All titles are composed by Arden Wilken and recorded by Jack Wilken

Most of our titles were created when we were living and traveling in Europe from 1983 to 2004 when we moved back to the US. First came the therapeutic music and then the Spiral of 5th Tuning Forks.

Since 1978, more than 100,000 individuals have experienced the transformative benefits of our therapeutic music.

Our Sonic Pathways

Pier-reviewed article

This article explains why it is beneficial to listen to music that makes you uncomfortable.

Recording

History

When we started recording our music in 1984 we were on the cusp of the transition from analogue to digital
We didn't know anything about recording, but figured it out as we went along with a lot of help from Pro Audio stores and magazines in the UK
We quickly realized that digital was the way of the future
Our search was for the perfect digital piano sound, Arden's premier instrument, and crystal clear music- the notes surrounded by silence
We found both after many years when technology finally caught up to the dream

Jack Wilken's work

SSRS, Spectrum Sound Resonance System is a system of psycho-acoustic effects recorded with the music
Psycho-acoustics is the study of how the brain processes sound
SSRS is found in most of our titles.

INNER SOUND
Motifs

Identified

1984 to 1996

Arden Wilken began creating personalized compositions in April of 1978.
Over the next 18 years she created over 10,000 across the world for all ages and walks of life.
Upon analysis, 21 specific musical phrases or "motifs" were identified, each creating a different movement
Each one was used for a particular time and place in the music.
Taking that information, she used the motifs in most of our therapeutic music titles, including for animals
19 of the motifs form the Advanced Protocols for our tuning forks

Instruments

resonate in specific areas

When we received a commission for a new title, the first step was finding the perfect sounds.
The guitar sound on Track 1 of Radiant Body took us days. We tried all the ones we had in our samplers and then had to find more.
It has the perfect timbre and sound for the music on the track to create the effect we were looking for
Once we found the sounds, then the rest followed, the composing of the music using specific motifs
Adding the pscyho-acoustic effects
Making the master and sending it off to our publisher

The Brain Tape

Stunning musical exercises for the mind

70 min (1986) CATEGORY: Fav, Mind

For studying, memory improvement and mental clarity- one of our best selling titles. A man came up to our booth at an exhibition, picked up the headphones, listened for a moment, then abruptly walked away seeming to be in a daze. An hour later he came back, listened again, then bought 5 cassettes of the title and walked away smiling.

"When we got the commission from Colin Wilcox of New World Cassettes (UK) to create this title, we went to look for better equipment. Chappell Music of Bond Street in London had a complete demo recording studio which they let us use for an hour. We laid down the two 30 minute base tracks in one go. Everyone in the store could hear. They applauded when we left, and we later came back and bought a lot of the equipment we had used."

Cosmic Alignment

Tibetan bowls, pure 5ths and INNER SOUND motifs are combined to create an innovative sound tool

71 min (2002) CATEGORY: All

We call this title the SUPER CHARGER because of the combination of sounds and number of Tibetan Bowls, over 90. Add it to any title, and it will enhance its effect.

You can make your own personal sound baths with it or for others.

Be sure to use the 3 tracks for each different Tibetan bowl frequency rather than just the bowl track as together they create balanced movement for the theme.

Download the CD Booklet for complete instructions.

"Frank Plate, who owned the bowls we were recording, told us at the beginning that some frequencies would go smoothly like Jupiter or Sun. Others we would have trouble with, like Neptune or Saturn bowls. He was right. We had glitches - couldn't find the right hammer to use to activate the bowls or unexplained equipment problems. We got it, finally."

Buy Part 1 & 2 together

They make the complete title, together having 42 tracks.

Exercise (Best done on bare skin): Lie down and close your eyes, cross your ankles and put one hand on your abdomen and the other on your chest. (Right-handed: right ankle over left and right hand on the abdomen; left-handed: left ankle over right and left hand on the abdomen.)

Dreamtime

Delicately woven melodies to help unravel tangled thoughts to find a gentle, deep sleep

68 min (1988) CATEGORY: Body / Spirit

Sleep is crucial for maintaining overall health. Use this title both during the day and at night, especially at bedtime to embrace good practices. Dreamtime helps in creating a smooth transition from the busy beta brainwaves we experience during the day to the calming alpha state, eventually leading us into the deeper theta and delta sleep stages. Consistent listening will help you achieve your desired results.

