Sound Advice: A440 vs. A432

EPISODE 84 | Sound Advice: A440 vs. A432

Guest: Andrew Currie, Owner & Lead Sound Engineer of Mechanizer Studios

Today, most musicians use 440Hz as the reference pitch for orchestras, but they use to use all sorts of different ones, especially 432Hz. Wow, that’s interesting, I guess. But even something as seemingly innocuous as international musical pitch standards can be fair game for the conspirasphere.

Sure, maybe the switch happened because of the physical properties of musical instruments as they warm up. Or maybe it was all part of a plan to separate humanity from the healing frequencies of the universe, making us both more aggressive and more docile. And maybe this evil plan was hatched by none other than Reich Minister of Propaganda for the Nazis, Joseph Goebbels.
