Peace at last.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Klangzelle + Mother Earth Radio = Conscious Listening.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

My name is Florian. I have been working as a sound engineer for 30 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At some point, the magic was gone. Music was just a formula. Then Sylvio came along with his Klangzellen. And with 429 Hz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, I’ve been listening like I used to. Like the 12-year-old in front of his father’s big speakers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mother Earth Radio is my attempt to pass that on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT’S DIFFERENT<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Format:<\/strong> I broadcast in FLAC up to 192 kHz. Always have. Because as a sound engineer, I know what compression does to the waveform \u2013 to transients, to reverb tails, to the space in a recording. What I didn’t know back then: there’s an entire field of research dedicated to it. “Listening Effort” \u2013 how much work your brain has to do when listening. Result: Compressed signals cost more cognitive resources. Even if you don’t hear a difference. That’s why Fraunhofer \u2013 the inventors of MP3 \u2013 are constantly developing better codecs. They are working on the problem. I solved it differently: Don’t compress in the first place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playback:<\/strong> Sylvio’s Klangzellen have one driver. No multi-way compromise. The sound comes from one point. Like a real instrument. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuning:<\/strong> 429 Hz. Not because of chakras. Not because of healing frequencies. But because it sounds right to me. Because the music breathes again. Because I listen again instead of just hearing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does it make a difference? Hear for yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

NO MARKETING<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I don’t sell transformation. Sylvio doesn’t sell healing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We make speakers and radio. Well done. With care. If that’s worth something to you, buy an app or a speaker. If not, listen for free. No drama. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE QUOTE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

“Audio artifacts are reflected in brain signals \u2013 even below the threshold of conscious perception.” \u2014 Prof. Dr. Benjamin Blankertz, TU Berlin<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This is not marketing. This is an email he wrote to me personally \u2013 after I contacted him about his study. One of many in this field of research. Science agrees: Your brain hears more than you think. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
