111 Hz frequency is associated with the production of endorphins. This healing frequency assists in cell rejuvenation and regeneration. By producing endorphins, 111 Hz relieves pain and elevates mood. It can increase feelings of overall well-being, empathy, and improves focus and memory.
Beginning with (and throughout) the sound of a 111hz tuning fork. Although there is little sound from a tuning fork in the air, placed close to a microphone the sound is picked up and amplified. The pitch is perfect for a male bass voice and can be sung as an Aum as in Buddhist practice. The vocal ostinato at 222hz (an octave above) appears shortly after the 111hz drone. A percussive beat fades to vocal vowel O-E drones which promote harmonics… the higher harmonic notes are then sung and towards the end an undulating phrase with harmonies closes the piece.
