The "SOUND JOURNEY" Experience
A Musical Experience Designed to bring about a greater Awareness of ones life purpose
Sound Journey was born from my 20 years of teaching meditation and a lifetime of creating music through performance and composition and bring these elements together. It is an opportunity for one to listen to a special kind of music and use these sounds to mindfully go within to explore the feelings, emotions and personal questions that come up during this special time. It is an oppertunity to slow down and fully engae with the senses. For some It can be a very silent personal experience with the eyes closed and for many it is a mindful time with movement and even walking in the immediate area within the radio frequency field.
Live Directly to Headphones - A Silent Musical Experience
Sound Journey is a music performance by guitarist Shane Wilson were the listener wears a special type of radio signal headphones the the music is transmitted directly into for a totally intimate listening experience. The concerts are often held outdoors in nature although they maybe held indoors in ones home or in a small concert hall. Most any area works well. The headphones eliminate and disturbances for the listener and eliminate distractions to others in the area that are not active listeners.
About Shane
Growing up in a small midwestern town call Aberdeen in South Dakota, this was the same small town that L. Frank Baum, who wrote "The Wizard of Oz", this is were his Famous fantasy world was created. Aberdeen was and still is a very small town surrounded by farms and ranches where one has to be creative and expand their imagination in order to satisfy there existence. People did this in many ways, I did this through music and later through the practice of meditation.
I began my musical journey at the age of 8 when I picked up guitar. My passion for music led me to study music composition at Northern State University Aberdeen, South Dakota, followed by classical guitar training at the University of South Dakota in Vermillion. I completed my formal education at Wichita State University in Kansas, specializing in improvisation. Each experience enriched my understanding and love for music.
I later found a profound interest in meditation and learned the practice with many accomplished teachers throughout the world. I ordained as a buddhist monk and was eventually ordained as a buddhist minister teaching meditation full time inspiring me to write and publish three books on the subject of meditation and mindfulness. For many years I saw music and meditation as two separate paths but eventually this changed with the realization that some of the most profound meditation experiences that I experienced come about when I was deeply immersed in music , both listening and playing.
