Scientists have only recently learned that the particles of an oxygen atom vibrate in a major key and that blades of grass ‘sing.” Europe’s foremost jazz producer takes the reader on an exhilarating journey through Asia, Europe, Africa, and Latin America, exploring the musical traditions of diverse cultures and reaffirming what the ancients have always known--the world is sound, rhythm, and vibration. Berendt’s book is alive with his experiences--living in Bali, studying at a Zen monastery in Kyoto, and encountering budding jazz stars in Indonesia, Japan, Europe, and the United States. Drawing from his friendships with composers and performers as well as his knowledge of new physics and Tantra, cybernetics, Sufism, and the works of Hermann Hesse, he reveals the importance of sound in shaping cultural and spiritual life worldwide.
A tribute to the work of many of the greatest figures of our age--including Hans Kayser, Jean Gebser, Sufi Hazrat lnayat Khan, musicians John Coltrane and Ravi Shankar--Berendt’s book suggests that hearing, rather than seeing, is the key to a more spiritual experience of consciousness. His discussion of sound in relation to mathematics, logic, sacred geometry, myth, and sexuality is practical as well as theoretical, offering readers a variety of techniques for developing the ear as an organ of spiritual perception.

The World Is Sound - Nada Brahma
“ Berendt’s groundbreaking work is a fascinating exploration of the importance of music, sound, and vibration for spiritual development . . . a valuable sourcebook for every serious student of consciousness.”
--Stanisav Grot, M.D., author of Beyond Death: The Gates of Consciousness
“ In a majestic sweep (Berendt) takes the reader through the macro- and microcosm, from the “harmony of the spheres” to the songs of dolphins and whales . . . ”
--From the foreword by Fritjof Capra, author of The Tao of Physics and The Turning Point

Nada Brahma
By James Pearson
I read this book a little while ago and it completely transformed the way I perceive the world around me. This book showed me the power that sound has. While the book is primarily concerned with the mysticism of sound, he also relates the world around us to sound, and shows us how reliable and accurate our ears are when compared to our eyes.
Joachim-Ernst Berendt also gives listening tests in some of the chapters to give the reader an opportunity to develop their sense of hearing, which he says is being underused in our predominantly visual western culture.
I am a private detective and ever since reading this book, I have always tried to use sound equipment and techniques on my investigations. Since reading this book I have completely re-evaluated and structured the approach and conduct of my work for the better. Can't recommend it enough.
James Pearson.

Sound principles expand horizons
By Jane Pahr
Joachim-Ernst Berendt has a great gift for synthesizing informaion. This book is a must read for anyone interested in harmony and understanding our place in the universe as part of the great expression of spirit. It will also appeal to those who prefer more practical information as to how sound and music has transcended and unified while informing those who play as well as the listener. I just love this book! I'm a yoga teacher and a singer and this book really touched me on all levels.

Sound Insights
By Uriel Dana
Years ago I read a book called The World Is Sound by Joachim-Ernst Berend. In his book, Berendt speaks of music on the microcosmic level, the music of atoms. He demonstrated the harmonics mathematically. Quoting Lama Govinda, “Each atom is constantly singing a song, and each moment this song creates dense or fine forms of greater or lesser materiality.” On the very same day I read this, I heard an interview on NPR news with a scientist who had just announced the recording of the sound of an atom. He and his associates had used a microphone so sensitive, that it picked up the music (yes, music,) made by an atom.
Music and sound is an integral part of each of our lives, even when people are not paying attention. In addition to the Macrocosmic Music (the sound made by the etheric energy grid around our planet), there is also Microcosmic Music. (Macrocosmic music is sometimes referred to the Music of the Spheres).
According to the research of Dr. Susumu Ohn0, (with the Beckman Research Institute), when musical notes are assigned to cellular chemistry, the cells from different parts of the body create different “melodies”. Some of these are quite complex and beautiful. When the body is in harmony, the music it creates on a cellular level is also in harmony. However, when the body is out of harmony, the cellular music is dissonant. When Dr. Ohno converted the musical notes of a Chopin funeral march into cellular chemistry, he found portions astonishingly similar to a human cancer gene.
One interesting thing you may not be aware of is that whale song is sung in rhyme, and the whale’s songs, along with the dolphins, regulate the earth’s biosphere”. This creates a “window” for the energy patterns needed for the procreation of all species on earth. Remember in “Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home” how the interplanetary probe was sent to Earth to see why the whales hadn’t been communicating with “home world?” Well, that wasn’t so far fetched!
Aristotle knew certain cetaceans “speak”, but it was passed off as legend until World War II when underwater microphones, used to pick up traces of enemy submarines, detected the clicks and whistles of dolphins. The purpose of the clicks seems to be mostly echolocation for navigation, but the whistles vary with each individual. If one dolphin is whistling, other dolphins will wait until he has finished before whistling back.
No one really knows how whales sing? They have no vocal chords, but they do have a larynx, a respiratory tract, and a blowhole, all of which seem to contribute. The song of the dominant male in a pod of humpbacks may last as long as nine minutes and may contain all the notes on a piano keyboard. It is repeated over and over until all the males of the pod have picked it up and sung it back to the first one. Blue whales, the largest animals that have ever lived, emit deep, descending moans so low that the human ear can barely hear them unless they are recorded and played back speeded up. (They are even low when played back an octave higher.) Right whales don’t sing, but they do have a broad vocabulary that consists of whinnies, gurgles, chirps, burps, groans, cries, and much more. (They even snore!) Whales have been known to use sound to stun their prey. (I suspect there is a similar racial memory that makes humans instinctively scream to stun enemies.)
