Acoustamata Means Lovers of Listening
“Acoustamata” was the title given to entry level disciples of the Ancient Greek Pythagorean School.
To become Acoustamata, aspirants were required to undergo a challenging 2 year general education assembly. A select few were chosen to move on to the esoteric school.
Acoustamata were required to maintain 5 years of total silence in order to become an inner circle disciple - a Mathemata, or a “Lover of Learning”.
The Acoustamata would emerge as superhuman individuals that were far more physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually advanced than their previous selves.
While today’s high achievers do not need to undergo such a rigorous initiation to attain victory, the culture of ultra-success still requires people to perform like elite creative athletes in order to rise. As the challenges of modern life grow increasingly more complex we, as Wavemakers, must pursue excellence with the same single-minded focus a predator uses in pursuit of its prey.
Deep Roots, Modern Fruits
Acoustamata’s Neurosomatic Tuning Method is based in music.
Pythagoras and his disciples didn’t just invent scales for children to practice at the piano. They created the Western Musical Octave by listening to mathematics made audible: vibrating strings, ratios, and resonance. As they mapped the Octave they named each note to reflect the architecture of the cosmos itself.
NSTM is built on seven core vowel sounds—plus an eighth, integrative tone that harmonizes the whole brain and body.
These sacred sounds were first documented by the Pythagoreans, who linked them to specific areas of the body and distinct mental-emotional states we encounter in everyday life. The Seven Vowels used in Acoustamata’s proprietary method represent a lesser-known way the Pythagoreans sang the octave, and a forgotten key to deep transformation.
We often forget that modern music is composed using what the ancients believed to be the sacred language of all creation.
The Pythagorean Vowels provide an extraordinary tool for mastering the creative process. We’ve decoded these ancient mysteries into easy-to-understand scientific language that resonates with the needs of modern society.
Of Sound, Body, and Mind
Acoustamata connects discoveries made by the Pythagorean philosophers over 2600 years ago with modern day science.
Acoustamata’s roots are deep, and that gives the tools we share with you stability in the face of a rapidly changing social and technological landscape.
Our bodies are as innocent as those of our ancestors but our world is not. The fast pace of day to day living in a world saturated with exotic temptations, attention grabbing social media, exhausting schedules, and more takes its toll on us.
Your ability to balance the accelerated change of your extraordinary career with critical periods of active recovery is the key to a rich and harmonious existence.
