As a special offering during this time of social distancing and elevated anxiety, HART is partnering with Hausian Shane Aspegren for weekly online sound meditations. These sound-based group meditations aim to create inner-clarity while establishing an online group connection that will lead us all forward towards our live sound bath sessions at HART Haus—slated to begin once we are back to gathering in the flesh. Each hour-long session begins with a brief introduction, followed by a 45-minute soundscape meditation created using traditional instruments such as gongs and Tibetan singing bowls, as well as experimental instruments and very specific stereo frequencies. The session will end with 10-15 minutes of group discussion/Q&A.
HART 將聯同匯舍（HART Haus）藝術家 Shane Aspegren ，於4月14日至5月5日連續四個星期二晚推出網上聲音冥想體驗，有助參與者澄明心境。每次藝術家將先簡介節目，繼而進行45分鐘的聲音冥想環節。當中使用的聲頻將由藝術家使用傳統樂器（包括銅鑼和頌缽等）、各種實驗性樂器，和立體頻率演奏，最後以10至15分鐘的小組討論／問答環節作結。今次的網上節目同時為未來在 HART Haus 的現場聲音冥想活動打開序幕。節目將以英語進行。

About the Instructor
Shane Aspegren’s unique approach to the traditional group sound bath is influenced by his multifaceted background as a contemporary artist and experimental musician, as well as through his longtime holistic practices of yoga and meditation*. Using traditional instruments such as large meditation gongs and Tibetan singing bowls as the fundamental basis, he expands by incorporation of subtly amplified elements—sine waves and tuning forks of specific frequencies, as well as a custom-made instrument called the Duofluctus, which vibrates its strings through electro-magnetic resonance.
Shane Aspegren 將創作當代藝術和實驗音樂，以及長期鍛練瑜珈和冥想的經驗應用至聲音治療上。他以冥想用的大型銅鑼和頌缽等傳統樂器作為基礎，加上適度元素，包括正弦波（Sine waves）和特定頻譜的音叉，以及以電磁共振震動，名為 Duofluctus 自製樂器。
