Just came across this, really amazing work this guy has done. The tones are played as piano sounds rather than innate noise, to mirror over as sounding like music.
Not sure about jesus's words. But I have heard the playing of a pottery spinning, you can make out muffled words on what they played on a show on history channel. I am having issues finding a video of it now though, atleast as far as clips. There is mention of it in several sites, some skeptic.
Farmers in a village in East China's Fujian Province have claimed that Buddhist music playing in the fields has helped them to increase their rice production.
China Agricultural University have backed the experiment, saying certain sound waves - such as those found in the rhythmic chanting of mantras - can stimulate the pores on a plant's leaves to help absorb more sunlight. "Only positive music aids growth, while rock music would probably harm it," a local agriculture officer says.
I used to work with a former chicken farmer. He used to have trouble if the chickens were scared by outside noises as they would all rush to the other side of the shed, trampling each other. So he would play Beethoven loudly in the sheds and the chickens were not frightened.
I would guess for living creatures this would make most sense, that soft music soothes. For plants I have seen studies with different results, in fact most have shown rock music works best for promoting growth. They think it might have to do with the vibrations of the music, and not so much the style.
