Chloe 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. WWW.THENAKEDVOICE.COM
Poet,
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
