Soundwork       Some of the instruments I play I also use in a form of sound/bodywork I call Wave Massage: an integration of Swedish, Vibrational, and Reflexology techniques with live and recorded sound. After the body has been opened up physically by these traditional massage methods, the more subtle sound vibrations can be especially therapeutic. The didjeridu, for example, often has an opening, loosening effect, while the zither seems to induce a state of peace and relaxation. The sound of Shakuhachi flutes, gongs, and Tibetan bowls can also be very beneficial. There has been quite an expansion in the last few years in the field of brainwave entrainment, and I have added some of this new cutting edge technology to the sessions. I use the Nova Pro Sound/Light machine (which creates pulses to match desired brainwave patterns) and a Somatron Vibroacoustic bed which translates sound from two sources: 1) Live: thru microphone (instruments mentioned above and more) and/or 2) Recorded : thru CDs, some incoded with specific brainwave frequencies. These sounds are converted via transducers in the sound bed into tactile sensation. The original and only full body vibroacoustic portable mat. Musically massaging your body from head to toe while you listen via the quality speakers under your ears.
