2014 Professional Seminar: Hemi-Sync® Evolution (A.J. Honeycutt)

2014 Professional Seminar: Hemi-Sync® Evolution (A.J. Honeycutt) (Transcript) NOTE: This is an unedited transcript – it is exactly as created by otter.ai. 00:10 AJ got his degree from Emory and Henry in business and language, which language was that? Ha. All right. And, of course, he has been involved with us and starting here at the Institute and ninth year was this now 1992, Director of Operations, and he was the center manager. He was taking care of all of these buildings, the one up on the hill. Well, actually, I guess that was a house for a little bit then Right. But has been very instrumental not only in the management of the facilities, he also dealt with personnel, financial matters, you name it, he picked it up, along with various building projects that you were very instrumental in. Thank you for all of that. Then, in 1999 to 2004, he was actually the vice president of the Monroe Institute working under. Let's see, Laurie at the time, I suppose it was, in 2008. He became the Special Projects Manager at Monroe products. And then that time you were working with Theresa right? You have such good karma with women, you are so very fortunate. 01:30 In 2012, Ajay became the president of Monroe products. And since then, given all the advances in digital technology and whatnot has been working with that, putting forth a new business plan to keep Hemi sync products coming out in new and interesting ways. And we do intend to be working with AJ quite a bit in the future as we're looking at new programs as well, I guess that's enough. For the moment, I'm going to turn it over to my baby brother, the president of Monroe products, AJ honeycomb. 02:04 Thanks very much scooter, I appreciate being invited to this tech talk this morning. It's a wonderful opportunity to reattach, if you will, in this particular environment. I also understand that we're going to have a q&a at the end of our talk. So we can address specific questions, then, also, we're going to be listening to some sound clips. So they're usually about a minute, I'll be a little do a little standing with egg on my face, but that should be okay. I'm used to doing that. And so as we haven't been in this environment for a while, I thought we could start near the beginning. 02:48 Say in your mind, say to yourself, I am more than my physical body. Because I am more than physical matter. I deeply desire to expand, to experience to know to understand, to control, to use such greater energies and energy systems as may be beneficial and constructive. To me, enter those near and close to me. Also, I deeply desire the help and cooperation, the assistance, the understanding of those individuals whose wisdom, development and experience are equal or greater than my own. 04:18 Anybody have an emotional experience while listening to that? I know that I do as well. Let's Let's investigate. Let's take a look at the primary elements of Bob's works and what they are especially especially specific to this time. First it was his voice. What he said how he said it. He honed this quality over the years and I remember him in front of his mic and is trying to make sure that he got it in a special way. His reel to reels, his sound generators, his oscilloscope, it was really quite remarkable. He had all the tools there, but most notably his ashtray. He was one of those guys that would take the cigarette and he liked it and We'd all burned down by itself. So there would be like these little ash and caterpillars within all of the ashtrays. And of course, our mom whenever she was witness to that she'd be like, running around behind and waiting for the ash to drop. So that was one of those fun things that I remember my childhood. Second, secondly, within these primary elements is Bob's favorite use of phased pink noise. Whenever we jokingly refer to the nature of Hemi sync, we always go into that we all recognize it for what it was it was a bed was Bob's bed, it was this container. And as you all know, it was his Cloaker to back in those days in the essence of being able to provide the technology and the way that Bob operated, it was interesting for him to be able to display it in such a way that the raw tones weren't necessarily out there in everybody's face, but they are nestled into this other element which helps create the overall exercise. And third, and perhaps most important, importantly, is the Hemi sync with its tail tail vibrato. Do you guys recognize the focus level from Bob's affirmation? And he guesses Bueller. Focus to focus down we fast forward to the 80s and enter now enter meta music where we began to blend the technology within to the artists works. We wanted to create a souped up version that designed the enhance the intention of the overall composition. This is a sample from midsummer night this was composed by Alan Phillips in 1986 It's it's one of our first metal music titles. 07:06 Okay, so Hemi sync signature Did you guys hear the Hemi sync can hardly hardly hardly present in this case. But in this case, it's focused. This is the tried and true mix of delta and data signals that have been relaxing people for years. And although not as sexy as the higher focus levels, focus 10 is up and elegantly doing its job for about 40 years now. And what also makes this particular time remarkable. It's not necessarily tech oriented. But the cavalcade of wonderful artists that have shared their talents with us over the years, it's been a good run, and it's been getting better, but wanted to take this opportunity to to acknowledge that we've had a lot of wonderful people that have contributed their talents in order for us to create the products that we all benefit from during this time to an instrumental part of the metal music line. Pun intended, unfortunately, was an audio engineer, composer, musician, Mark