Sound is an age-old healing modality that retains its potency in modern times. New technologies bring a deeper understanding of molecular reactions, neurological benefits, and the emotional effects of sound. Psychoacoustics—the study of the effect of music and sound on the human nervous system—forms the foundation upon which the field of soundwork builds. This course of study is an introduction to the theory and tools of modern soundwork. We will explore the components of sound, the physiology of hearing, the psychology of listening, and the natural human responses to vibration and frequency.

Topics include psychoacoustics (resonance, entrainment, auditory pattern identification), bioacoustics (the effect of human sound on the environment), and current therapeutic sound techniques (Tomatis filtration/gating, binaural frequencies, Cymatics). The creation of application-specific music soundtracks will be given a strong emphasis.
