Tierra Bomba teams up with with the Mayan Warrior to host a massive sound meditation with Alexandre Tannous (soundmeditation.com), aiming to inspire the Burning Man community around the spiritual aspect of meditation and the mystical aspect of sound.
Throughout the experience, Alexandre will play a series of ancient and new instruments and recordings that positively affect the spiritual growth of all living beings, while Paolo Montiel (NERD Studio) will play an innovative light show inspired by the golden spiral and the sacred geometry.
The sound meditation music will then slowly blend into a DJ that will drive attendees into a night filled with magical sounds and lights.

The sound meditation is an integrated practice that combines a shamanic ceremonial setting with an Eastern emphasis on breathing exercises and visualization. Specific musical instruments played during the meditation allow participants to use sound as a therapeutic tool to disconnect from discursive thinking and delve into a transcendental state. The goal is to enable participants to disengage their undesirable habitual patterns and to empower positive cognitive change. Most of the instruments used in a Sound Meditation are overtone-emitting instruments such as gongs, Tibetan singing bowls, bells, metallic discs, etc. These instruments have been used in meditation and sound healing for centuries in many cultures and continue to be used.
Alexandre has conducted ethnomusicology fieldwork for 18 years in over 40 countries. His research investigates issues of acculturation, community, musical identity in an urban setting, and the concepts of talent, charisma, and leadership in music.
