Designing Sound for Nervous System Regulation | KASIA
Designing Sound for Nervous System Regulation
Bringing together musical knowledge and neuroscience to explore how we perceive and respond to sound, and how this understanding can inform the intentional design of a sound session.
Music Recording & Sound
A more intentional approach to working with sound.
Why does a sound that settles one person leave another feeling unsettled? What makes certain musical combinations feel spacious while others create tension?
Designing Sound for Nervous System Regulation brings together musical knowledge and neuroscience to examine how we perceive and respond to sound.
Drawing on more than 2,000 sound sessions and years of experience in music production and practitioner education, the book explores how musical relationships shape perception and how this understanding can inform the design of a sound session.
The book also examines how the nervous system responds to sound, with careful attention to what scientific research has established and where popular claims extend beyond the available evidence.
Explore the principles behind sound.
