Sentience Divine
I use the science of sound to create medicinal music, sonic self-care environments©, sound spas©, sound therapies, and brain/body entrainment programs. My custom Trichord instrument that is a one sided Kotamo (koto, tanpura, monochord) is the featured instrument on every project. I requested special modifications to the Trichord that enables me to perform with it in unique ways. I created custom VST instrument sound design in conjunction with using special triggering technology to turn the Trichord into a synthesizer. I call this technique the Monochord WaveWash©. You can experience the Monochord WaveWash© on Amani - Peace and Tranquility. Nature field recordings are recorded in Central America.

Rise and Shine in Belize
Here is an interesting recording I captured in Belize where I was awakened by some exotic birds, dogs, and other far away farm animals in Belize. I didn’t have time to setup my full recording rig so I captured this recording on a Sony PCM M10 recorder with windshield.
Early Morning Puerto Rico Bird Song
Rise and Shine in the Divine Puerto Rico mountains. This is an interesting active early morning bird chorus. Recording gear: Sony PCM M10, Stereo Clippy PIP mics.
Samburu Community Night Ceremony
I was granted an opportunity to capture rare recordings of Samburu community rituals. This is one of the communities my non-profit/NGO, the A.S.S.I.S.T. Society, supported while I was in Kenya. Listen to this unreleased sample of hours of ceremonial recordings that began during sunrise and lasted way into the evening. This is a sample of an audio and visual anthropology project.
Enjoy!
