The relation of sound frequencies with the human
physiology, movement and emotion. The idea
behind this research arose from a series of data
based on scientific studies and observations:
Specific sound frequencies can be heard up to 5
kilometres travelling through the air and up to 20
kilometres in the form of seismic waves travelling
through the ground. High frequency sound waves
can transform small drops of water into complex
geometric shapes, while lower frequencies create
simpler forms. Thus, how do sound frequencies
influence the physiology of the body, consisting
of 65-70% water? How is that combined and
connected with movement and emotion?
