Michael S. Tyrrell was an author, musician, composer, producer, and the founder of Wholetones, a healing frequency music project aimed at promoting health, creativity, productivity, and well-being through the use of specific tonal frequencies, particularly solfeggio frequencies. Born and raised in Clearwater, Florida, Tyrrell began playing guitar at age ten and later studied classical guitar under Joseph Lazarro, a protégé of André Segovia. His career spanned various musical endeavours, including touring with Christian and secular bands, earning a GMA Dove Award and a Grammy for his work with Mylon LeFevre and Broken Heart in the 1980s. Tyrrell’s personal journey included overcoming addiction, which he attributed to a spiritual awakening, shaping his mission to bring love, healing, and motivation through music.
The Wholetones project, launched in 2015 after nearly two decades of development, is a collection of seven songs recorded at specific frequencies, believed to have therapeutic effects. These frequencies, rooted in ancient traditions and biblical references, include the solfeggio scale (e.g., 396 Hz, 417 Hz, 444 Hz, 528 Hz, 639 Hz, 741 Hz, 852 Hz), which Tyrrell discovered through a manuscript given to him by a pianist named David in Jerusalem. Each track is designed for specific benefits, such as reducing fear (396 Hz, “Open Door”), enhancing creativity (417 Hz, “Desert Sojourn”), promoting peace (444 Hz, “The Key of David”), or aiding sleep (528 Hz, “Transformation”). The project includes a book, Wholetones: The Sound of Healing, which explains the science and history behind these frequencies and how to optimize the listening experience.
Wholetones has been praised for its calming and healing effects, with users reporting improved sleep, reduced stress, and enhanced well-being. Products include the original seven-CD set, Wholetones 2Sleep for restful sleep, Wholetones for Pets to calm animals, and Chroma, which combines healing frequencies with soothing visuals. The music is used in settings like hospitals, prayer rooms, and therapy offices. Tyrrell’s work also extended to apps for iOS, Android, and Amazon Kindle, and he offered licensing for commercial use.
Tyrrell passed away on November 1, 2022, but Wholetones continues to be recognized for its innovative approach to music therapy, blending art, faith, and science. For more details, you can explore wholetones.com or michaeltyrell.com.
