Sound Bath Sessions 255: Alex Lo
Alex Lo is the founder of Scientific Singing Bowl. Alex's approach to sound healing is a more scientific approach to teaching singing bowls. A psychology major, he didn't connect with the spiritual side of sound baths, so he began learning how the different frequencies can affect human emotions. We recorded at his studio in San Po Kong, which is relatively quiet with little nearby construction. Despite his calculated approach to understanding his bowls, his style is improvised. He often plays with a bowl in his hand, which he strikes and then rotates in a circle up and down to make the sound lively and dynamic. Constructions sound a little louder in this session. In this track, you can hear the difference between the static bowls and the one he holds in his hand. The sense of movement is unique when the bowl's modulation moves independently with the actual movement of the bowl.
