How can thoughtfully and intentionally listening to our world inspire
our creative practices? What insights can we gain when we delve into the
immersive world of sound, which permeates our every moment? In
Transcendent Waves, sound healing practitioner, meditation teacher,
and artist Lavender Suarez outlines how listening can unlock moments of
creative spark, self-awareness, and mindfulness in a work that is equal
parts how-to guide and contemplative artist's workbook. Suarez's
illustrated meditations combine the open-ended freedom of Yoko Ono's
Grapefruit with the profound psychological insights of Oliver Sacks to
offer a modern take on the impact of listening in a world that gets
louder every day. Featuring an introduction by Bibbe Hansen--artist,
Warhol star, and daughter of Fluxus co-founder Al Hansen--Transcendent
Waves compiles scientific evidence, anecdotes, and thoughtful prompts
for readers to manifest a sense of wonderment and appreciation for the
intricacies of listening and the new perspectives it can bring to our
daily creative worlds.
