Wideman, Chair L Mary AnneBright,1! er S, Patricia Griffin, Member ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I want first of all to thank the people whose experience in the Deep Story process is the focus of this study: Joy, Miriam, Iona, Alexandra, and Katrin. I am deeply indebted to them for offering their Deep Story experience to this research. My own story has been enriched by working with them in this special way. The members of my committee, Jack Wideman, chairman, Mary Anne Bright, and Pat Griffin have kept me grounded in the academic world and I thank them for keeping me on track. Particularly, I thank Jack Wideman, who first opened the door to my pursuit of this doctoral degree, and who kept that door open through all kinds of weather in the intervening years. I thank my "debriefer" Rebecca Reid, who has pulled me through difficult times with unflagging persistence and encouragement—her assistance has been beyond price. Gratitude goes to my other readers, Ruth, Carol, and Artemis, who brought their eagle eyes and heartening curiosity to this project. Thanks also to James Carse for being part of my research team. I have leaned on my friends on both sides of the Atlantic through these years. Dorla and Marianne in Germany, Mette in Denmark and my constant friends, Sarah on the hill, and Carol in the valley, have played an important part in conceptualizing and birthing this research, and in witnessing and encouraging me to bridge the gulf between the experience and documentation of the Deep Story process. The woman on the tightrope has crossed to the other side and now walks away. I also thank the women who crossed IV before me who have provided on-going support and encouragement: Suzanne, DiDi, and Daria. The encouragement of my family, local and long-distance, has been the net under the rope walker. To my two sister-elders, Joanna Macy and Edith Sullwold, I make a deep bow of acknowledgment and gratitude. Finally, I wish to lovingly acknowledge my equine friend and companion of over two decades, Bint Om Shantih, who died while I was completing this document. v ABSTRACT DEEP STORY: AN INVESTIGATION OF THE USE OF EMBODIED VOICE IN THE TREATMENT OF TRAUMATIC MEMORY MAY 1997 MOLLY SCOTT, B.A., SMITH COLLEGE M ED., UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMHERST ED.D., UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMHERST Directed by: Professor John W. Wideman This study is a qualitative case study investigation of the expanded use of the voice in the treatment of trauma. It examines the Deep Story process, a treatment for traumatic memory using both languaged narrative and pre-language sounding, or PLS. The Deep Story process uses an interactive team protocol with a story teller, a reflector, and a witness, involving repeated tellings of the trauma story both in and out of language. The use of the embodied voice in the treatment of trauma is under-researched and the purpose of this study is to provide an experiential data base to generate knowledge about how the intentional use of vocal frequencies might alleviate the stress of trauma. In-depth interviews were conducted with five women, two Germans and three Americans, ages thirty-seven to forty-eight, who had participated in a therapy training which included Deep Story trauma work. Data collection also included a follow-up questionnaire, meetings and phone contacts. Thematic analysis, using the constant vi comparative method, defined the experience of the participants and provided data for emerging implications and further study. Participants reported a lessening of anxiety around the trauma after the Deep Story work, and a stronger sense of empowerment, authenticity, and voice in the world. For all the participants, the locus of therapeutic change was in the pre-language sounding component of the protocol. These findings suggest that such extended use of the voice in the Deep Story treatment lessens the toxity of traumatic memory and can be an effective intervention in the treatment of trauma.

The physics of sound define the corner stones of this communicative framework, which is employed by animal groups from insects to mammals, of which examples of vocalisations are presented. Recording bioacoustic signals allows reproducible identification and documentation of species’ occurrences, but it requires technical prerequisites and behavioural precautions that are summarized. The storing, visualizing and analysing of sound recordings is illustrated and major software tools are shortly outlined. Finally, different approaches to bioacoustic monitoring are described, tips for setting up an acoustic inventory are compiled and a key for procedural advancement and a checklist to successful recording are given.

Abstract Musical behavior is likely as old as our species with song originating as early as 60 million years ago in the primate order. Early singing likely evolved into the music of modern humans via multiple selective events, but efforts to disentangle these influences have been stifled by challenges to precisely define this behavior in a broadly applicable way. Detailed here is a method to quantify the elaborateness of acoustic displays using published spectrograms (n=832 calls) culled from the literature on primate vocalizations. Each spectrogram was scored by five trained analysts via visual assessments along six musically relevant acoustic parameters: tone, interval, transposition, repetition, rhythm, and syllabic variation.

