Sound Bath 051- Brenda

Bivouac Recording SC

I recorded Brenda at her teacher’s space about 10 minutes walk from the Kam Sheung MTR. The space is next to the teacher’s house and she also holds her sound baths there on occasion. There is a vegetable garden that is tended to by helpers and his students. It was a sweltering early summer day and you can hear the cicadas, dogs, and caretakers wandering in the heat. Brenda plays several instruments in her sound baths including the shamanic drum, gong, and a small shruti box. The most unique instrument she uses is her voice as she chants harmonizing with the instruments and singing well-wishing mantras that she has learned over the years from her teachers. Brenda begins with the Shruti box and a chant. She used another one of her gongs this time having deeper and moving sound. There was some yard work being done and the animals in the property can be heard in the background.
