Heard nationally on syndicated radio programs, Wheel of the Year is a relaxing and calming blend of Celtic, African, Latin, World and Contemporary musical styles.
In Tune With The Earth
Tuned to the pitch of an Earth Year (see sidebar) , this album is also based on the the ancient Celtic Wheel of the Year, which divides the year into 8 even divisions.
These 8 days are the winter solstice, spring equinox, summer solstice, fall equinoxes, and dates that occur halfway (or 45 days) between each of the above.
Used By Doctors and Hospitals
Wheel of the Year is being used by surgical teams in hospitals, in doctors offices, optometrists offices, even Lamaze classes. Fans have called this masterful and magical music "Mystical...Haunting...and Enchanting".

"A dazzling feast for the ear." –Magical Blend Magazine

The Earth Year Frequency
This ancient frequency was re-discovered by French mathematician Hans Cousto.
A Siderial Year is 1 revolution of the earth around the sun - 365.256 days, or 365 days, 6 hours, 9 min, 9.7676 seconds.
To enable us to hear the Earth Year pitch, we will raise it by using octaves.
Take any musical note (say the "A" above middle C, at 440 cycles per second) and double the pitch and you have raised that note by an octave. It is still the same note name, in this case, it is still an "A", only higher pitched at a frequency of 880 cycles per second.
If we raised this pitch 32 octaves (i.e., doubled the frequency 32 times) it would now be in the range of human hearing. This new frequency is 136.10 Hz. You will not hear this frequency in most modern music, as it falls between C and C#.
In other places around the world it occurs quite often. Indigenous native peoples all over the world chant or tune instruments to this tone. In India, it is often the "drone" or continuous note played behind meditative music.
This frequency is excellent for meditating and is used on the NeuroHarmonic Meditation recordings as well as the “Wheel of the Year” CD.

Calming music doesn't have to be boring.
