual aspects of sound. He discusses how different cultures use sound in their spiritual practices, and how sound can help us connect with our inner selves and the universe. If you're interested in spirituality, you'll find this part of the book enlightening.
Berendt doesn't just talk about the theory of sound. He also gives practical advice on how to use sound in your daily life, from using music to improve your mood, to using sound for healing and meditation. If you're looking for ways to improve your life with sound, this book is a must-read.
