Generations 1450-2050 Visualized and Sonified (TrackEarthOrbit InnerView)
This video is a visualization and sonification of about 600 years of Anglo-American history and future from 1450 to around 2050. "Anglo-American" means citizens of the British Isles and USA. The information is simultaneously shown in the following ways:
1. A scrolling time line showing various significant periods as well as lifetimes of classical composers. Presentation time is mapped to simulated World time via a simple linear scaling with 600 years covered in about 1.5 hours.
2. The 4 generational archetypes from Strauss and Howe's Generational Theory are mapped to the 4 quadrants of Ken Wilber's Integral Theory and the quadrants are highlighted as each generation passes through young adulthood--approximately age 20-40.
3. A view of the Solar System, simplified with evenly-spaced orbits, showing the positions and movements of the solar system bodies during the simulated time interval. The camera angle is a moving heliocentric Earth-focused view that tracks the Earth's solar orbit looking along a tangent to Earth's orbit from "behind" the sun.
4. A computer-synthesized voice depicting the years as they pass by as well is identifying important historical events and describing each generation as it comes of age using text from Strauss and Howe's own descriptions.
5. Normalized geocentric proximity drones: A sonification of the normalized geocentric proximities to the major solar system bodies. Each body is assigned a scale degree in a diamorphic* music scale rooted in C. The loudness of each tone varies continuously over time to track the instantaneous nearness to Earth of the corresponding body over time.
The bodies are mapped to the degrees of the scale such that planet number equals scale degree. So, for example, Mercury is the first degree of the scale (c natural) and Venus is the second degree (d natural). Exceptions are: the Moon, which is represented by the third degree, and the sun, which is represented by the 5th in the octave below the root.
The 3rds and 7ths vary in quality between major and minor resulting in a total of four combinations, yielding four different scale types, which are mapped to the currently-highlighted integral quadrant as explained in #2 as well as the generational archetype that's currently in young adulthood.
This mapping was chosen to maximize the perceived match between the emotional quality of the scale and the peer personality of the generational archetype as judged by me. Here is the mapping:
Hero Generation --- Ionian
Artist Generation --- Mixolydian
Prophet Generation --- Dorian
Nomad Generation --- Melodic Minor (ascending form)
*Diamorphic (isomorphic to the diatonic) means any seven-note scale with a root, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th. Alterations are allowed, but must not collide so, e.g. there can not be both an augmented 4th and a diminished 5th.

Stanley Jordan Plays the Periodical Table (Ionization Energies)
zhlédnutí 11KPřed 14 dny
The ionization energy is the amount of energy required to remove a single electron from an atom. If the atom has more than one electron, each one requires more energy than the previous one. The result is a series of increasing energy levels, and in the quantum world these energies correspond to frequencies, as in a musical scale. This raises an interesting question: if we could hear these frequ...

So beautiful! I’m glad I paid attention in chemistry class, because I remember the visuals of atoms and shells and electrons, so I can “picture it.” Your insight is truly a gift to our world. ❤
Singer sounds like Jerry!
The Bible lists the generations of man. Is that what you’re trying to prove here?
So glad you did this. I had explored some other ways of doing some simulations to help make the expression of each physical aspect more intuitive to the individual who would hopefully benefit from a most elementary sense of how to interpret this integrated reality. Very meta really. Is that too weird or too reaching? It would also be nice to see a waveform graphed in time with the sound.
Have you seen the new periodic table set up by frequency? It has octaves. And would make visual and phonetic sense. Love this, would download!
Remember he-man the movie ? He had some crazy musical instrument when he played it it opened up some portal to dimensions. lol. Trippy though
To translate ionization energies into sound waves I calculate frequency from energy using Planck's energy-frequency relation: v=E/h where: v = frequency (in Hz, or cycles per second) E = energy in joules h = plank's constant (6.62607015e-34). This results in ultrasonic frequencies, so I then apply the law of octaves to transpose them into the audible range without changing pitch class. In the case of multiple electrons I repeat this process to obtain musical chords and scales. Example: The ionization energy of hydrogen is 13 electron volts, which converts to 2.0828e-18 joules. So, by the Planck relation we get the frequency 3.143341306e15 Hz. To transpose that down, say, 44 octaves we divide it by 2^44, giving us 178.68 Hz, which is approximately F# below middle C.
Here because I’ve been listening to stanly my whole life.
Calling this Brilliant, doesn’t even touch it. This gives anything and everything a “voice”
How do you heal with this
Exactly
You might be able to relax by listening to this, but this doesn't heal anything. Your question doesn't even make sense and shows that you do not understand what he's doing here. This is art not science. He's a musician and not a physicist. He took the first ionisation energies of elements and asigned wavelenths to those ionisation energies. Yet you can't translate ionisation energies into sound waves. There's no connection in physics between ionisation energies and sounds. If anything you could asign a frequency to the photons that cause the ionisation, but that's not what he's doing. If you did that then you wouldn't be able to hear the sounds. Photons also have nothing to do with sounds. If you used photons of the correct wavelengths then those photons would be quite harmfull to human beings, since the would be in the UV range and above. You can see how our skin reacts to UV radiation, when you sit in the sun for too long. So, it doesn't mean anything to associate sound waves with chemical elements. And if you used the frequencies of the photons used to ionize those elements, then those would do the opposite of healing you, they would burn your skin. Physics and chemistry is fun. The best way to learn it is to go to school or by schoolbooks at the appropriate leven and do all the problems set (very important) and then progress to the next level from there.

