Corelli-Jacobs - Music to Grow Plants


Corelli-Jacobs - Music to Grow Plants

If your plants need any help growing, I guess that this would do the job. Dr. George Milstein thought that this was really a good idea.

George Milstein, a New York horticulturist, has determined that music helps plants grow. 'The secret,' he says, 'is a high frequency sound that blends right in with the music. I believe that the sound waves cause the plants to keep their pores open longer and wider, allowing a greater exchange with the air around them.' So once a day for forty-five minutes he plays music for his plants, and he has been so successful that he now has produced a record called Music to Grow Plants By. (Captain James Conely in Air University Review March-April 1972)

The music is orchestral sorta-funk lounge, the type of music used in movies and TV shows back in the 1970s when this record came out and also found on "library" records.

Note: The music is credited to Corelli-Jacobs on the record's label. There doesn't seem to be any information about them on the Internet.

  1. Mythbusters did a show and experiment on the effect of audio vibrations on plant growth. Ashgen969 posted these and describes the shows better, but the bottom line is the plants listening to Death Metal grew the best.

  2. I found somethng that just mentions "Corelli Jacobs" w/o a dash:

    http://www.alphamusicgroup.com/Film-and-TV-List.html

    DeWolfe Studio / Corelli Jacobs Rec.

    It's part of a long listed headed by:
    Sample Sound Press Film & TV Distribution List!

    Evidently De Wolfe Studio produced a lot of theme music

    Thanks for the Mythbusters links. I would have never guessed that death metal appealed to plants (or to humans either). ;)

    Thanks for the link. That makes sense considering the music on this LP. Now I'd like to find more from them.

  5. "Nature itself has a built-in rhythm. That rhythm is the basis for everything that was created because, as the Bible explains, God created the matter universe through the power of sound. The basic rhythm of nature is 4/4, 3/4, 6/8, 12/4, 12/8 and so forth. The human heart beat follows the 3/4 rhythm. Any music that is in harmony with the basic rhythm of nature has a positive effect on people and on the planet as a whole. Any music which is out of harmony with the basic rhythm of nature will have a negative effect. This can clearly be seen by the scientific studies that have shown that certain types of rock music causes plants to die, whereas certain forms of classical music causes plants to grow faster. I can assure you that what affects a plant will also affect a human being, although the human being is a much more complex energy system than a plant. Therefore, the effect is not as noticeable in the short-term. " Source: http://www.askrealjesus.com/askrealjesus/jesusanswers/miscellaneous/truthrockmusic.html
