At first sight, it is not obvious to me what “Sonic Meditation” is referred to. After reading about their topics for each meetings, I think it’s about connecting senses, mostly between sound and other senses. It must be very novel to connect the kinetic and sonic element at the time of its creation as the boundary between the two became ‘blurry’. It is also interesting how they brought in documenting, reflection, journaling and discussion into practicing music, to improve their consciousness in the process. I also find it fascinating how it transformed from a lonely process of creating music by oneself to a group improvising session.
I like the concept of empowering women in the realm of music and would like to know more about how women are historically held down for too long.
However, I am suspicious towards whether I would something such as ‘Teach yourself to fly’ as art. But I do believe that certain type of listening exercise have healing powers on a spiritual level, often like the background music in awareness practice and meditation videos.