Try this exercise with any of the tracks during the day or in bed: Close your eyes and imagine that you have another body identical to your physical one, but without weight and density. It is light, durable and flexible. Expand it as far out around your body as possible and then compress it as small as you can inside your body. Let it float out in front, to the sides, behind, above and below your body attached only by a cord to your solar plexus. Then allow it spontaneously to take a shape, size and position. Relax, sleep well and sweet dreams.

Inner Focus

Music for meditation and shamanic ritual

60 min (1986) CATEGORY: Spirit
We've gone back to the original cassette version for this title with just 2 tracks, stimulation of flow in the core of the body and connecting with distant memories. (We had added Track 2 of Nature Serenade in the CD version of this title. Disregard any text in the CD booklet or CD back referring to that.)

We particularly like it for meditation.

Inner Harmony

Music for energetic alignment and integration

70 min (1995) CATEGORY: Spirit
Unlike Journey Through the Chakras , which is a classic meditation focusing on the 7 chakras, Inner Harmony has a structural focus, working with the mechanisms of opening and closing within the chakras and strengthening lines of energy - like a tune up for the energy system.
We created an early cassette version in 1985 and composed new music for the CD in 1995.

Track 7, "For the 5 senses" is nothing but purely tuned 5ths, like pairs of our tuning forks.

Each track represents the movement created by a color, 7 in all: Rose, purple, chartreuse, Silver, Rust, Mauve and Gold. The music envelops the layers of the field with these colors to establish a cohesive connection among them promoting a smoother flow of communication in both directions. The exercise featured in the CD booklet can enhance your listening experience.

Intuition

To promote the ability to trust and have faith

59 min (1989) CATEGORY: All

Intuition is defined as the ability to understand something instinctively, without the need for conscious reasoning. Many of us have encountered this phenomenon in our lives. This title serves to enhance our connection with our intuition, fostering a sense of certainty. The first four tracks are designed to create movement, allowing listeners to fully embrace the power of Track 5, "Creation." Don't be surprised by the deep male voices at the beginning of this track; they set the stage for a transformative experience.

Here is an exercise for Track 4 "Cleansing with a violet flame".
Exercise: Sit or lie down and close your eyes. Imagine a high hill where a clear, violet flame is burning. The flame transforms and purifies whatever it touches. From the top of the hill you have unlimited vision. Go to the top and walk through the flame; observe what you see. What you see may change each time you do this exercise. More information about the energetic focus of this title is found in the CD booklet.

Just Piano

Relax to 24 well-loved classical piano works from Bach to Debussy (1650-1910) played at historical piches using natural tuning

54 min (2008) CATEGORY: Emotion, Mind

What's unique about this title is the tuning. (See the CD booklet.) Before the piano became the instrument other instruments were tuned to (around 1800), we had a more natural tuning called "Just" in Western music. Many people find it more relaxing to listen to. The tracks are arranged in chronological order. If you studied or are studying the keyboard/piano, it is very likely you played these pieces or heard someone practicing them. Two other titles are in this series: Just Celtic & Just Yoga.

Magical Garden

Natural sound and music for birth and rebirth.

60 min (1996) CATEGORY: Emotion

The music in this album serves as a bridge connecting the essence of Mother Nature with the magic that resides within us. It is designed to support rebirth, inviting listeners to explore their inner soundscapes and embrace transformation. It is also used to accompany early stages of labor and as background music for newborns and infants.

"This was our most popular title for years in Spain. In the UK, it sold really poorly. People said it was too much water. They were already wet enough with the climate. It was very challenging to mix all the different elements together on Track 1 There were several sliders dedicated to the bird songs, a cricket, several different music tracks and the stream itself, about 15 elements. It took 18 takes to get it right. We pitched 6 keys on the piano with the stream sound, and Arden created the movement of the stream with those notes using some of her motifs. The music does not have motifs. They are in the stream sounds.

Music for Children

Music for the inner child

60 min (1988) CATEGORY: Body

When we sent the master to our Italian editor, he called us in a panic, saying that there were strange noises at the beginning of Track 1. We quickly realized that the sound of bagpipes, which opens the track, was startling to him. Eventually he really liked them, along with an African instrument that sounded like elephants trumpeting. In the beginning, parents had trouble with this title as they were expecting something else. The children, however, loved it.

During this time, there was a lot of popularity for working with one's inner child. This title supports that inward work.

Music for Healing

Experience music that awakens and enhances your body's innate healing ability

60 min (1989) CATEGORY: Body

Listen until you feel satisfied, whether that’s after 5 minutes of Track 1 or after enjoying both tracks three times. Much like a meal, you know it’s time to stop when you feel full. If you are not ill, you may not feel anything, or not want to listen. Sip a little water while listening if you can.

