Tuning Chamber
Welcome to the world of the invisible, where sound bodies merge and travel to spaces of limitless consciousness. Bio-rhythmically retune the cacophony of the city in this oscillating pod. Take a sonic sorjourn using Ganzfeld sensory deprivation techniques and your voice to activate the body while interacting with the reverberating frequencies. The dual chambers of your bodies cavity and that of the pod elicit a range of psycho-acoustic phenomena and vibratory healings.LINK TO AUDIO AND MORE INFO!

What is the Tuning Chamber?
The Tuning Chamber is an experience where you bio-rhythmically retune the cacophony of the city by integrating with the sound waves of the oscillating pod. The experience is achieved by using a combination of Ganzfeld sensory deprivation techniques and your voice to activate the body and interact with the reverberating frequencies. The dual chambers of your bodies cavity and that of the pod elicit a range of psycho-acoustic phenomena and vibratory journey facilitating entrances into non-ordinary states of consciousness. A close up of the cavity of the chamber & the subwoofer. Here a soundscape combining pure frequencies ranging from 120 Hz to 160hz are amplified, springing from floor to ceiling. Passing through the participants body hearing and feeling the waves. The structure is composed of cherry and birch. The hexagonal cylinder is designed like a vacuum, oscillating the tones for optimal relational bodily conversation.

To help commune with invisible landscape four adjustable LED lights are aimed at eye level. Frosted goggles are worn by participant diffusing the lights. This creates perceptual deprivation, shutting down the primary vision to produce a higher sensitivity through our other sensory organs. A ganzfeld experiment (from the German for “entire field”) is a technique used in the field of parapsychology to test individuals for extrasensory perception (ESP). It uses homogeneous an unpatterned sensory stimulation to produce an effect similar to sensory deprivation.[1] The deprivation of patterned sensory input is said to be conducive to inwardly generated impressions.[2] The technique was devised by Wolfgang Metzger in the 1930s as part of his investigation into the gestalt theory.[3] Parapsychologists such as Dean Radin and Daryl Bem say that ganzfeld experiments have yielded results that deviate from randomness to a significant degree, and that these result present some of the strongest quantifiable evidence for telepathy to date. A stereo and mp3 player looping the chambers soundscape amplify and power the subwoofer. A 3 inch hollow space at the base of the chamber, magnifies the resonance giving a sligh sensation of floatation through vibrations. By immersing the body in a bath of frequencies, sensory deprivation and vocal communion, a non-ordinary state of consciousness is evoked. This nourishes each participant with a variety of experiential possibilities.
