Mare is Christian Loefflers second studio album and follows in a similar vein to his self-released debut, A Forest. However a key difference is that while his first album was heavily sample-based, Mare is much more organic, in which nearly every sound and every instrument is self-recorded. Many of the albums ideas are based on field-recordings taken from the surroundings. On top of this, several microphones were set up in the room and left to run on for whole sessions. The microphones collected everything, from tapping, singing, playing, footsteps, as well as percussive elements.
Music is set at 440 Hz, a decision confirmed by a 1975 standard which becomes an international standard…
But it is this very change that is problematic for some people.
They believe that a frequency at 440 Hz is harmful and that the “right” frequency that aligns with the Earth is 432 Hz.
La musique est établie à 440 Hz, décision confirmée par une norme de 1975 qui devient un standard international.
Mais cest ce changement même qui pose problème à certaines personnes.
Elles estiment quune fréquence à 440 Hz est nocive et que la « bonne » fréquence qui saligne sur la terre est le 432 Hz.
