Sound Bath Sessions 185: Yu-Hsuan Chen

I recorded Irene @ in a general purpose room on the top floor of her apartment block near Xingfu station. The surroundings were very active with a lot of city sounds that echoed in the reflective room.

Irene's bowls have a very interesting tone to them. Some of them have pure tones and some are inherently dissonant between harmonics resulting in amazing modulations just from one strike. And when paired with other bowls can start to change the shape of sound even more. I think it adds great interest to an otherwise flat sounding session.

This track sound very spacious and full. We left a window open at the end of the room so the space seems larger than it is. The construction had not finished their lunch break so it was really the sound of the city filling the spaces between her sound bowls.
