Good day ALL

This is probably the strangest post you will ever see, but I felt to share a story with you (especially my fellow organists) and invite your comments on it.

I shall not write it out here but rather direct you to the link where you can read it fully. It's a short read and curiously titillating I reckon.

Organ Music 'instils religious feelings'
Franchonard
I have experienced mystical feelings in certain churches regardless of whether an organ is playing. I experience no mystical feelings of a lithurgical nature in the RFH!

I thought certain physical effects of infrasound were well-documented, like office workers having headaches because of the deepest 'sounds' of the air-conditioning. I didn't read that it turned them religious!

bye bye

it's an interesting topic... infrasound is an oft-suggested explanation for people getting "funny feelings" in haunted houses etc... blink.gif
