about

Cosmogon is a transposition of the solar system planets movements into frequencies and rythms.
The Cosmogon partition is based on the researches of swiss mathematician and musician Hans Cousto, who in 1978 discovered the natural law of what he calls the “Cosmic Octave”, linking different types of natural periodic phenomenas such as orbits planets, time, colors, musical rhythms and frequencies. Through the law of the octave, it is possible to transpose the entire solar system to the scope of the hearing, where the number of octaves represents a scale, the same way as a landscape is represented on the scale of a map.

Cosmogon est une transposition du mouvement (rotation et révolution) des planètes du système solaire en fréquences et rythmes rendus audibles par un travail de multiplication d’octave.
La partition de Cosmogon est basée sur les recherches du mathématicien et musicologiste suisse Hans Cousto, qui a découvert en 1978 la loi naturelle de ce qu’il appelle l’”octave cosmique”, conception reliant différents types de phénomènes périodiques naturels comme les orbites des planètes, le temps, les couleurs, les rythmes musicaux et les fréquences. A travers la loi de l’octave, il est possible de transposer tout le système solaire à la portée de l’ouïe, où le nombre d’octaves représente une échelle, de la même manière que l’on représente un paysage sur l’échelle d’une carte géographique.

Frequencies and sinus waves used and multiplied in Cosmogon :
Sun : 8th octave at 126.22 Hz, Earth-day : 24th octave at 194,18 Hz, Earth-year : 32nd octave at 136,10 Hz, Moon : 29th octave at 210.42 Hz, Mercury : 30th octave at 141.27 Hz, Venus : 32nd octave at 221,23 Hz, Mars : 33rd octave at 144,72Hz, Jupiter : 36th octave at 183,58Hz, Saturn : 37th octave at 147,85Hz, Uranus : 39th octave at 207.36, Neptun : 40th octave at 211,44 Hz, Pluto : 40th octave at 140.25 Hz
