With some creative projects we can struggle for years and nothing seems to come of them. Then out of the blue a late flowering emerges. read more

How To Get The Best From Sound Forum

To many, the internet is complex and difficult to comprehend. Those of us involved in sound and community would sometimes rather steer a course a way from it. We prefer the 'natural' and the 'human'. Of course we do. Community definitely happens when we play and sound together. read more

"Consonance and Dissonance" written by Joanie Solaini (Acutonics Teacher and Practitioner, LLM,LLB, BA Mus)

What a delicious pool to be diving in is this discussion of consonance and dissonance! Deep and deceptively clear looking, it is impossible to fully describe. We can map its edges and talk about where the pool meets the land. We can measure its various depths and make a topographical model of the bottom. read more

Sound and The Storm

It is undeniable that times are tough and may even get tougher. The situation across the economic world does not look good. It doesn't need much close analysis to know that the world has totally 'maxed out' its credit card and at the macro-level the outlook is bleak. However one would be making a serious error of judgment if one equated macro issues with the 'micro'. By 'micro', I mean 'us', you and me and our individual power and destiny in contrast to the macro issues of world politics and read more

I have just come back from a week’s work in Austria, which was a wonderful experience. Rolling mountains, trees, abundant flowers and openhearted, welcoming friends, old and new.

Sound and the Etheric Body

Thanks to Kirlian photography healers and spirit mediums before that, we have a much better grasp of the etheric body. To the human eye the etheric body is invisible. The etheric body is made up of two parts, one - more earth bound and of a possibly lower frequency (as it is described as coarser) while the other half is more ethereal and of a higher frequency. read more
