The PLHK is a harmonic microtonal musical instrument. THE PLHK KEYBOARD has the unique capability of sounding any musical interval in a matrix of harmonic frequencies in the audible range. Its diamond-shaped matrix holds 64 keys in one quadrant. A total of 256 keys in any microtonal keynote may be played. Each keynote produces harmonic stereo intervals relating to the player's chosen keynote.
The Lambdoma Matrix is attributed to the philosopher Pythagoras (500 bc) who spent over twenty years as an Egyptian initiate. The concept of the Lambdoma Matrix in the present age is relatively unknown, and is not cited in most dictionaries. On the surface, it appears to be nothing more than a mathematical multiplication and division table. On a closer look however, it bears a one-to-one relationship to musical intervals in a very specific harmonic series. Because of its numerical framework of ratios, it can be translated into frequencies of audible sound. The Lambdoma bears relationships to aromatics, chemistry, crystallography, cybernetics, art, music, geometry, all of which may be explored by those interested in the above disciplines. The Lambdoma bears mathematical relationships to Issac Newton, the Diophantine equations and the Farey series, as well as in the present century to Georg Cantor
Barbara Hero is a mathematician, visual artist, composer and writer. She exercises all of these attributes in her mission of sharing the secrets encoded within the ancient Pythagorean Lambdoma Matrix by creating the Lambdoma harmonic keyboard. She has written and lectured extensively on the wisdom encoded within that ancient matrix of whole number ratios attributed to Pythagoras and has been called the "Re-discoverer of Pythagoras' Lambdoma." It is her belief that we are all part of an evolving consciousness, and that each of us has goals that were set for us before birth, and which we may find and fulfill during our lifetimes. She possesses the unique ability to unify these three disciplines into an interrelated functional theory of existence, known as the Lambdoma. Born in Washington D. C, daughter of the late artist, Lucile Evans Ferrell, Barbara's life's works in music lead her to focus on the relationship of mankind to the universe and the development of methods to assist individuals in attuning to their own fundamental vibrations. Exploring the intricacies of architecture and its relationship to sound she found interesting relationships between the spaces we live in, the sounds we encounter and the lives that we lead. Further research led Barbara to the works of Pythagoras, which included a diagram outlining the mathematics of harmony. Acquiring a degree in mathematics she confirmed that there was a relationship between color and music (sight and sound). Researching mathematical frequencies of light and sound, she developed a unique understanding of their interrelationship to individuals and their quality of life. While working with Boston Massachusetts drug rehabilitation programs she had the opportunity to put her accumulated knowledge to use. She taught addicts to draw what they were feeling. Her investigation of the healing properties of Lambdoma sound inspired her to introduce this music to the art-therapy classes. She noted that her students responded remarkably. Many, inspired by the music, produced symbolic abstract drawings. Working with her "Creative Application Engineer," Robert M. Foulkrod, she has developed unrivaled methods, using computer processing and laser projection, to document and present musical frequencies. Computer-generated tones, based on the ancient diagram, have produce unequaled mathematically perfect meditation tapes. The logical "right brain" becomes entranced with the perfect sound intervals. The creative "left brain," now free from interference, produces an unrestricted flow of stimulation leading to the potential production of art, poetry, music and feelings. Many different doorways to ourselves unlock and open wide. Her methods enable individuals to find their own personal "Key Note" or "Resonant Frequency," to recognize their various "Chakras." Personal voice patterns in the form of "Keynotes" combined with the Lambdoma musical scale enable participants to observe indications of balances or imbalances. "An emotional healing on an emotional and spiritual level," is her description of the combined experience of the individual. TESTIMONIALS “From my point of view, the deepest level of therapeutic sound relates to changes in states of consciousness, which, in turn, can affect the physical level. By changes of states of consciousness I mean the altering of brain wave states to achieve a much deeper level of perception of what reality is. Your keyboard, through the perfection of the intervals as revealed in the overtone series, has the capacity to alter such states of consciousness thereby accessing the higher levels of mind wherein lie the seeds of our potential. In the altering of the brain wave patterns a person can move into dreamlike states where definitive changes in character for the better can take place. As the intervals sounded are part of Nature and inherent in our structure, it follows that they sympathetically resonate within and effect such changes.” James D’Angelo, Ph.D. Educator, Composer, Workshop Leader and Author of: Healing with the Voice, Creating Harmony through the Power of Sound. “The 'pure' tones of the Lambdoma Harmonic Keyboard, realized as a 'whole', mirror the pattern of Life in 'all' of its intricacies including: tone and light, solids, liquids and gasses, organic and inorganic, thought and action, space and time; in essence, Universe! By tuning into the Lambdoma Harmonic Keyboard's tonal centers and their surrounding tones: we become more aware of our inner beauty, hearing strains of life eternal. As the Lambdoma infinitely interweaves the series of overtones and undertones no stone is left unturned in its wake. Every proportion of both the macro and micro scale is represented in its unfathomable expanse. By observation we can note that the Lambdoma expands infinitely on two sides. The other two sides of its structure fall off into the unimaginable. The complete understanding of this is exactly what the sages deem enlightenment! This is evidenced by examining the solid Lambdoma and noting that to one side of its diagonal all proportions are greater than one and on the other side less than one, hence the large/small, light/dark, yin/yang and any other inferences one may envision. In the hands of competent therapists and healers the Lambdoma Harmonic Keyboard may be utilized for healing. Therapists who are familiar with pulse rates at various locations on the human anatomy and the rates of the body organs can apply an effective therapy. Prolonged listening to the various tones produced by the Lambdoma Harmonic Keyboard will aid in any therapeutic setting. In conclusion, Barbara Hero's Lambdoma Harmonic Keyboard produces the sounds necessary for a solid Harmonic Therapy.” Drew Lesso "The significance of the invention is great. To the nascent sound therapy community, it represents a way to ground and explain our intuitive work in comprehensible visual symbols, and to experiment with the effects of specific frequencies in healing. To musicians and visual artists, it opens a new field of expression that crosses the boundaries between sight and sound. In the best tradition of the ancient adepts, she is helping to bridge the gap between the metaphysical and physical sciences" Marcia Jenneth Epstein, Ph.D