sorta, sir sort of learn from Bob Well, he was a great guy and he he brought his own talents to bear as well. And he did a great job for us. So Mark was another one of those perhaps, as it rolls down through the the annals of time markers was another instrument and us becoming who we are and what we've sounded like over the years. Now as we move up into contemporary times, we've added a technical feature of key carriers. They help deliver the Hemi sync more effectively. Kevin Cowan, who's been with us as an audio engineer for eight years, he's learned his talents in establishing these carriers to help our current refined sound. Kevin has been a great asset in our Hemi sync audio endeavors, and we're going to listen to some of his efforts with an excerpt of Gary malkins The music of graceful passages. This excerpt that you're listening to is a music track only. Please note that there is no Hemi sync. 09:31 While we're listening to this, I can also tell you that Gary's musical passages have been very well received by the public. It's actually quite beautiful in and of itself. And you guys saw Gary's Gary's movie. He's a wonderful man. 10:19 Okay, so let's go race work without me without any other technology in it now let's listen to the key carriers associated with the same passage this is this the key carriers the technology involved. 11:30 That's pretty cool, isn't it? Yep. If the if you musical types in the room perhaps you could sort of recognize the chord progression of what we heard in the excerpt previous to that. But to put it all together now let's listen to the combined version of it this is the music and let me say. 12:54 Okay, so what, I'm sorry, what's the name of this one? Again, this is the music of graceful passages. And that this specific song, if you will, that that we're listening to is called letting yourself be loved. So what's kind of cool about that is that when we listen to that, the telltale signature that used to be what is Hemi sync within the body of these particular compositional works is has been relieved to a certain extent, we have the capacity to look at these particular items in software and determine what the binaural Rhett registrations are on um, so that we can look at old stuff and see that we're getting this kind of binaural res registration. And then when we have the ability to artfully fold into technology within this kind of stuff, we find that the binaural registration becomes more like this. This is very technical, you understand this. So what I'm what I wanted people to hear is the nature of the the articulate pneus, of which we can now utilize the technology within to the body of work. The primary point being is that it allows us to create stronger registrations within these works with less noticeable effect. And And so essentially, it's like having another instrument within our body of work. And that allows us to a more subtle, binaural impact, subtle binaural impact yet. And so, that has been something that's been in the works for quite a while. Obviously, the more you do it, the more better and effective that you become. And so we have been utilizing this wherever possible in order to be able to provide for more of the technology. As a contemporary mind food example, I wanted to expose you to Scott Taylor's fine work into the light and Scott's work explores near death experiences through guided meditations. And what we've done is we've amplified emphasize certain aspects of the sound clips to illustrate the the, the elements within them. So this isn't, this isn't what a final master of these particular exercises sound like. And like I said we've accentuated things so it's easier for you to hear. What I would like you to do is to note Bob specify focus 21 signals applied with the key ID carriers 15:39 out of the sacred Hall, out of the darkness, the light appears it grows larger and larger out of the light steps a divine being you recognize this sacred figure 16:14 exudes the energy of love, compassion, wisdom and acceptance 16:34 hit approaches, and you enter each other's energy field. 16:47 Join with the sacred law 16:57 sounds amazing, even when it's out of whack, for our listening pleasure. The cool thing about this and what I'm really excited about is Bob's going to be performing a tape day on Wednesday. And in his massive generosity, what we're going to be able to do is to listen to some Hemi sync exercises and have those Hemi sync exercises, we've chosen to do a couple of these, Scott Taylor works, which is specific to near death experience meditations which quite frankly dovetails quite nicely into the conversations that we've been having today. So as far as a thematic aspect of it, this is some of the work that we do down there to be able to create environments such that people that have experiences or actually would like to have these experiences have a model from which they can work from and use. So I look forward to everybody's listening to it. And perhaps more importantly, I'd like to hear people's feedback about it. It's, we can't do much without you guys. Given us what you think about it, how you feel about it, what you realized about it, what you've experienced about it, because essentially, it enables us to be able to do our jobs better. An important thing to make, the important thing to mention about this project is actually the musical score was composed specifically for this piece. This is actually another relatively new element and how we put things together. Oftentimes when we've done projects in the past, we've taken known musical compositions, things that we can find that are sort of applicable to the task and blend them and thusly. The with these particular works, what we're finding is that we're collecting composers that actually will sit down with us as part of the process to create these works so that the actual music track
