This piece features a justly-tuned scale,
two simple chord progressions
and visits every key.

each key is unique
and the chords in each key contain subtly different intervals.
It is designed to assist in
cycling energy
through the chakras as part of the
alchemical process.
Particularly effective for null meditation.
A4 = 432hz (approximately the resonant frequency of water)
Tempo = (at musician's discretion)
The parts are played at a 3:4 ratio in tempo.

sourceBy noon Carter reached the jasper terraces of Kiran which slope down to the river's edge and bear that temple of loveliness wherein the King of Ilek-Vad comes from his far realm on the twilight sea once a year in a golden palanquin to pray to the god of Oukranos, who sang to him in youth when he dwelt in a cottage by its banks. All of jasper is that temple, and covering an acre of ground with its walls and courts, its seven pinnacled towers, and its inner shrine where the river enters through hidden channels and the god sings softly in the night. Many times the moon hears strange music as it shines on those courts and terraces and pinnacles, but whether that music be the song of the god or the chant of the cryptical priests, none but the King of Ilek-Vad may say; for only he had entered the temple or seen the priests. Now, in the drowsiness of day, that carven and delicate fane was silent, and Carter heard only the murmur of the great stream and the hum of the birds and bees as he walked onward under the enchanted sun.
