Soundmassage

with vocal harmonics
and didgeridoo
Igor commenting on his sound sessions:

"The concept of feeling sound, to feel sound inside the body, is integral to my work. During sessions, concerts and workshops i want to experience, together with you, the beneficial effects of sound: to feel it vibrate in our body and do it's good work.

Through the years i've developed this soundmassage with didgeridoo (the australian windinstrument), vocal harmonics and percussion. I find it very effective in helping to release the body memory."
Soundmassage, as proposed by Igor Olivier Ezendam since 2002, is an effective method for deep relaxation. In these sessions the sound of the didgeridoo and harmonic singing are applied in a gentle way to the body.

A one-hour individual session may give the person total relaxation and a great sense of well being, opening new dimensions to the ear and the heart. Soundmassage brings you to a meditative state in a natural way.
The vibrations of the didgeridoo, this ancient ritual wind instrument of the Australian Originals, gently massage the tissues of the body, helping to dissolve physical and emotional tensions.

Overtone singing a shamanic singing technique where a second melody line, so called 'harmonics' are created in the voice, a particular sound that recalls a high pitched flute. A personal harmonic song has surprising effects on the energy body.

Soundmassage
workshops

Soundmassage seminars are intended for therapists and for those interested in the application of sound on the body: sound massage with the voice, with didgeridoo, with frame drums and tuning forks.

Each participant in the workshop will be able to feel the sensations of the various sound massage techniques offered on his body.

"Not knowing anything but feeling everything. One's intuition is the main guide to knowing how to proceed while making music for someone. Certain sounds bring serenity, but not with everyone: for some people it is necessary to make a stronger sound to stimulate the flow of energy."
  • The Crystal Voice: to use the voice for healing you need to make sure you use a clean tool, that is: liberate your sound (and yourself) as completely as possible  of any blocks and inhibitions.
  • There will be time dedicated to freeing the voice and the body with breathing exercises, movement, relaxation and listening to the body.
  • Intuitive Sound Analysis - reading through harmonics: using sound for analysis of the physical and soul aspects. The first seven harmonics are connected to the first seven energy centers of our body, the chakras. Singing the harmonics for a person you can guess where the tensions are in the body. Igor will demonstrate the use of overtone singing as a intuitive sound analysis.
  • To play the didgeridoo on the body you need to first develop a greater sensitivity, listening to the effects on the world around while playing the instrument. Certain deep and slow sounds bring peace, but not to everyone: for some people you need to make a loud screechy sound to stimulate the energy to start to flow again.
  • Playing a frame drum near the body also requires a lot of sensitivity: the more one is able to feel a vibration and their effect in one's own body, the more one 'knows' intuitively how to minimally direct the proceedings.

With any and all instruments played on the body one is called to greater compassion and comprehension for the person receiving our sound. Participants can receive a full Soundmassage session during workshops.

Soundmassage
Concerts
Soundmassage Concerts raise the beneficial effect of the music, as the individual sounds created for each person influence all present in a positive way.

These concerts include didgeridoo, singing and percussion, as well as the sounds of the Shruti Box, Hang, the Irish Mandola, and the use of tuning forks.
