^ Thank you for your constructive comment. However, I don't understand how people can 'know' it's bullsh*t since there is no collective way of perceiving music, nor is there a way to measure it.
I can understand musicians feel opposed to the suggestion of playing on 432 Hz, because it would make playing on some instruments quite difficult. It's hard to re-tune a piano and it get's even worse on a pitch perfect keyboard. But all this has nothing to do with this experiment.
Please just listen to the samples and write about your experience. And though I can understand your very critical, I would like to read about just that.

I've seen this topic posted on many other forums that have anything to do with music. It's all garbage. I cannot think of anything more retarded than worrying about whether the album you are listening to was played based around the A note being a frequency of 432Hz rather than 440Hz. Sorry, but you have to be an idiot to buy into this theory that music based around the A note of 432Hz is somehow inherently more relaxing.
When this was posted on Sevenstring.org, every single person there (since they are all musicians, unlike PA where not everyone is a musician) that posted in the thread apart from the OP who was trying to sell his theory, knew it was full of sh*t and just an absolutely absurd concept.

Wow, I thought that retuning made a huge difference since I immediately felt much calmer and relaxed when listening to the track... now how am I suppose to get back to my work after this?

Hey there, I would like to ask PA members to join this experiment.
Throughout the course of history the pitch of music was based on the A-note being played on 432 Hz. In a lot of cultures it was (and still is) believed this is the optimal pitch for spiritual and relaxed listening.
In the '40 of the previous century it was determined that the pitch of music should be based on a A-note of 440 hz. A lot of musicians protested against this decision.
Recently I discovered this and started testing the difference between the two. I play the electric guitar and have decided to play on the 432 hz ancient standard due to the result.
I would like to ask every-one to listen to these two samples (normal version and 432 hz version) of Pink Floyd - Marooned. Please comment whatever your experience was!
I'm studying to become a music therapist and I want to use this information for a survey in the future.
