Beyond Space and Time was Beyond Belief!

Sat, 25 Jul 2009 00:00:00 -0700

SOS took us "Beyond Space and Time" into dimensions previously unknown last Saturday night at UUCA in Atlanta!

We experienced the intervals inherent in the Fibonacci series and felt ourselves meld into harmonies that define our physical bodies in “Fibonacci Twinkle”!

We traveled into the Sacred Warrior Syllables from Tibet with “Cosmic Whorl” and discovered a luminous open space within!

We ventured sonically and visually into the ancient “Harmonic Temples” of Egypt as SOS recreated the intervals of these sacred structures in sound, simultaneously presenting them on screen.

Guest artists, Kim Chamberlain and Martin Gueorguiev accompanied on clarinet and cello.

By popular demand SOS also performed their arrangement of Leonard Cohen’s haunting “Hallelujah" in which the audience felt compelled to join us - joyfully singing along on the chorus!

The players' movement of the bowls from layout to layout was well orchestrated and the act was reminiscent of sacred sand mandalas being brushed aside to create anew!

Candace's interesting commentary introducing each layout combined information about ancient sound healing practice, archetypal images, scientific research and humorous anecdotes. The visualization during "Cosmic Whorl" brought us into deep levels of meditation. The slides of ancient temples in Egypt were so evocative - one person said he could even smell the mummies!

Now that's a multi-dimensional experience!!

Sacred Sound - Sacred Space

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0700

SOS presented a seamless meditation experience on 08-08-08 at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta. The audience found themselves entering an intimate darkened arena illuminated by glowing crystal bowls which were placed on the stage floor below them. The 8 bowls encircled by flowers were placed just above those stationed at the points of a six-pointed star. The performance started with "ARCH-etypal Intervals", a sound meditation which balanced the archetypal elements within our physical, emotional and spiritual bodies. The sound of the flute and crystal bowls together led us to find that pathway accessing our original blueprint of health. The next sound meditation offered was that based around the six-pointed star in which SOS sonically re-enacted the legend of creation: from ether to air to fire to water to earth, inviting the audience to join us in the So Ham breath, the prayer of life in the body connecting us to God. The third and final meditation was a song of celebration with singer, Ian Boccio, joining us in a crystal bowl arrangement of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah"! This beautiful and haunting song was perfectly matched to the ethereal sounds of the bowls and garnered a standing ovation from the audience. Bravo SOS!

Two Seasonal Concerts

Thu, 27 Dec 2007 00:00:00 -0800

SOS ushered in the deeply meditational time of Winter Solstice and the joy of Christmas with two moving performances. The in demand performance of "Angel Wings" was presented at Atlanta Unity Church on Wednesday December 19th. This multi-media presentation invites participants to journey through the chakras by meditating inside a circle of fifteen chakra bowls while a light show illuminating the chakra combinations floats above in a deep blue sky. A very deep meditation was had by all!
On Sunday, December 23rd, SOS performed "Archetypal Intervals" for Trinity Church of Religious Science. This layout is in the shape of an arch, the strongest form in architecture. Architecture has been defined as "frozen music". Indeed the ratios of form correlate to specific ratios of sound. These specific ratios of sound correlate to the archetypal elements of fire, air, water, ether and earth. In serving as a bridge between energy and form SOS Quartz Crystal Bowls sounded the archetypal elements within our physical, emotional and spiritual bodies as a way to access our original blueprint of health. This sound meditation gently lead us through all the elements so that participants felt balanced and re-energized and ready for the New Year to come!
