Books by Barbara Hero. The
writing of my books began in the 1970's after deciding to describe in words
the Lambdoma art in my book entitled "Eyes + Ears = Ideas".
Later the book "Lambdoma Unveiled" was written
based upon some of my lectures on the Lambdoma matrix that were given from
the 1970's to the 1990's. My other books were written to explain other
facets of the Lambdoma wisdom, such as the "Resonant
Harmonic Scale P, Q, R, S, T, U, V &W", and
"Music
Graphs". The book entitled
"The Glass Bead and
Knot Theory of Relationships" was created as a manual for me to take
to lectures in order to look up frequency, note, and color correspondences
between planets, star systems, organs, elements and etc. Requests were
made from audiences for copies of overheads so these have also been added
to the second edition of
"The Glass Bead and Knot
Theory of Relationships". The book "The Subconscious
Speaks" was channeled by my father and his sister back in the 1930's.
I illustrated each of its pages with Lambdoma drawings which seemed appropriate
to the subject.
Eyes + Ears = Ideas
"Eyes + Ears = Ideas" was originally conceived and published in the 1970's
after a decade of researching the link between art and music. The four
sections of the book are titled: "Glimpses of the Bridges of Art" "Start,
Stop and Think" "The other Side of Art" "Theories and Queries" The drawings
from the section "Start, Stop and Think" were shown at Barbara Hero's solo
exhibition at the Max Protetch Gallery in Washington, D.C. and these drawings
were played on the flute by Adam Hubble (Item
AT13) The sections "The Other Side of Art" and "Start, Stop and Think"
were also developed into musical compositions by Barbara Hero and played
and recorded in Robert Ceely's BEEP studio in Massachusetts. (Item
AT9) Two hard backed copies were made of the manuscript and one was
exhibited at Franklin Furnace, in New York City, and later at an Artists
and Books show at the Ulrich Museum of Art at the Wichita State University
in Kansas, and subsequently purchased for their library collection. The
other copy was most recently on exhibition at an art show curated by Art
Historian Renee Arb at the Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe College. "Eyes
+ Ears = Ideas" has been completely revised, reformatted, and a heretofore
unpublished narrative has been updated and professionally typeset with
the black and white illustrations scanned from the original canvases, where
available, or from microfilm documents. The author has provided an artistic
rendering of mathematical relationships between form and substance, sound
and color. This entertaining look at the forces of the universe, their
relationship to each other and mankind is required reading/viewing for
all. This book brings you an exploration of possibility, probability and
repetitive observations as seen by a musician applying mathematics to art.

The Glass Bead and Knot Theory of Relationships
This small book was stimulated by a reading of Hermann Hess' "Magister Ludi, the Glass Bead Game", and was compiled as a brief guide to those who wish to apply the relationships between dimension (wavelength) and the harmonic intervals (frequencies) of music. The cover illustration depicts an ordering of harmonic relationships which lead to an example of a simple construction of a Lambdoma necklace. Another application of Lambdoma theory is in weaving, and yet another is in musical time signatures related to the ratios of musical keynotes which might help musical compositions become even more harmonious. (Item AT4 side 2). Charts, showing translations of Time in seconds, minutes, hours, days years and light-years, into musical frequencies, as well as Dimensions in inches, feet, meters and miles, might help others find their own correspondence to our particular universe. Item B3 (8.5" by 11 " Spiral Bound 18 pages, 4 Illustrations and
15 Charts/Tables. ) PRICE: US$15
(Item B4) The Sub-conscious speaks; with Lambdomas "Contacting
the Sub-Conscious, or Subjective mind, without loss of conscious identity
has long been sought. This feat here has unquestionably been accomplished.
The contents of the book proper belong entirely to the author's Subjective
mind. Yet at no time was there a loss of conscious control and direction,
nor was the author at any time in any other than a perfectly normal condition".
Chapter titles include: Mind; Effect of Mental Attitudes of the Conscious
Mind upon the Sub-Conscious; Fear; Health; Confidence in Self - Faith in
God; Using Conscious Thought in a Definitely Creative Manner; and Success
- Failure.

The Lambdoma, Resonant, Harmonic Scale |
Barbara
Hero draws upon her insight and wisdom in both art and mathematics to apply
visual symbolism to relate the qualities of the Pythagorean numbers 1 -
10 to her 16 Lambdoma Laws of Harmony. Each page has a visual "Music Graph"
as one of the ways of interpreting the symbolism of number. "The Theology
of Arithmetic" by the neo-Pythagorean Iamblichus is one of the references
for this work. (Iamblichus brought forth the Lambdoma again in 200 AD).
