Abstract
A broad method consisting of the composition and creation of music wherein musical cues are contained for the purpose of synchronizing the breathing cycle with a 5.88 second musical interval for the purpose of synchronizing the heart rate variability cycle with the breathing cycle. The method wherein a 5.88 second interval is incorporated into musical composition for the purpose of producing said music and the identification and incorporation of 21 novel tempos as the basis of producing said interval. Also addressed is the method and system of incorporating the 21 novel tempos into metronomes and music synthesizers for the purpose of producing said tempos and music of said tempos, respectively.
Claims43
A method for composition and creation of music, comprising:
- defining a musical tempo based on a heart rate variability cycle of a human, wherein a fundamental interval of the musical tempo is approximately half of a period of the heart rate variability cycle and the musical tempo includes a plurality of secondary intervals defined by division of the fundamental interval;
- creating a musical composition based upon the defined musical tempo;
- and
- providing musical breathing cues within the musical composition based on the fundamental interval and the plurality of secondary intervals for the purpose of synchronizing the heart rate variability cycle with a breathing cycle.
A system for composition and creation of music, comprising:
- a tempo generator adapted to define a musical tempo based on a heart rate variability cycle of a human, wherein a fundamental interval of the musical tempo is approximately half of a period of the heart rate variability cycle and the musical tempo includes a plurality of secondary intervals defined by division of the fundamental interval;
- and
- a control system adapted to:
- create a musical composition based upon the defined musical tempo;
- and
- provide musical breathing cues via the tempo generator within the musical composition based on the fundamental interval and the plurality of secondary intervals for the purpose of synchronizing the heart rate variability cycle with a breathing cycle.
