Personal Music

   Where it all started ....

"When I was six years old, I went to a Tchaikovsky Ballet, the Nutcracker Suite, with my family. As I watched the dancers and listened to the music I saw beautiful colors swirling around the audience. When I commented to my parents, they told me they couldn't see what I saw, although it seemed a perfectly natural phenomenon to me as a child.

Later, when I was older, I realized that the colors I had seen that evening represented the interaction between the music and the subtle radiant energy of the people as they listened.

Twenty-two years later, after completing a degree in Music Theory, I started to use my ability to "see" the effect of sound to play personal music compositions for people. After more than 2,000 of these compositions, I began to realize that there were repeating patterns in the music when a person had a specific area of their emotional expression blocked. Since then, I have been able to identify some fifty motifs or short musical phrases, each of which is used in specific situations." 
Arden Wilken - Co-Creator of INNER SOUND

INNER SOUND Motifs

These 'Motifs' that Arden speaks about are the basis for all the INNER SOUND techniques. In musical terms, a motif is a short musical phrase made up of several notes that create a distinctive rhythmic pattern.
INNER SOUND motifs have a simple musical structure. They are based either on the pentatonic (five-note) scale, which has occurred spontaneously in most cultures, or on the Pythagorean seven-note scale. The common element in both these scales is the interval of the pure fifth. This interval is the interval most commonly found in healing music both modern and ancient and occurs frequently in nature.

Our Sonic Pathways

Sound energy, in the form of mechanical waves, is transformed, as it enters through the ear, into electrical impulses, which travel through the network of connective tissue to all parts of the body. The systems of the body, whose resonant quality matches the motifs used, respond through sympathetic resonance.

The motif created a specific movement on a physical, mental, emotional , or energetic level . Helping the individual resolve blockages stored in the connective tissue. These blockages affect the organisms capacity to vibrate at it’s optimum potential.   

 INNER SOUND is a sound therapy system based on relative movement

The motifs can create either expansion or contraction for the human organism, whichever is necessary
The movement created by each musical motif can frequently be applied to different parts of the organism whether mental, emotional, physical or energetic. The use of the motifs does not propose an external structure of how the human organism should be or act or decree in what direction one should develop, it simply helps liberate trapped or blocked energy. The liberated energy, combined with the movement generated by the motifs, creates an impetus to help overcome the holding energy that prevents an individual from making the changes they want. For this reason, personal compositions are always structured based on the theme(s) requested by the client.

The Personal Music in Evolution

Four years ago, after twenty-five years of composing personal music using a midi controller keyboard and sampler, Arden evolved the personal music into a new, more effective form. By pre-recording the individual motifs using a large array of instruments, tempos, and arrangements, and then putting them together using a specialized computer, the options for focusing the effect of the music multiplied tenfold. This new type of personal music has been enthusiastically embraced, by those familiar with its original form as well as newcomers to Arden's work. Another benefit of this process for creating personal compositions is the ability of others to learn how to create these unique compositions. (See our Advanced Classes Page) 

What themes can I have music made for?

Expansion of consciousness 

and the list goes on.....

How long will my compilation be?

Your CD will be between 15-40 minutes in length, depending on the themes requested and other variables. 

How do I use my personal compilation?

You will receive detailed personalized instructions with your CD, the guidelines for each case will be different, but some examples of listening instructions are.... listen once a day using headphones, a good time would be in bed before sleep.... or .... listen 4 times a week as background music while working...
