Hey there,
I recently stumbled upon a (perhaps) really old debate that's bugging a lot of musicians:
Is it better to tune in A432 or A440?
I read a few info on the matter, and from what i could understand, the division between the 432ers and the 440 fans, is quite big.
432 seems to be the "frequency in harmony with the universe" and has other religious-ish qualities, which i personally don't give a damn about 'cause i don't like religion at all.
Others say 440 is a Nazi plot to crush the universe's harmony and imprint hate and bad feeling into the average person.
One of the articles i read, featured doctor Daniel Levitin, who, in his book "This is your brain on music", said that specific note pitches don't really matter, the most important thing is the relation between notes. This is probably the opinion i like the most, for i heard a comparison of the two tunings, and to me, they just sound different, neither better or worse, and as i like experimenting, i can appreciate both of them.
What is your point on this matter? Please let me know.
Have a nice fri-day
