Please join Art Bell for the Midnight in the Desert Radio show (Midnight to 3am EST) with his guest Alexandre Tannous who is as an ethnomusicologist, musician, composer, educator, sound therapist and sound researcher as they discuss "The Power of Sound on the Human Consciousness "
Alexandre Tannous– The Power of Sound on Conciousness
Alexandre has been investigating the therapeutic and esoteric properties of sound from three different perspectives – Western scientific, Eastern philosophical, and shamanic societal beliefs – to gain a deeper understanding of how, and to what extent, sound has been used to affect human consciousness. This search has led him to the intersection where art, science and spirituality meet: the wonders of sound!
His ethnomusicological approach entails a social scientific study of sound use in several traditional contexts—religious, spiritual, holistic, and cultural—for various purposes and occasions in entertainment, worship, meditation, and rituals of trance. Consequently, his approach in researching, understanding, experiencing, transmitting, and working with sound has always been a multidisciplinary one to get to the truth of how everything we hear affects our consciousness.
