about

'The World is Sound' is a sound medicine album weaving together ethereal soundscapes of harp and nature. It contains layered instrumentals and outdoor environments including processed harp, vocals, singing bowls, shruti box, Raagini tanpura, bamboo flute, native drum, frogs, birds, insects, fire, rain, and wind through the harp strings.

Each song's creation is based on the sound medicine wheel containing 5 elements: Earth, Fire, Water, Air, and Frequency. The integration of nature sounds with harp melodies represents the interconnection of nature, music, and us.

This album was inspired by my explorations into sound as medicine and researching the science of sound. I have been on a journey looking for the deeper meaning of music and why it is so inherently rooted in our lives. From our internal physiological rhythms to the living cosmos, what is it about music that transcends cultures and connects us in a universal human experience?

Nature has been my teacher in understanding the roots of music. It shows us that the rhythms and harmonies that run through the trees, the animals, the rivers, and Earth also flow through us. We are nature. We are music.
