From Iasos’ bandcamp
“The Angels of Comfort are the carriers and distributors of a golden-pink energy called the Comfort Flame – an energy specifically created to bring comfort to all Life, wherever it is needed. This energy was created when humanity began experimenting with free will in a manner wherein they began creating discomfort for themselves. These angels “deliver” this energy wherever they are sent, whenever they are called forth, and wherever they are requested.” – Bandcamp description for Iasos’ Angels of Comfort
Iasos is an early pioneer of New Age Music, writing mostly with synthesizer, flute and lapsteel. His compositions utilize heavy delays and reverbs and are based on a higher spiritual plane, which Iasos claims to be a conduit too. Iasos does not self identify as a New Age Musician. But rather someone who makes ‘Inter-Dimensional Music’
This particular piece Angels of Comfort has been something I have been fascinated by for a long time. Many people who have near death experiences, have claimed to hear this music as an experience of an after life.
“Here’s the deal, for a few years I was hearing paradise music in my mind, and I was hearing it telepathically. I didn’t know where it was coming from. It sounded heavenly, sounded wonderful, and it melted my heart.” – Iasos speaking to Red Bull Music Academy.
“Basically, each musician puts out where he’s at… In other words, a musician is a merchant. He’s not selling music, he’s selling emotions served on a platter of sound. In my case I’m a merchant selling ecstatic emotions served through sound. So, if a person is feeling a lot of rage in their being, they might put out heavy metal. So those people that enjoy feeling rage (because it’s confirming the emotion they have inside them anyway) are going to love heavy metal. It boils down to frequency matching; whatever you basically feel all the time or would like to feel – you gravitate towards that style of music. So people that like feeling love, harmony, and ecstatic feelings tend to like what I do. People that love feeling rage, sadness, or anger – they’re not going to resonate with what I do at all. They’re going to gravitate towards other stuff…”
“music doesn’t have any built in obligations or roles, but it is capable of producing divine emotions, meaning high frequency pure emotions. Visuals are capable of inducing divine thought forms. When music and visuals are working together synchronistically and synergistically, their combined influence can ignite a state of higher consciousness. It can pop a person into a state of higher awareness.”
“How is it that music can resonate with one’s energy field? One of the principles of Hermes is The Law of Correspondence: as above, so below. Resonance in musical instruments means, for example, that when 2 strings are tuned to the same note (same frequency), if one is plucked the other will also tend to start vibrating. The Law of Octaves also extends this same principle: When one string is tuned to 2 or 3 times the frequency of another, if one is vibrating the other will also tend to vibrate. In other words, through resonance with the Law of Octaves, a sound vibration can actually sympathetically vibrate the energies in one’s aura which are precise multiples of that sound, but many many octaves higher in frequency than the sound. Consequently, if the musical energies are harmoniously integrated, they will tend to have an aligning effect on the listener’s energy field. For that matter, any harmonious energy field does have an aligning effect on one’s energies. The perfect example is nature: going for a walk in nature is harmonizing to one’s being since nature is itself saturated with harmonious energy patterns. However, music has an especially potent effect on the emotional body. When a car engine gets a “tune up,” it runs better. When a person’s physical, emotional, mental and etheric bodies become more fully aligned, that person feels better, is more alive, has more fun, and is a more perfect vessel through which Divine Intelligence can flow. Music is one of the more powerful tools for such inter-body alignment.” – Iasos Interview for ‘It’s Psychedelic Baby Magazine’
“Another subtle potential service of new age music is to introduce mankind to higher-octave emotions with which we are not yet that familiar. Through such familiarization we will facilitate our ability to naturally express such feelings, to vibrate such emotions, to FEEL such feelings. Each emotion vibrates at a particular rate in the emotional spectrum, the harmonious emotions vibrating at higher frequencies. The Law of Octaves applies within this emotional range, just as it applies to music or to the periodic table of chemistry. You can have the well-known emotion of “gladness”, and if you double that frequency to the next octave up, you have the emotion “happiness”. Take that one octave higher and you have “joy”. One octave higher, “bliss”. Then “ecstasy”. Then “rapture”…………” – Iasos Interview for ‘It’s Psychedelic Baby Magazine’
