The musician is Laurie Amat and she has heard about a conspiracy theory involving Joseph Goebbels and the Nazis. Supposedly, on an international conference in 1939, the Nazis changed the music tuning globally. They changed the frequency to 440 Hertz. The Nazis changed the tone of the tuning fork for all musicians worldwide. They did it because they thought it would make the masses aggressive and more easy to manipulate. This is the music pitch we listen to today.
Driven by her worry Laurie is thrown on a larger adventure into the unknown universe of sound.

During the journey we meet passionate and charismatic sound enthusiasts. They reveal what sound really means to them personally and what it can do to you. Laurie experiences how sound can heal, how sound can manipulate your feelings and push you to do something, and how sound can be used as weapon.
Is it possible that second world war Nazis knew about this?

During the exploration into sound Laurie brings in her own thoughts and personal memories around sound, anecdotes and humour where you never know what sound is waiting around the next corner.

I believe this one.

I recently joined orpheus and decided to replace my entire music library with FLAC.
Then I wrote scripts to re-encode the whole lot in 432Hz mp3 to go on my phone, on an SD card for the car, etc.

There is a real difference. Especially listening to Bach, which contains ascension codes. It was composed to be played at A=432Hz, not 440, so it's closer to the original performances.

I am currently doing the same thing with collecting albums in FLAC. I had around 8gb of mp3 albums, in varying bitrates - although I always preferred 320kbps. But the FLAC is way better, and it's like owning the actual album itself. I have joined the brother or sister private audio site to Orpheus, REDacted. It's pretty good and they give away lots of 'Freeleech tokens', which they are doing right now. Otherwise you actually have to upload quite a bit to get good ratio. Which means original rips of your own, and there usually aren't that many snatches, so it's kind of cumbersome that way.

I'll have to watch the documentary or read up more about 432Hz. I didn't know it was changed, allegedly by the Nazis, but I guess that's believable. I know a lot of New Age musicians use special frequencies, like Jonathan Goldman etc.
