This is not spiritual mumbo jumbo - just pure physics.
You can’t hear 120 Hz nor the trippy effect we discovered on your phone. Earphones or speakers recommended.
Shoutout to the priest’s son and my childhood friend @_the_bhat_07 for the help!

Every object & enclosed space carries its own natural frequency. This is called its resonance.
If you play this frequency back at the object or space, it begins to vibrate. Play it louder - and it shatters.
This is how opera singers shatter champagne glasses with their voice.
Every time I’ve chanted Om in a temple, I’ve wondered what it would be like to chant it at the resonant frequency of the chamber.
So I set out to try it.
My learnings:
1. Simply playing the resonant frequency of a closed space back to the room makes it feel alive & meditative.
2. We chant Om (Aa—uu-mm) as these vowel sounds cover all harmonics. Doing this in the resonant frequency feels like you’re flying through time & space
3. Playing with the pitch of the “mmm” allows for the cross-modulation / LFO effect you can hear in this video (if listening on earphones/speaker.)
4. I didn't know how to chant until @dragomfruit unlocked my voice.
5. I understand psy trance now
