Originally composed to be played during La-Eva massages, the intention behind Sensory Immersion was to create a soundscape portal to a deep state of relaxation. What came to life is in keeping with a growing body of work that is out there exploring new ways for art, music and consciousness to interact. Sensory Immersion gently offers sonic colours, textures and forms without demanding attention; it is simply an invitation to take the slow lane for a short while.

The continuous 90 minutes of soft rolling notes draw on what we know about how our brains and nervous systems function during sedative states. At a physiological level, music with a slow tempo and low-end frequencies decrease our respiration rate, heart rate and blood pressure, likely due to the link between the ears, vagus nerve and parasympathetic nervous system.  At an emotional level, the merging of classical instruments played by human hands with ambient soundbites and rhythms, creates a unique sound palette and sensation of traversing terrains between earthliness and otherwordliness.

Sensory Immersion is one of several tracks written and recorded in collaboration with composer Marc Canham and features collaborations with cellist Barney Morse-Brown and modular artist Aneek Thapar. All three artists sit 'left of field', working in the independent film, art and music industries.

We invite you to press play.

To lie back, close your eyes, and listen.

To inhale and to exhale.

To allow your mind to wander.

To rest.