  • Real-Time 3D Graphic Augmentation of Therapeutic Music Sessions for People on the Autism Spectrum
    Real-time 3D Graphic Augmentation of Therapeutic Music Sessions for People on the Autism Spectrum John Joseph McGowan Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Edinburgh Napier University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2018 Declaration I, John McGowan, declare that the work contained within this thesis has not been submitted for any other degree or professional qualification. Furthermore, the thesis is the result of the student’s own independent work. Published material associated with the thesis is detailed within the section on Associate Publications. Signed: Date: 12th October 2019 J J McGowan Abstract i Abstract This thesis looks at the requirements analysis, design, development and evaluation of an application, CymaSense, as a means of improving the communicative behaviours of autistic participants through therapeutic music sessions, via the addition of a visual modality. Autism spectrum condition (ASC) is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder that can affect people in a number of ways, commonly through difficulties in communication. Interactive audio-visual feedback can be an effective way to enhance music therapy for people on the autism spectrum. A multi-sensory approach encourages musical engagement within clients, increasing levels of communication and social interaction beyond the sessions. Cymatics describes a resultant visualised geometry of vibration through a variety of mediums, typically through salt on a brass plate or via water. The research reported in this thesis focuses on how an interactive audio-visual application, based on Cymatics, might improve communication for people on the autism spectrum. A requirements analysis was conducted through interviews with four therapeutic music practitioners, aimed at identifying working practices with autistic clients.

  • From Hydrophonics to Interactive Sound Fountains
    From Hydrophonics to Interactive Sound Fountains Johannes Birringer From “Series One” – Open Studio Exhibition, Derby University April – May 2008. Although modest and seemingly unspectacular, Caroline Locke’s phrase “seeing sound” – a phrase she used to describe her interests in creating sculptural sound-performance works when I first met her in 2004 – has stuck with me. It is an odd paradox, but one that has gained resonance in recent years as we have moved along with the scientific and technological advances in a culture obsessed with data visualizations and location mapping. Today’s ultrasonic medical scanning of our arterial blood flow allows us to peer inside ourselves, so to speak. We depend on x-ray vision to diagnose a fracture of our bones, and neurologists look into our brains to pinpoint areas responsible for thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sound and vision are two closely related sensory registers, yet we do not commonly think of sight being audible, and sound being visible. We do not see with our ears, we use them to listen to the wind as we go forth in the world, as the anthropologist Tim Ingold once suggested, noting that wind and breath are intimately related in the continuous movement of inhalation and exhalation that is fundamental to life and being.1 1 Cf. Tim Ingold, “Against Soundscape,” in Angus Carlyle (ed.), Autumn. Leaves: Sound and the Environment in Artistic Practice (Paris: Double Entendre, 2007), pp. 10-13. 2 Even though my immediate contact with Caroline Locke’s artistic creativity and collaborative ventures was limited to a brief two-year period (2004-05), I propose to reflect here on her major performance installation Hydrophonics (2005) and her on-going preoccupation with water and sound, attempting to sketch a particular collaborative and interactive trajectory in the various manifestations of her artistic project.

  • Firmament of Sound
    Firmament of Sound Before there were eyes to see when a vast darkness still permeated the void, All rested beneath a firmament of Sound. I stare into the primal pool breath ripples the water and light appears –as if from within– a raiment of pastel profusion barely the faintest hint of definition. I open myself and eyes appear –as if from within– so that I might see myself apart from the landscape, a part of the landscape– my original face peering out of the darkness, peering into the void. Without fear; without pain; no sharp edges; no hard places; no borders. Nothing to recoil from no need for protection no need for rejection– no separation. I raise my voice and Behold! I Create my own personal playground, a universe of figure, form and motion arising from my impetuous imagination. © 2009, Jeff Volk Autumn 2010 FROM VIBRATION TO MANIFESTATION: Assuming our Rightful Place in Creation All is vibration! ––Novalis Editor’s Note: The following article builds on Cymatics: Insights into the Invisible World of Sound, published in the Summer 2009 issue of The Quester. A brief overview of the science of Cymatics will be given at the outset, but for a more thorough understanding, please refer to that article at http://www.cymaticsource.com/pdf/CaduceusArticle.pdf. Cymatics in a Sound-bite Cymatics, the study of wave phenomena and vibration, is a scientific methodology that demonstrates the vibratory nature of matter and the transformational nature of sound. It is sound science at its finest, and its implications are vast! The term (Kymatiks in German), was adapted from the Greek word for wave, ta Kyma, in the 1960s by Swiss medical doctor and natural scientist, Hans Jenny (1904-1972).

Badak* and Ajay A.Gurjar* Department of Electronics and Telecommunication Sipna C.O.E.T amravati Amravati, India *Email: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: In a day to day life we come across many sounds which are mechanical vibration that may be through air or water. To every sound some form of visual image is attached which is normally not visible. We are making an attempt to make sound visible. This paper gives a novel approach to convert one dimensional signal (sound) into two dimensional signals (Image) which can be used as a tool to freeze sound in the form of images. We are using low frequency signals as an example. But as the frequency increases the patterns become more complex. Keywords: particle contamination, CSM, analytical method.