Listener feedback:

"I never liked this title and didn't listen to it until I wound up in the hospital. It was so different under those circumstances. I had it on continuous play, at a low volume in the background. It helped me a lot. Everyone who came in noticed the music."

Nature Serenade

- 15 % off this month- Normally $8.98

Natural Sounds and music for grounding and connecting to the planet

60 min (1988) CATEGORY: Spirit

In Track 1 the sea begins calmly and then builds to a tempest and calms again. The idea is to be able to hold your ground no matter the circumstances.
Track 2 is a metaphorical journey inward. The stream goes into a cavern, representing our depths, and there we experience music, and then come back out again. The music in the cavern is called "Revelation", hence the name of the track. It's the first piece Arden composed when we were living in Taiwan in 1978 after we had just met.

Our kids, aged 7 and 4, helped us create the drips you hear deep in the cavern. They tried dropping all sorts of objects into a bucket of water. It turned out to be a marble slathered in vaseline was what we were looking for.

New Heart

For emotional bonding (with a tempo at 60 beats per minutes)

60 Min (1985) - CATEGORY: Body, Emotion. This title is multi-faceted, ideal for learners of all ages, thanks to its steady tempo. One of our students, preparing for crucial exams, played this music continuously and achieved excellent scores, crediting her success to its calming influence. The composition aims to gently soften and dissolve the defense mechanisms surrounding the heart chakra, fostering self-esteem, acceptance, and self-love.

Try this exercise for another facet of the title, heart health: Recline or lie down and start the music. Relax your diaphragm. Breathe deeply. Bring the air first into your abdomen, then expand the sides of your body, your entire back and your chest. Visualize that the music is strengthening and cleaning your entire circulatory system, your heart, blood, arteries and veins.

Radiant Body

Helps focus on personal boundaries and space

41 min (1988) CATEGORY: Body

This is another country specific title. It is one of our most popular albums in general, but particularly in Germany. People say that they feel more space in their bodies and lives when they listen.

Enjoy the guitar sound in Tracks 1 & 3. We listened to over 20 before we found it.

This exercise may enhance your enjoyment of the music: Sit or lie down and close your eyes. Imagine that the music is entering your body- as if it were light- through your eyes; let it course down the inside of your body, through your legs and out the bottoms of your feet where it continues its flow up the outside of your body on all sides, entering again through your eyes. This music is an excellent accompaniment to self-healing visualizations, hands-on healing, and contemplative movement like Tai Chi.

Reiki

70 min (2001) CATEGORY: Spirit

REIKI, an ancient Japanese healing technique, primarily promotes energetic balance within the human body. This accompanying music enhances any Reiki session, featuring time indicators for seamless transitions between hand positions. Track 1 begins with 15 seconds of silence, allowing the healer to start the music and position themselves near the client's body. The CD back details the instrumentation used in Tracks 2 and 3, showcasing the INNER SOUND motifs in their purest form. Note that during the initial 30 seconds of Tracks 1 and 2 you'll only hear the soothing sound of the sea, with the music gently introduced afterward.

Explore a fresh perspective on the use of sound and music to harmonize the mind, body, and spirit.

63 min (2000) CATEGORY: All

This title highlights the 21 motifs that capture the essence of INNER SOUND, beautifully recorded in Pythagorean tuning on the piano. You have several listening options: enjoy the entire album, focus on a single motif or life theme, or curate a playlist of your favorites. The order of the tracks is significant as the body absorbs the different motifs most effectively in the given sequence. With a total of 47 tracks, we have divided them into two volumes: Sound Touch 1 (22 tracks) and Sound Touch 2 (25 tracks). Purchase both for the complete experience.

A bodyworker in Barcelona shares that he plays this title in the background for every client, consistently achieving positive results. He always returns to Sound Touch after trying other music.

Voyage to Freedom

Music for Nurturing and Replenishing

63 min (1998) CATEGORY: All, Fav

The original titles for Track 1 and Track 3 were "For Fatigue" and "For Stress," respectively. However, during the creative process for "Voyage to Freedom," we chose to rename tracks and introduce Track 2, which focuses on emotional bonding and features the violin music of Ulrike Kaese. After immersing herself in Arden's melodies, Ulrike skillfully layered her violin over the composition creating a captivating experience. Many listeners find Track 1 extraordinarily beautiful, especially when the violin enters around the 16-minute mark. Take a deep breath and let this beauty envelop your soul.
