about
What is awareness? Though science is not able to measure or explain it, there's actually nothing esoteric about it.
We experience awareness' footprint every day.
Stress and worry contract us, shrinking our world into a narrow, reactive box. That's awareness shrunken. Relaxation expands us. It opens our perception so we notice more, feel more, and either can access deep, effortless focus, deep learning or visualization. Or it allows us to drift away into sleep when the body needs rest.
Sound moves our nervous systems directly. No logic or effort required.
Somasonic is a set of sophisticated and beautiful, digital instruments built to soften internal tension. The sound is based on scientific research, principles from both innovators in sound as well as ancient traditions, and literally hundreds of hours of deep listening.
"Somatic" means through the body: the 'interface' where the physical, the mind, and the spirit connect. Our felt sense is the operating system driving your daily life. Or put simply: How we feel determines the quality of our lives, and this is where Somasonic operates.
Four instruments: The Explorer, Harmonizer, Witness and the (subscribers only) Arpeggiator. Each one different, but every Somasonic instrument can autoplay itself: it brings you a living soundscape that keeps changing and never repeats. Playing is free.
Subscribe and more options open. Play a singing bowl with it, or any other musical instrument, press record and download your personal sound journey. Want to take it further: add soft or analogue synths over MIDI and build your own ambient works. For those who want to play their singing bowls with Somasonic, it's possible to voice the Somasonic instrument of choice on your own singing bowl, so you're always in tune.
Somasonic can be used in a wide variety of instances.
- For flow and deep focus. A tool to quiet ambient distractions and direct the mind toward stillness, relaxed focus and deep work.
- For non-meditators and meditators alike. An effortless entry point to turn inward and declutter a noisy mind without forcing traditional stillness.
- For wellness professionals. The ideal soundscape for sessions or in public spaces.
- For sleep. The Explorer specifically delivers drift-focused audio designed to gently ease a racing nervous system into rest.
- For sound professionals. Soundhealers can easily build ambient soundscapes or deep sound journeys.
on the horizon
Somasonic is an evolving project. Currently in development as upcoming additions to the ecosystem is an ongoing citizen science study on sleep. It tests the hypothesis that a specific Somasonic soundscape gives an active mind something to drift away on, so thoughts loosens its grip and sleep follows. Participants use the sound and track their nights.
