robert.homoki - 08/02/00 11:17:22 My Email:robert.homoki@berlin.de | Comments: I have just read an article in the berliner zeitung about the carnyx and the pyramid echo. i grew up in Bremen and my father was a classic clarinettist in the philharmonic orchestra in bremen. we have a brilliant musichall called "die Glocke" (=the bell) t's supposed to be amongst the 10 best acoustics in europe. i used to listen to him playing there. eg. mozart concerto A major. we all know it from the movie "out of africa". i myself played the tuba in the orchestra and i still have a band. i also worked in a trombone manufacture. i just wanted to tell you much i appreciate your work, especially in these motorized times. something i am particularly interested in is the sounds in the womb. i wonder what they are like. as you may know, techno-music is quite fashionable here. i wonder if there is a kind of conditioning phase for the baby's hearing and feelings for harmony in rythm and melody.that might have been spoiled by engine-sound and therefor created a preference for techno-music. anyhow, goodluck for y ur work and if you have some sort of a newsletter i would be glad to join. greetings from berlin. robert homoki |

Anyah Dishon - 03/07/00 01:33:26 My URL:http://www.artsciencematrix.com My Email:Anyah7777@aol.com | Comments: Since I am a singer songwriter and musicologist, I am fascinated by your theory. I took agree with you, that we will see sound and hear color and you are proving this theory I have had for 10 years, but didn't know how to approach it! I am visiting Chi hen Itza again and will pay much more attention. I have been studying the Mayan civilization for 10 years now, and back and forth to Mexico. I sing in the pyramids. I sang in Pacal's chamber when a bird was frantically flying trying to get out and afte I sang prayers of protection and mantras this bird settled down and was able to get out. I believe the glyphs will have information that number frequencies and tones that help us to biolocate. I believe the Mayans (around 1,000 b.c.) left this technolo y for us to be able to use in transporting to other regions beyond ours. In some of the glyphs in Yaxalan, there is record of Mayans that come from another star system, looking like chinese/ethiopian features and sitting with a Buddha posture. I believe it is a star system with 3 suns, and so is not in this galaxy, but very far away. I believe they were able to transport to other galaxies through humming (vocally)in these labyrinth chambers and they were able to speed up the body's molecular structure t at way to transport physically. Through researching your theories and with a little more practice you will prove this also! I have been able to intone and sing with sacred sounds, sacred prayers inside these pyramids (with written permission from the Mex co government) and so have a physical experience of the interdimensions that exist. This is physcial evidence, not mental. I would love to hear from you all more on this. I will be visiting Mexico in the next two weeks and this information is so very elpful. Thank you! Anyah |

Wazt - 03/01/00 02:17:52 My Email:WAZT-KMT-1@worldnet.att.net | Comments: Fresh concept. Analysis of petroglyphs using this conceptual model may yield more valid information to use in relating the art to the culture and civilization of the artists. I agree that ritual acoustic instruments seem to have been used in association w th community rituals. Current shamans are known to also use acoustic techniques to obtain an altered state of consciousness for their spiritual and healing work. All I can say is, "Hmmmmmmmmmmm............................" |

Larry Larason - 01/14/00 03:28:50 My Email:larason@cia-g.com | Comments: I've been interested in the acoustics of rock art sites for several years, but haven't pursued it in detail. First, a couple of comments on your list of sites in Utah: I just visited the Procession Panel on Comb Ridge last November, but did not notice an acoustical phenomena there. I have camped several times near the Sand Island panel and not noticed any echoes. However, I have noticed great sound reflectance at all of the Barrier Canyon style sites I have seen, e.g., Horseshoe Canyon, Sego Canyon, the Bird Site in Canyonlands. While I was at the Sego site the first time, I was alone. A train was passing by...3 miles away?...but it sounded like it was coming right up the canyon at me. Also, at the Sinbad site [another Barrier Canyon style], the sound from the Interstate seemed much closer than they actually were. I mused that a shaman had made his home there where no one could visit him without his being aware that they were coming. I plan to re-visit the Procession Panel next spring, so, after rea ing your web site, I guess I will pay more attention to the acoustics there. |

Jack Ames - 12/29/99 11:02:21 My Email:new_beat@one.net.au | Comments: Wow! I am just blown out! I never imagined such a thing as "recordings" from ancient (sacred) sites ... I have though, long been interested in the theory that certain mimicking birds, i.e., lyre birds, etc., imitate the voices of long-extinct animals ... have had some interesting experiences in this area while living in the rainforests of northern New South Wales, Australia. Many thanks for your work ... |

Patricia Doornbos - 11/13/99 20:59:09 My Email:patsykg@hotmail.com | Comments: I have enjoyed your site so much. We live in Sedona Az and have been to many of the sites you listed. We kept fussing about Woo canyon being defaced until Forest Service finally did something about it. We have never been to Heiroglyphic Canyon and would ike to see it before we get too old to climb. Could you tell us where it is located? Is it in Yavapai Wash, and if so, where is that?? Sorry so many questions but we think the rock art is so beautiful and love to "go see". Anything you can send us on great sites in Arizona would be very much appreciated. Thanks so much. Patricia Doornbos. |

It is considered one of the mo t important in the world; it is situated in a deep valley with very difficult access. A huge dam (it would be the biggest in Portugal) was being constructed, but the project was halted (a very controversial decision) and the site has become a National Pa k. |

Darlene Cates - 02/25/98 01:16:06 My Email:dmc417@lcc.net | Comments: I have been fascinated by my own experiences in viewing rock art...how it has crept into my own artistic expressions...and have enjoyed the "vibes" of the sites I've visited...but this idea of the acoustical importance of rock art sites is a new one to me It certainly makes sense in view of the ritualistic theories surrounding the art that sounds would also play an integral part. Really great stuff. Thanks and continued good work! |

Jeff LaFave - 01/11/98 06:52:52 My Email:jflghost@cts.com | Comments: Nice site - I had experienced the ringing rock at Painted rocks in AZ and was aware of Renegade Canyon and Wikwik (thought I have not found this site yet). I didnt realize how prevalent acoustic phenomena were in relation to rock art and your theory seem to "ring true". I will have to keep this in mind in the future when I check out new sites. You might check out the Indian Valley rockshelter/cave which is a summer and vernal solstice site w/ some pictos on the ceiling. It is in the Anza - Borrego dese t. Good luck and keep up the interesting work. |
