How to Transfer the Scale of Tones into the Body
Activate the played tones side-ways to widen the body – so that the vibration becomes inner space to create volume for the vibration.
Rebounce to pitching different body parts to the different levels of pitches of the music.

Main Notes
Out of all the approximately 20 notes in and around the body, the following notes play a particularly important role:
-
F3 — Impulse of the chest
-
F2 — Heel
-
C3 — Sit bone
-
A3 — Tip of Shoulder blade
-
F4 — Bone C5

Leading tones
In music: They create the sensation of leading to a next note.
In dancing: They lead from the flow in one body part to the flow in another. — As well as from one movement to another.
The Completion of the Circle of the Scale for Weight Transfer
The two tones after leaving the fontana create the slide/glide of the free foot, creating the next leading tone to bring you back to the sound of the heel again (on the third tone after exiting through the fontana).
Note that the “tone in the earth below the heel” is playing first to “release the gravities” in you to be able to start with the actual heel tone again.

Purpose of “Body Notes”
Create awareness of energy flows in the body:
-
Materialised waves –> Matter – Body
-
Mechanical –> Material-based waves – Sound
-
Electro-Magnetic –> Non-material waves – Light
-
Metaphysical Waves – Life Energies
