Frequency States

Frequency States (2025)

Rob Parton – Arconic Sound

Frequency States is a series of audiovisual works exploring how small differences in frequency shape listening and perception. The works draw on the principle of binaural beats and focuses on three frequency ranges linked to different listening states.

Each work is best experienced with headphones.

Audio versions of the work also available for streaming and download on Bandcamp here. Pay want you want for the next week.

Alpha (8Hz) – Calm wakefulness, relaxation, and reflective listening.

Beta (25Hz) – Alertness, active thinking, and focused concentration.

Gamma (40Hz) – Heightened awareness, memory, and mental clarity.

Frequency States forms part of Temporal Space, a practice based research project exploring spatial sound, repetition, and meditative listening.