This project uses sound and music as a modality for understanding some of the physics underlying chemistry. At the end I gave some thoughts on applying it to both science and art, but I didn't touch on the topic of healing. There are some thoughts and links about that on my stanleyjordan .com Web site in the music therapy section.
@@stauffap that’s right I don’t understand I’m not a scientist that’s why I’m asking. Hellooo
Terrance Howard Joe Rogan brought me here. So if you have low levels or one of these within your body could this be used to give more vitamin d or copper
Your question doesn't even make sense. If you had what in your body? Are you asking if you could play these frequencies in your body to give it copper or vitamin D? If that's your question then the answer would be no. No, sound doesn't create elements in your body. I think, you're misunderstanding this video. The guy in the video is a musician and what he's presenting is art and not physic. The sounds have no relevant physical meaning. He's representing ionisation energies with certain frequencies of sound. Since that doesn't make sense physically he can do that any way he wants. Of course he does it in a way that makes us hear the sounds. But again there's no connection in physics or chemistry between those sounds and those elements. If you want to learn physics are chemistry then please buy a chemistry or physics book with lots of problem sets for you to solve. Not only will it be fun, but you'll also understand a lot more about the real substance of our world. The world become very weird and exciting when you go down to the level of atoms and subatomic particles. It's worth learning the basic of physics and chemistry also because when scientists talk about things like energy and frequency you actually understand what they are talking about.
This is the future.

Wow- What a treat man! Sounds so smooth and together. A+ everybody!
Here because of Eric Weinstein
I've been familiar with you for years, I love your guitar playing!...and I've seen you play live with DMB but I had no idea you were working on this amazing topic! (that I've wondered about many times).. Incredible...Thank you so much for sharing.
What is it about an element that translates to a specific tone?
Each element has a tone for each of its electrons. Each electron has an ionization energy, which corresponds to a frequency, and my app transposes that frequency down into the audible range. That's the gist of it.
And everyone thought Terrence was crazy
My mother bought your album Flying Home in the early 90s and we would play it all the time. It has had a huge impact on my life and I never forgot about you. But it's ironic you did this because I eventually grew up to get in to science and sonification.
Here from New Zealand because of Eric. Btw lower the note slower it's vibration/movement.
When I heard you were pursuing a PhD in music I never would have dreamed anything like this! You never cease to blow my mind Stanley.
Thanks, but not currently pursuing a PhD in music. However, I would love to do just that--some day perhaps...
This is a better version than the original from MJ
lmfao and here all this time I've been creating the bleeps and bloops of the universe with a cheap synth, incredible
Excellent investigation Mr. Stanley. I send you my own investigations escalamusicalaureadennismateis.blogspot.com/ Thank you!
Everything's connected. Got here from Brockley, London, England, because of a Tweet by Eric Weinstein recommending Stanley Jordan's Sonification project which intrigued me. I'm working on a project to Save Britain's Pubs, called The People's Pub Partnership. I'm VERY interested in musicians playing live gigs in pubs to make new ideas and exciting, innovative music accessible right to audiences of everyday people who'd likely never, ever come across mind expanding concepts outside of going to The Pub... where meeting people you'd never meet otherwise to exchange ideas is not weird but just normal. Everyone is connected - and this reminds me of a book called The Music of The Primes by mathematician by Marcus Du Sautoy from Oxford University
Not even considered in the RS best 500 guitarists what a joke RS is this man is a genius
This is very interesting
bro is in 60s and have zero gray hair
Going from Nitrogen to Oxygen sounds beautiful
It's really incredible that you had this idea, built an app to bring it into reality, and explained it all in a way that's easy for even a layman like myself to follow and understand. Thank you! Edit: I didn't listen through to the end for the song, so cool! I loved the arrangement, hope you upload it separately.
Thank you Stanley. 😍 Been following your music for decades.
NGL also here because of Eric!
This is a nice visual representation
I want to Download this app
Coming back to this a few days later. My mind is swimming with questions and possibilities. Have you ever tried “reverse quantizing” songs onto the periodic table? E.g. take Mary Had a Little Lamb or whatever and shift the notes to the nearest note on the periodic table.
Great idea!
What a ridiculous 28 minutes. Lol
Eric Weinstein said to come here, so here I am.
Listening at minute 11~ my dog is going crazy in a positive way reacting to the notes.
can we download this as an app?
Not yet but I'm working on it...
Excellent excellent stuff!!!
APL was the first programming language I learned in 1974 lol.
What APL system were you using, and are you still using APL now?
Love it
Can't wait to see this free in AC Thursday.
Ok, so I started studying guitar seriously a few weeks ago and it just struck me as making more sense to tune the guitar to all fourths due to symmetry, I searched about it and found Stanley as a proponent of it, so I found out your amazing unique way of playing and now I'm seeing music made out of ionization energies, and this is your official channel which actually has less than 2k subs, what kind of rabbit hole have I fallen into? 😍 this is straight up mad scientist stuff and it should be viewed by millions
I had no idea Master Stanley's brain was as big as the galaxy! 🤯
I would like to have the table and app as a MIDI controller and explore tonal relationships of various elements that make common substances (e.g., what would sodium chloride sound like) . Because of this video i have a new musical direction. Thank you.
Yes, there's a lot there. I've also done some work on sonification of compounds, but this project here is just element ionization energies. In general there's lots of real data from the natural world that can serve as inputs to our musical creativity.
Is this a program we can get?
At 48 mins I thought Knight Rider was coming 😄 Love this, need to understand more about the science and maths but happy to just enjoy your breakdown and creation of the periodic table as sound 🙌🌟
Thank you, amazing music. It's possible create mix of elements, in a composition ¿H²O for example? Fantastic Master.
I am here also because of Eric, but I have been your fan for a few years, at least five not that it matters but... I heard you and loved you and Charnett Moffett together, bless his soul ❤❤❤❤
