Synopsis "Maya Stones are Singing: How the Music of One Man Listened"
MUSICAL SCALES that "sing" THE MAYAN CALENDAR Could they really exist?Indeed they do! And anyone holding this book can not only READ about them, but EXPERIMENT with them, since full tuning data is included here. As to their creator, JEREMY HALADYNA, here are clear case studies of the original music he devised to fold around his scale creations, much of it now commercially released. Here are scales that "sound out" the delicate dance of Earth and Venus, which the classic Maya observed with the keenest eyes, making them possibly the greatest Timekeepers that ever lived...there is even a scale here for the heart-stopping moment that was December 2012! Within these covers, too, are photos from the author's 10 trips to the Mayan region (Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras)--alongside a wide range of monochrome musical examples... fully covering the gamut from Mayan sport, to Mayan flora and fauna, through their colorful roster of traditional deities, to their own reckoning of ancient history.
