chloe_tn1.jpgChloe Goodchild is founder of The Naked Voice and its Charitable Foundation, dedicated to the transformation of human relationships through spoken and sung voice. Since partial deafness in childhood, sound and song, as metaphor for life, became the central focus of Chloe Goodchild's life. Her organisation, The Naked Voice, which Chloe founded in Bristol, U.K. 21 years ago, provides contexts in which you can directly encounter your true Self through sound. Deep unconditional listening is the key. Chloe has informed her understanding with a research of East -West voice and sound practices, influenced by travels through Africa India Turkey Europe USA and Canada. Chloe especially loves to sing at awareness-raising and multi-media events, where the simplicity and depth of participatory devotional and mantric sound can be shared by everyone present. She has sung several times for HH Dalai Lama in the UK and at the Way of Peace in Northern Ireland; for Eve Ensler, acclaimed playwright of The Vagina Monologues, in Madison Square Gardens; and for Peace Direct at the Royal Opera House, London, after September 11th, in 2002. It was on the morning of September 11th 2001, that Chloe was flying from UK to San Fransisco, over New York City in a United Airlines plane. She was in the air when the tragic news came through. This shocking world event inspired her CD album, Fierce Wisdom and her world anthem Singing Field. Chloe has made several solo and compilation albums, notably Devi, Sura (Grammy-nominated), and Fierce Wisdom. She has recorded with several major film, jazz, contemporary and classical musicians and composers, notably John Tavener, and Angelo Badalamenti. Chloe has recently collaborated with Sounds True Publishers, USA, on some new Naked Voice educational voice and sound recordings - YOUR NAKED VOICE, and AWAKENING THROUGH SOUND - thus making this pioneering work available to the wider field.

jvolktn1.jpgPoet, producer and publisher, Jeff Volk, has been popularizing the science of Cymatics for 25 years. In 1984 he produced a series of videos based on the pioneering experiments of Swiss scientist Dr. Hans Jenny, which scientifically demonstrated how audible sound creates harmonic, geometric patterns found in intricate life forms, and in the sacred art and architecture of the world's Great Traditions. In 2001, he re-issued Jenny's long out-of-print Cymatics books as a single deluxe edition, and he recently published an English translation of Water Sound Images, the stunning work of the contemporary German Cymatics researcher, Alexander Lauterwasser. After his video, Of Sound Mind and Body: Music and Vibrational Healing, won the Hartley Film Award through the Institute of Noetic Sciences, its phenomenal success inspired him to produce the International Sound Colloquium, which for six years, was the premier conference exploring the power of sacred sound and healing music. He occasionally lectures about Cymatics and related topics, and his articles have been featured in publications worldwide. More information may be found at cymaticsource.com .
