What this is ,is a vibrational sound massage done with ancient singing bowls and gongs. This is an ancient music that will give and leave you at total peace… These are ancient tools for meditation,Yoga and mind expansion . With the sound of these bowls and the vibration covers over your whole body. Very soothing to the mind and body. Here is a little background about the singing bowls and also the mindset to enter into before you have the sound massage. So let go and take the journey…here we go…
The general belief about singing bowls is that it helps to recreate the original harmonic frequency which stimulates the body to rediscover its own harmonic frequency by making it vibrate independently. After being stimulated and taken up by powerful vibrations of the singing bowl, it is found that the body is able to tune into its own undisturbed frequency. The singing bowls emit a pure holographic template of radiant vibration which is both felt and heard. These tones and their harmonics produce a vibratory sound field that powerfully resonates the human energy field. Receiving this pure vibration works to awaken, clear, and balance all the chakras, and bring them to elevated levels of physical and etheric radiance. Pure vibration resonates the full spectrum of light and color to calibrate the body’s energies.
These bowls acts as a transducer, magnifying and emitting a pure vibration. In all of our most advanced telecommunications and computer systems it is used in the same way. Like powerful radio transmitters, the singing bowls transmit the sound waves into the environment. The immersion and impact of these pure sound waves is immediate. The power of the pure tone and harmonics directly affects the communication pathways between spinal cord, vital organs, and heart for healthier functioning. It helps to integrate the delicate balance of the endocrine system which is essential for a strong immune system proper hormonal balance.
The session is 20 minutes.This is also a chance to let all stress and worries drift away from you.Let the sound and vibrations send you into a very calming peaceful place.As the sound of the bowls fade let your stress and worries fade with it!Lay there till you don’t hear any singing anymore.That’s the best part !!!You’ll be amazed how peaceful, rested,rejuvenated,calm and accomplished after this experience.

I write music for gentle times and small spaces. I love the way laundry smells when it is dried on a line. I prefer grass to concrete, though I sometimes tread the sidewalks of NYC. I love notes and the way they fit together, and sometimes just one is enough. I love singing to and with close friends. I love drums and violins and choirs. I play guitar but sometimes think of it as a piano. I don’t necessarily like the sound of clapping. I grew up in New Haven, CT. I currently live there with my wife and a great community of friends. I travel a lot these days in vans, planes and trains playing my music, as well as performing with my brother Steve in our longtime band Mighty Purple and my friend Lamont in Ten Shekel Shirt. I have a great community of musicians to play with. You can hear us on my new album The Aviary, now available!

Like the polygon that share’s its namesake, this trio is a tilted parallelogram that absolutely rocks. Originally conceived as a ten-member interdisciplinary rock band, Rhombus is the “best of” version, as seven musicians were cut from the group one by one after failing to win grueling physical challenges and incorrectly answering really obscure trivia questions. Curtis Peel brings the vocals and the strumming, Travis Rosenburg wails on the pedal steel and guitar, and Emily Holden lovingly caresses the strings of her violin. The result is a blend of rock, folk, country, blues, and polka that will knock you out of your chair. Consider this a warning.

Dither is a quartet of electric guitarists who perform an energetic mix of composed music and improvisation, all orchestrated through a galaxy of stomp boxes and effects. Guitarists Simon Kafka, Taylor Levine, Josh Lopes and James Moore combined forces in 2007 with varied backgrounds in jazz, classical, and popular music. Since their debut concert at John Zorn’s experimental music venue The Stone, the group has been gaining recognition as both an eclectic improvising group and a skilled chamber ensemble. Their performances have brought then to a number of venues including Roulette, Princeton University and a featured spot in the Extensible Electric Guitar Festival at Clark University.
Dither frequently performs the guitar works of Fred Frith, in addition to original compositions, arrangements and newly commissioned works. Most recently, the quartet has collaborated with bagpiper and composer Matthew Welch and performed with Bang on a Can members Mark Stewart and David Cossin. In the coming year, Dither will be featured in the MATA Interval Series and Kathy Sapove’s Music with a View, as well premiering a new multimedia theater piece by Samson Young this October and November in New York and Hong Kong.
