These experiments are about being under the influence of so called "sacred sound".
Sacred Sound is archaic or natural sound that is
- not technology made
- without meaning
- close to what nature creates by it's own
I create these sounds with gongs, handpans, shruti-box and my voice. Sometimes I include nature, sometimes I exclude her deriberately.
You will find video- and sound-files below this text with specific experiments.
The invitation is to do the experiments, share your gold (= your experience) and then create your own experiments and share them.
In case you want to experience these sounds live write me a message and we'll find a way to make it happen.
Experiment Archaic.Sound.01:
Create 1h of unditurbed time and a space where you do not hafe distractions or responsibilities.
Prepare a cozy place to sit or lie as you prefer with as many plankets and pillows as you wish as well as a glas of water.
Have your phone or laptop connected to headphones or a sound system with good quality and make sure you are aware of how to adjust the volume without standing up or walking around.
Center and ground yourself. From there create your personal bubble of space and a bed for your gremlin next to you as (s)he prefers.
Choose to experience the unknown and feel the fear tingling when your decision lands in your bodies.
Start the video and do not stop or interrupt until the end.
Go.
Experiment Archaic.Sound.02:
This experiment is about your voice and is perfectly right for you if you run with the memetic construct "I can't sing". The experiment is perfect for you if you feel fear reading this because you don't want to sing.
Come to sit in a space where you can be undistrubed and loud for the next 15mins.
Tell everybody around you that you are not available for the next 15mins.
There are two video-files under this text:
- The first file is a recording of a Shruti Box.
- The second file is a recording of my voice together with a Shruti Box doing the experiment
Start the first file and begin to experiment with singing different tones. There are hundreds of possibilities to experiment with, a few are:
- start low and rise up
- start high and go low
- sing just one tone and stay with it for one breath
- humm
- sing a vocal (a, e, i, o, u)
- sing a consonant (b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, ...)
- when you hit a harmonic tone go up and down a little tiny bit and notice what you notice
Notice what you feel, sense and think:
- feeling: You might feel fear, sadness, anger and joy. This is what your emotional body does while you experiment. Your physical body might join in with shaking, crying or tension. Notice these effects of you doing something you normally do not do.
- sensing: You might sense a multitude of sensations. I want to draw your attention to your I ears because there is a special sensation as soon as you sing harmonic with the recording. The sensation can be described as "being in the sound", "diving in the sound" or "changing hearing".
- thinking: Your intellectual body will as well be alive in this experiment. If you notice the center of your energetic body going into your mind (i.e. with analyzing) choose to bring your energetic center back onto your physical center.
After doing the experiment write down your findings into your Beep!-book and do the experiment again the next day. For best results do this 7 days in a row.
In case you want to hear how this experiment can sound open the second video under this text. You hear me first navigating to the harmonic tone and then going a bit too high and a bit too low.
