Who am I?
More than 40 years of experience working with sound, breath, voice and silence have only deepened my commitment and intensified my sense of wonder. Moreover, my musical understanding has been complemented by a scientific one.
The basis for everything I do is my interest in the effect of sound on people. This interest combines my decades-long expertise in human interaction, our inner and outer selves, coping with difficulties, finding growth, and discovering new possibilities. Vibrations—which are not just audible but discernible with our entire body—allow us to come closer to ourselves and to every living being.
My work, combining Eastern and Western insight, focuses on what’s deeply human.
