What is Sound? with IKSRE

Happy NAIDOC Week! 🖤💛❤️ On this week's episode, we chat with Lionel Lauch from Living Culture. Lionel is a Gunditjmara Kirrae Wurrung-Bundjalung man, living on the Mornington Peninsula, where he runs guided meditation and bush tucker walks and Yidaki healings. Lionel generously shares some incredibly valuable, Indigenous wisdom - from plant medicine and bush tucker to Dreamtime stories, the sounds of Country and the power of the Yidaki as a sound healing tool. Lionel finishes the interview by sharing a short, Yidaki meditation.Find out more about Lionel and Living Culture: https://www.livingculture.org.au/Living Culture socials: https://www.instagram.com/wearelivingculture/Donate to Living Culture Ltd: https://www.livingculture.org.au/donations/Voice to Parliament training: https://ulurustatement.org/trainingwww.iksre.comSOCIALSwww.instagram.com/iksrehttps://www.facebook.com/iksremusichttps://twitter.com/iksreSPOTIFYhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/5oyUb8IC2vvoJeewltXQ7O?si=6Bgnskz_Q4WzySveIFjeKQ

This week, I'm flying solo. Chatting with you about all things 'sound healing' - what it is, how it works and why it makes us feel so good. I'll give you a brief history of (ancient) Himalayan and (not so ancient) Crystal singing bowls (which have a pretty hilarious origin story), and treat you to a short, bowl-based mini sound bath at the end of the episode - best listened to on headphones or proper speakers.

This week, I'm chatting with James Lloyd-Wyatt of Ginger Studios, Northcote about everything to do with the "aberration" that is sound in its recorded form - from working in recording studios and techniques to the physics of sound and acoustics, and stories of his work with Wu Tang and how reverb is like a little ear cuddle.Donate to Movember https://au.movember.com/donate/details?memberId=99 + Lifeline https://www.lifeline.org.au/get-involved/make-a-donation/Find Ginger Studios:https://ginger-studios.com.au/https://www.instagram.com/ginger_studiosFIND IKSREwww.iksre.comSOCIALSwww.instagram.com/iksrehttps://www.facebook.com/iksremusichttps://twitter.com/iksreSPOTIFYhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/5oyUb8IC2vvoJeewltXQ7O?si=6Bgnskz_Q4WzySveIFjeKQ
