Story behind the song
Earth My Body is a traditional Chant, and beautiful however it is done. I wanted to expand the meaning a bit by creating an atmosphere of music that expressed a trance like inner weaving and unity with the Elements and the Divine Self. And I wanted to give an example of the ancient phrase "As above, So Below". And so, along with the trance like quality of the chant, I added the sounds of the Earth from outer space. Yes, the sounds you hear are not birds and frogs and other things, they are the Sounds of Earth as recorded from outer space. These sounds were recorded by University of Iowa instruments on a variety of spacecraft over the past 40 years. The specific recording I used is called the Earth Chorus, Chorus waves in Earth's magnetosphere are generated in the Van Allen radiation belts by electrons spiraling along Earth's magnetic field lines in this region. Once generated, the chorus waves interact with the moving electrons, disturbing the spiral orbit of the electrons and causing them to fall into Earth's upper atmosphere along the magnetic field lines. Chorus waves consist of a rapid succession of intense ascending tones, rising in frequency over very short time intervals, each tone lasting typically less than one second. The frequencies of these rising tones occur in the audio frequency range and sound like a dawn chorus of chirping birds, a sound which gives these waves their name. Think of it… from outer space, Our Earth sounds like the different life expressions within it! Beautiful! Music, Arrangement and instrumentation by Michelle Mays. Vocals, Michelle Mays, Phebe Smith
