John Ryan Dugal

John Ryan Dugal is a professional studio musician and producer based outside of Toronto, Canada. After studying jazz drums at Humber College in Toronto, he went on to perform as a drummer across Canada with various groups, including several tours as a singer songwriter with the folk duo A New Ground, on top of running his own studio - Frontier Music. Though living the life of an artist, his first love was always science and the pursuit of truth and knowledge. But he came from a totally secular upbringing, so there were no mentions of the spiritual growing up. Nevertheless, to his great astonishment, the pursuit of truth with an open heart eventually led him to the spiritual. The meditation tapes are a part of that journey. The mission of the Frontier Music Meditation Tapes, is to explore the effects of binaural beats, using music to help induce a frequency following response. This response is associated with brainwaves synchronized with the binaural beat frequency. Different binaural beat frequencies are associated with different mental states. So the ultimate goal is to use music to direct your attention to the binaural beat, and use the binaural to achieve a desired mental state. The interactions are more complicated than that, but where music stands out is its ability to direct, maintain, or enhance an emotional state. This, coupled with the binaural beat layers, and the interactions between them, is meant to guide the mind to a target state and hold it there.
