TRANSIENCE #53 with Sarah Wreath

It is transience's aim to create a temporary suspension of reality where listeners can recenter and reflect with a supportive sonic environment. During this heightened moment of violence in Gaza and the surrounding areas, many of us are feeling massive amounts of grief, anger, and all manner of other emotions that it's hard to know what to do with. In Germany, and in particular in Berlin, we're witnessing new levels of state repression on freedom of movement and expression. It's really important during such times to take care to regulate ourselves and help care for one another, so that we can organise and continue the ongoing work of fighting for freedom.

For this episode of Transience we are honoured to have sound artist and practioner, Sarah Wreath's live gong and electronic set, which uses a 110hz frequency to help with emotional processing and relaxation. About her contribution for transience she says the following;

"This is a version of my current ambient live set containing the pure tone of the 110hz frequency. This frequency – widely known as the fundamental pitch of the human voice used by ancient practitioners for mantra chanting – has been shown to help with emotional processing and relaxation, and has a profound effect on the right hemisphere of the brain. The right brain is known to be the seat of artistic expression, spirituality, emotion, imaginative thinking and breakthrough innovation. Research has shown that accessing and stimulating the right brain leads to better problem-solving skills and less conflict in people.

This live set was originally created to be performed together with a Chao Gong. The pulses and acoustic waves played promote a state of relaxation and a healthy nervous system."
