The Harmonic Sound Garden creates a dynamic
synergy between Art & Science, Nature and the Element
of Water.
It is a living and interactive Soundscape inviting the public
to enter into its multi-dimensional energy field. Carefully
laid out benches, plants walkways and fountains provide
a perfect setting within which to relax and enjoy the visual
and audible beauty of a variety of contemporary acoustic
sculptures called wind Harps.
The entire Sound Garden including the Wind Harps are designed
using the principles of sacred geometry which are intended
to create a visual and auditory ambiance that supports a
contemplative experience. The water flowing throughout the
garden has a strong affinity for the harmonic sound generated
by the Wind Harps and its functions as a receptive and living
entity eager to embody and outflow the harmonic tones generated
by the Wind Harps.
The Harmonic Sound Garden demonstrates a 21st Century approach
to new dimensions in healing & balance using the co-creative
qualities of sound and water.

Water and Sound
The incredible sensitivity that water exhibits in its ability
to hold and remember vibrational information is beautifully
documented in the well known research of Dr. Masaru Emoto,
a Japanese Scientist. Books written are: Hidden Messages
in Water and the True Power of Water.
Dr Emoto’s extensive research involved taking samples
of clean and vibrant water, samples of polluted dead water,
samples of water exposed to beautiful relaxing classical
music and samples of water exposed to discordant music and
negative thought forms. The water was frozen on small petri
dishes and then photographed using dark field microscopy
as crystals began to form. The results consistently showed
that the healthy & vibrant water held a beautiful and
symmetrically ordered hexagonal crystalline matrix. The
polluted & dead water had no order or symmetry whatsoever
in its crystalline structure. The photographs of the frozen
water samples varied in their complexity and levels of order
depending on the purity or state of consciousness of the
water. This research is very similar and supported by that
of CYMATICS which demonstrates that sound profoundly structures
and organizes matter. Water has been found to be the most
sensitive medium not only on this planet but in our bodies
(our blood is 90% water) to hold, remember and communicate
this vibrational information.
If you have further interest about water’s sensitivity
and ability to hold vibrational information I suggest that
you read the two books cited above by Dr. Masaru Emoto and
also read “The Field” by Lynne McTaggart.
Water and the Harmonic Sound Garden™
The whole purpose of the harmonic Sound Garden is to create
a totally interactive outdoor soundscape with Wind Harps
designed (using the principles of sacred geometry) to generate
an ambient field of harmonic tones, totally orchestrated
and ignited by nature.
Harmonic sound can also be experienced in nature from many
sources such as waves crashing on the sea shore, wind blowing
through the Aspen leaves on a high country hike, listening
to the crickets on a warm summer evening or human voices
singing in a harmonic choir.
The effect of listening to these sounds has a relaxing and
centering effect on one’s state of consciousness.
This is due in degree to the fact that these types and qualities
of sounds entrain the brain wave patterns to resonate in
the alpha frequency band which are known to induce a relaxed
and receptive state of consciousness. This is an experience
that is dynamic always new and only happens when the awareness
is focused in the now.
Consider the possibility that the Harmonic Sound Garden
can also create the conditions that support this experience
with the added ingredient of the element of water to fully
interact with the sound by not only holding this vibration,
but also communicating this vibration of balance and wholeness
to other water molecules in and around our human and planetary
bodies.
“Water
is sensitive to a subtle form of energy called Hado. It
is this form of energy that affects the quality of water
and the shape in which the water crystals form. I use Hado
to mean all the subtle energy that exists in the universe.
All existing things have a vibration, or Hado. This energy
is often positive or negative and is easily transmitted
to other existing things. The thought “you fool”
carries its own Hado, which the water absorbs and displays
as deformed crystals when frozen. On the other hand, when
the water has been exposed to positive thoughts, beautiful
crystals are formed that reflect the positive Hado.
Hado as you can see is integrally woven into the implications
of water’s response to information.” --excerpt
