Soundscapes
Soundscapes
Soundscapes was formed in 2001 by Lyz Cooper. Originally comprising
of students and practitioners of The British Academy of Sound Therapy
Soundscapes has now become a trio (with other performers being invited
as guests on occasion). The trio includes Lyz Cooper, Lianne Fagon
and Clifford Sax. Soundscapes' aim is to combine therapeutic sound
and music to give therapeutic performances.
A typical performance features many instruments which ebb and flow
around the audience, creating sonic pictures and hetrodynes (sound
shapes). Sometimes a performance has a theme, such as 'The Tears of
Anouk' which has a distinctive arctic flavour with reindeer drums,
bells and Sami Joik chanting. Other performances are more abstract,
allowing each audience member to have a unique sonic experience or
journey. Some of the instruments featured in performances are drums,
tuning forks, Himalayan (Tibetan) singing bowls, Crystal Bowls, voice
in many forms such as chanting, mantra and overtoning, Fujara (a 6ft
Slovakian shepherds flute), classical and ethnic flutes, cello, monochord,
ravanatta (classical Indian string instrument), lyre, didgeridoo,
tubular bells and so much more!
It is not uncommon for members of the audience to receive health benefits
from attending a performance and over the years we have had reports
from people who have had relief from a variety of imbalances from
minor to long-term, chronic symptoms.
Soundscapes have performed in some wonderful places - the venue being
extremely important as it shapes and changes the sound. Indoor as
well as outdoor venues are chosen such as Stonehenge, the Chalice
Well, churches and temples. For more information of our performances
for this year click here. In March 06 Soundscapes launched their first
CD - 'Emergence'. This is a piece of music which has sections of long,
gentle sound that is intended to be a soundbath, or treatment for
the listener. Emergence aims to help people to discover their true
path. Recorded at the Spring Equinox, this piece intends to bring
the listener from the darkness and stillness of the winter into the
light and movement of Spring.
