Composer Marjorie de Muynck first envisioned a piece of music in the alternative tuning of Ohm (between C and C#) in early 2000. There's No Place Like Ohm, a pioneering work in the earth based key of Ohm, was released in 2003. In There s No Place Like Ohm Vol. 2, de Muynck further develops the idea of a sacred sound journey through the use of indigenous and acoustic world instruments. Each of de Muynck's ambient recordings are shamanic musical compositions featuring sounds from the natural world.Percussion instruments were intentionally not used in this composition, which aims instead to feature the rhythms and pulses of the natural world. Wind instruments made of wood were chosen because of their unique ability to evoke nature; the clarinet and Native American flute for their ability to mimic bird songs and their flight, the didgeridoo for its serpentine and earthy rhythm and tone. The Middle Eastern oud was chosen for its ability to conjure up images of landscape, sand and sun, and the African kora (a gourd) a string instrument, when played, gorgeously summons the elements and the feeling of sunlight and rain. The Ohm drone present throughout this recording is a creative blending, complex and rich with overtones. A drone holds sacred ground throughout a musical journey. One can easily understand why it is an element frequently used in world music.This is de Muynck's second sound healing recording in what has become her signature tuning of Ohm, known for its soothing and healing properties. About Ohm: The Ohm tone is based on the measured frequency of the elliptical orbit of the Earth as it travels around the Sun through four seasons. Resonating with this quintessential earth tone is grounding, centering and energizing; it creates a feeling of spaciousness in your body and psyche, releasing stress and tension.Marjorie de Muynck is a pioneer of four influential musical compositions in the Key of Ohm™: There's No Place Like Ohm Volumes 1 & 2 (2002 & 2005), In the Key of Earth, and Vibrational Healing Music (2007, 2009).An eclectic mix of experience as a musician, composer, recording artist, healing arts practitioner and educator, combined with a scientific understanding of vibration and sound, led de Muynck to create Ohm Therapeutics™, a comprehensive vibrational healing system which combines the application of tuning forks and other sound healing tools with music composed in the same healing frequency of Ohm.
