A FEW OF THE ITEMS WE WANT...
 | HARRY OLDFIELD Crystal (Rare 1990 UK 18-track LP including fold
out insert, also featuring Ken Thomas, Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson, John
Balance & David Tibet, picture sleeve. It has been widely accepted
over the ages that crystals and gemstones have intrinsic restorative
properties and have been used in an holistic manner in man's ancient
history and even in our more recent history in the Far East and India.
This amazing album features recordings of crystals laid on
Electro-Crystal Therapyunits in varying combinations, and special
frequencies pulsed into them. The resulting sounds were then
recorded. The crystals themselves are the sole source of all sounds
you hear on this recording. Both sleeve & vinyl are in superb 'as new'
condition! DURTRO003)

Harry Oldfield
Harry pioneered Kirlian Photography as a medical research tool in this country and abroad. From this he developed a three dimensional method of scanning the body using electrical fields. After discovering that diseased states manifest first in the body's energy fields, he went on to develop methods with which to treat these energy imbalances. These methods became known as Electro-Crystal Therapy.
Crystals
It has been widely accepted over the ages that crystals and gemstones have intrinsic restorative properties, and have been used in an holistic manner in man's ancient history and even in our more recent history in the Far East and India. Legends of their use have been traced back to ancient Egypt and further back to legendary Atlantis. These people did not wear gemstones just for decoration but for therapeutic reasons and mental needs. Moreover, the greek word for adornment was Cosmos, from which our own word cosmetic comes; but in Greek it also meant the world or universe and the gemstone was considered to help the wearer to get 'in tune' with the world about him. Quartz crystal has piezo-electric properties, which are the ability to respond in a definite and unique vibratory pattern when electrically or mechanically stimulated. These properties are due to the alignment of positive and negative charges within the crystal molecule and lattice structure. This alignment results in a stable and ordered electro-magnetic field. The energy field surrounding a human being is extremely complex and variable. When the energy fields of a crystal and a human interact, the focused pattern of the crystal has a stabilizing effect on that individual's energy field. The production of audible and ultrasonic sound in this energy arrangement is used to best effect in this recorded production of crystal sounds. Other crystals which have piezo-electric properties are topaz and tourmaline, and all of these types were used in this production.
Electro-Crystal Therapy
This is a method of diagnosis and treatment (invented by Harry Oldfield) whereby crystals are stimulated by pulsed high frequency electricity, generated by a battery operated unit. The minerals, gems and/or crystals are placed in a sealed glass tube filled with a brine solution. The stones are now electrically stimulated at various pulse repetition rates. The changes that occur in the crystals and in the human energy field have been shown by kirlian photography and by other monitoring methods. With this system we are inserting crystal energy directly into the body, as is also the case with this recording.
Notes On The Recordings
We used two Electro-Crystal Therapy sound generator units and the following crystals: a 6" synthetic quartz, a 7" flat cluster quartz, a 6" stick quartz, an 8" Madagascar quartz and a cluster of Tourmaline crystals held in a saline solution in a test tube. These were laid on the ECT units in varying combinations and special frequencies pulsed into them. The resulting sounds were then recorded. It is emphasized that the crystals themselves were the sole source of all sounds you hear on this recording.
Tracks 1, 3, 5, 10 and 11 were mixed and produced by Ken Thomas from crystal sounds supplied by the ECT units. Track 6 was mixed and produced by HÖH from the same sources. All other tracks are pure crystal sounds unaffected by any manipulation, though interference between the crystal's frequencies results in spontaneous and natural harmonics.
Harry Oldfield, London, April, 1990
Energy Is Eternal Delight
This piece can only be regarded as music insofar as it is organized sound.
No attempts were made to have the end result aesthetically pleasing and the main guideline in its construction was to follow and emphasize the characters of the crystal samples which were being used.
The basic sound source consists of sixteen digital samples of eight different crystals sampled at 44.1 kHz. It was discovered that the resonance between the crystals produced a pulse which varied between 102-118 beats per minute and so it was decided to build a basic rhythmic pattern which centres around 110 bpm. The results were recorded digitally and treated with rhythmic delays and three different 8 Hz pulses which in theory should be able to act as an external drive to the listener's brain and as a result produce alpha waves.
The full impact of this recording can only be felt by playing it through loudspeakers. Be careful however as it consists of extremely high frequencies and incorrect use may result in damage to your stereo system.
