Hey there. Davin, here.

It is my intention to periodically release sound healing recordings for you. If you’re not familiar with my work, each session like this centers my voice and improvisational singing. I may include various sound healing instruments as well as various sampled sound, but more everything you hear is being spontaneously created and it is all inspired my desire to hold sonic space for your well-being.

I will be sharing this first recording for free, but I hope if you enjoy it, you might consider a paid subscription at substack which will be the path to access others in the future.

This recording in particular only utilizes my voice with my looping device and various effects. To me, the voice is the most interesting of all instruments to create with in this space because its nature is so vast. It carries with it such large swaths of information and the potential for deep empathy and connection.

Using my voice here, I am hoping to reunite you with “the space within.” The inner knowing that we all possess that carries the potential to bath us in love and set our minds at ease. The reason we are often not there is not because it isn’t but because we forget. This sonic immersion is a reminder of the space within you carries to truth of you wholeness, inherent well-being and the possibility of homecoming.

I appreciate your ears and your heart.

Big love,

Davin
