Composer’s Commentary

If you have never enjoyed a sound bath or a sound healing before, then music like this may be unfamiliar to you. If that’s the case, then welcome to a new sonic experience!

The purpose of a sound bath is to engage your senses in a conscious listening process that brings your awareness into the present moment and soothes your nervous system. Sounds are chosen that help to slow down a busy mind and interrupt negative thinking patterns, replacing all that inner noise with something very clear, beautiful and still – a calm state of mindful presence that is inherently healing.

I have called this sound bath a “Cleansing Meditation” as its purpose is to invoke feelings of clarity, purification and refreshment. To achieve that I focussed on creating sounds that symbolise those feelings. You’ll hear crisp, clear wind chimes, glittering bar chimes, sonorous signing bowls, shimmering metallic tones and lustrous pads.

The many sounds I used in this Cleansing Meditation are also interspersed with brief periods of silence. These help to encourage present mindedness and self-awareness, and they also help you to connect more deeply with the sounds that follow.

The hero of this sound bath is the Sanctuary Wind Chime which takes many forms in this recording. Its crisp, clear tones are the first thing you’ll hear. In addition to the natural sound of the Sanctuary chime, you’ll also hear it in some interesting modified forms that I created using various sound design techniques. For example, at times you will hear high, glittering chimes that were created by modifying the pitch and tuning of the Sanctuary chimes, and at other times you’ll hear the effect of “granular processing” which changes the sound of the chime into a surreal, elongated sound that floats in the background. This surreal sound may not be recognisable to you as a wind chime at all, but it adds a magical atmosphere to this sound bath experience.

I recommend listening to this sound healing with headphones, at a very quiet volume, with your eyes closed. As the sounds begin, take a few deeps breaths to ease your body and mind into the experience. You can either listen while lying down for a period of rest and rejuvenation or sitting up straight for a more formal meditation experience. In either case, do your best to “listen consciously”. By this I mean, keep your attention on the sounds, and if your mind wanders off, simply return your awareness to the sounds. In this way, the sounds play the role of a mantra for you, helping to free you from excessive thinking so that your nervous system can become more still, resulting in a deeper state of calmness and clarity for your mind and body.

A tip for hypnotherapists and sleep specialists…

It’s important to note that this music evolves over time. While the first 6-7 minutes focuses on bright, cleansing tones, the remainder of the music settles into a more subdued, hypnotic experience that is designed to ease the listener into a much deeper state of relaxation. For instance, I introduce a large Tibetan singing bowl to produce deeper tones that are slow, sleepy and regular. The music also becomes less sparse, but more enveloping. In contrast to the opening 6 – 7 minutes which is designed to engage the listener consciously, the latter stages create a space for them to simply let go and journey inwards. This gentle, soothing music will support them through this journey, or lull them to sleep.

If you find that the initial 6 – 7 minutes of this music is too lively for your needs (for example, if you wanted to use the music for a sleep meditation), you could simply trim off the opening minutes and only use the latter, sleepier portions of the music in your recordings.

The origin of Sanctuary Chimes

The wind chimes used in this music are called Sanctuary Chimes. They are chimes that I developed with the help of Australia’s premier wind chime maker, Windsong Chimes. I designed this wind chime, not only to use within my music, but also for you, to make your own home feel like a sanctuary – a place of peace that’s special to you.
