And while he holds no instrument, as the lights dim, he begins to play. Breaking into some kind of weird post- modern tai chi, he slowly sways his arms back and forth as waves of ambient tones wash over the audience, getting louder and softer as his muscles tighten and relax. He wafts his right hand forward, and wind chimes add to the confusion of this one-man "virtual orchestra."

  • Sonic, Infrasonic, and Ultrasonic Frequencies
    SONIC, INFRASONIC, AND ULTRASONIC FREQUENCIES: The Utilisation of Waveforms as Weapons, Apparatus for Psychological Manipulation, and as Instruments of Physiological Influence by Industrial, Entertainment, and Military Organisations. TOBY HEYS A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Liverpool John Moores University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2011 1 ABSTRACT This study is a trans-disciplinary and trans-historical investigation into civilian and battlefield contexts in which speaker systems have been utilised by the military-industrial and military-entertainment complexes to apply pressure to mass social groupings and the individuated body. Drawing on authors such as historian/sociologist Michel Foucault, economist Jacques Attali, philosopher Michel Serres, political geographer/urban planner Edward Soja, musician/sonic theorist Steve Goodman, and cultural theorist/urbanist Paul Virilio, this study engages a wide range of texts to orchestrate its arguments. Conducting new strains of viral theory that resonate with architectural, neurological, and political significance, this research provides new and original analysis about the composition of waveformed geography. Ultimately, this study listens to the ways in which the past and current utilisation of sonic, infrasonic, and ultrasonic frequencies as weapons, apparatus for psychological manipulation, and instruments of physiological influence, by industrial, civilian, entertainment, and military organisations, predict future techniques of socio­ spatialised organisation. In chapter one it is argued that since the inception of wired radio speaker systems into U.S. industrial factories in 1922, the development of sonic strategies based primarily on the scoring of architectonic spatiality, cycles of repetition, and the enveloping dynamics of surround sound can be traced to the sonic torture occurring in Guantanamo Bay during the first decade of the twenty-first century.

  • Sound, Frequency and Healing
    By Robin Richardson If you wish to understand the Universe, think of energy, frequency, and vibration. ---Nikloa Tesla Water is conduit of Sound and Vibration. Water and Sound http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uENITui5_jU&feat ure=youtu.be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naZr5kkAzYM Sound influences and moves water. Water is a conduit. Earth has its own frequency. Schumann Resonance 7.83 Hz Research is showing that being exposed to this frequency is absolutely integral to us. It controls our mental and physical health, it synchronizes our circadian rhythms, and it aids our immune system and improves our sense of well being. Not only are we surrounded by natural frequencies, our bodies are filled with them too. Our cells communicate using electromagnetic frequencies. Our brain emits a constant stream of frequencies and our DNA delivers instructions, using frequency waves.

United States District Court for the Northern District of California Date decided May 11, 2009 Citations 91 U.S.P.Q.2d 1430 Judge sitting Jeremy D. Fogel Case holding Case Pending; Defendant's Motion to Dismiss Denied; Defendant's Motion for a more definite statement Granted in Part, Denied in Part. Keywords Copyright, DMCA, Lanham Act, Trademark, Unfair Competition Facebook, Inc. v. Power Ventures, Inc. is a lawsuit brought by Facebook in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California alleging that Power.com [1], a third-party platform, collected user information from Facebook and displayed it on their own website. Facebook claimed violations of the CAN-SPAM Act, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act ("CFAA"), and the California Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act.[2] According to Facebook, Power.com made copies of Facebook’s website during the process of extracting user information. Facebook argued that this process causes both direct and indirect copyright infringement. In addition, Facebook alleged this process constitutes a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). Finally, Facebook also asserted claims of both state and federal trademark infringement, as well as a claim under California's Unfair Competition Law ("UCL"). Power.com filed a motion to dismiss the case (or in the alternative, a motion for a more definite statement), but Judge Fogel denied the motion. In a counter-claim, Power.com alleged that Facebook engaged in monopolistic and anti-competitive behavior by placing restraints on Power.com's ability to manipulate users' Facebook data even when their consent was given.[3] Background Power Ventures operates Power.com, a website that enables its users to aggregate data about themselves that is otherwise spread across various social networking sites and messaging services, including LinkedIn, twitter, Myspace, and AOL or Yahoo instant messaging.
