LOS ANGELES – (April 17, 2008) – The Global Sound Conference, whose purpose is to explore the many ways that sound affects our lives and show how sound can improve our world, announced today a free visitor friendly exhibition hall and nightly movie screenings. The four day event will take place May 9 – 12 at the Marina Del Rey Marriott and will include an amazing lineup of doctors, scientists, musicians, and media visionaries who will address the various components of sound including Health, Science, Entertainment and Technology.

The exhibit hall will open at 9 AM and will showcase the latest in sound based technologies that can help relax your mind and body. Included in the exhibit hall is The Tama-Do (Way of the Soul) Sound Pyramid that will be revealed to Los Angeles for the first time. As you sit in the middle of this “pyramid” you become engulfed by the copper, brass and lenton tubes that form the side of the instrument. The Tama-Do Sound Pyramid calms the mindless chatter in your brain and clears the negative energy in the mental subtle field. Free sessions will be offered to anyone who attends the event.

Other exhibit highlights available for demonstration include voice biofeedback machines which are used (among many applications) to help the deaf improve speech quality through visual representation of correct vocalizations. In an effort to reduce pain, blood pressure, heart rate, tension, anxiety, depression and fatigue, vibracoustic sound tables have been created, that stimulate oxygen flow within our bodies. This technology is used by NASA to keep bones from weakening during space travel. the Global Sound Conference welcomes you to go on an inner exploration journey by taking advantage of this complimentary technology.

Additional exhibits include:
• RA Music--Music lovers can experience music in its original form at the RA Music booth where music (which is tuned to man-made standards) is transformed back to “Nature’s Standards”, immersing you in a total body experience giving music more power.

Second Annual Event Highlights Latest Developments in the Science of Sound; Award Winning Artists Sheila Chandra, Yungchen Lhamo, Agape Choir Perform Evening Concerts

LOS ANGELES (April 16, 2008) The Global Sound Conference announced today its second annual event bringing together the world’s top sound researchers, technologists and musicians will take place May 9 – 12, 2008 at the Marina Del Rey Marriot in Los Angeles. Anchored by a visitor-friendly exhibition hall showcasing the latest in sound-based health technologies, the event features a comprehensive program of lectures and panel discussions that explore the many ways in which sound affects our lives – medically, emotionally and spiritually – and how we can use the power of sound to improve our world. Nightly concerts featuring musical superstars Sheila Chandra, Yungchen Lhamo, Rickie Byars Beckwith with the Agape International Choir and others will put a festive exclamation point on each day’s events.

With the goal of presenting a 360 degree overview of the latest developments in the study of sound, this year’s event examines aural trends in the areas of music therapy, motion picture sound design, rehabilitative audiology, acoustics, musical performance techniques and more. Participants include luminaries from across a broad range of disciplines including jazz legend Stanley Jordan, psychoacoustic expert and Through a Dog’s Ear author Joshua Leeds, top Hollywood sound designer Alan Howarth (The Spiderwick Chronicles), The Mozart Effect author Don Campbell and researcher Marilyn Schlitz of the Institute of Noetic Sciences.

“Sound impacts us on such a primal, unconscious level that we often overlook or take for granted the role it plays in our health and mindset on a daily basis,” said Alex Theory Ph.D., founder and director of the Global Sound Conference. “While sound has been used for decades as an established medical treatment in specific applications such as ultrasound, it’s only been recently that Western science has begun to produce studies establishing how sound and music influence us in other ways, particularly on a neurological level. We’re looking forward to a lively mix of cutting edge research and traditional wisdom in our discussions of how we can use sound as a tool to create practical and effective solutions to many common issues.”

For early risers, the conference kicks off each morning at 7:30 AM with an hour of guided meditation led by world renowned yoga instructor Shiva Rea in the main exhibition hall. The exhibits open at 9 AM with highlights including voice biofeedback machines, which are used (among many applications) to help the deaf improve speech quality through visual representation of correct vocalizations; and vibroacoustic sound tables, which stimulate oxygen flow within our bone marrow and are used by NASA to keep bones from weakening during space travel. There will also be food, music and personal sound healing tools such as tuning forks and crystal bowls available for purchase.

Tickets to the Global Sound Conference are available on its Web site at www.discoversound.com and offer various levels of participation – from an all access show pass to tickets for the individual concerts and workshops. Passes for individuals and families looking to spend a day viewing the exhibits on the show’s main floor will be available pre-sale online and at the door for adults $20.00, and kids under 12 free.
