Bio Bio Bio…..who am I, where did I come from, where am I going? Who knows? Who cares?……...It’s kind of difficult for me to answer these questions because I am here now with you but not really by the time you read it. However my now is always now and your now will always be now, so really we are all living in the Now. Some more than others but that’s another story. So Hi! I am so glad you are here with me.

 

I am an appreciator of sensory perceptions, sound production and  effects, meditational art , mantra's, alternative therapies & music.

​

I  have a particular fondness of unconventional music; particularly 'namet'; new age, meditational, ethnic and tribal.

 

Examples of namet music can be found here on YouTube.

Personal interests – There’s general expansion of unexpected knowledge that provides novel or new ideas e.g. using methods and techniques used in one sub-genre e.g. ‘drones’ used in hip hop and examining their application in another i.e. applying them to mantra music.

 

Theories, ideas and productions based 432KHz and 528KHz Solfeggio recording Fibonacci sequencing to sound creation etc e.g. https://youtu.be/SRTViZ2NPpY

 

More specific work to create harmonising tubular bells that induce calmness and wellbeing.

 

The possibilities of sound strengthening cognitive sequencing ability development.

‘ABSTRACT—Sound is inherently a temporal and sequential signal. Experience with sound therefore may help bootstrap—that is, provide a kind of ‘‘scaffolding’’ for—the development of general cognitive abilities related to representing temporal or sequential patterns. Accordingly, the absence of sound early in development may result in disturbances to these sequencing skills. In support of this hypothesis, we present two types of findings. First, normal hearing adults do best on sequencing tasks when the sense of hearing, rather than sight, can be used. Second, recent findings suggest that deaf children have disturbances on exactly these same kinds of tasks that involve learning and manipulation of serial-order information. We suggest that sound provides an ‘‘auditory scaffolding’’ for time and serial-order behaviour, possibly mediated through neural connections between the temporal and frontal lobes of the brain. Under conditions of auditory deprivation, auditory scaffolding is absent, resulting in neural reorganization and a disturbance to cognitive sequencing abilities.’
