about

Following up on his 2018 Brainwaveset, Robert Kroos now offers 4 Sonic Meditations. Four tracks that offer 48 minutes of immersive soundscapes perfect for Deep Listening!

Apart from creating music himself, Robert Kroos is a sound designer for many multimedia projects and performances, but he can also be found DJ-ing and presenting radio shows for the illustrious local WORM radio. He has always had a deep love for all kinds of experimental forms of electronic music – ánd for the deepest of meditative ambient drones.

In the late 90s, he encountered ‘brainwave music’ and binaural beats. Binaural beats are an auditory illusion that is perceived when two different pure-tone sine waves (each of them lower than 1500 Hz with less than a 40 Hz difference between them) are presented to a listener, one tone to each ear. The brain is able to pick up these ‘beats’ and depending on the frequency your brainwave activity can be altered towards states of, for example, focus, relaxation, and deep sleep.

Binaural beats can be created with special software, but Kroos prefers to create them with the help of modular synths.
“Combining this technique with my other fascinations such as sinus waves, overtones, and microtonality, I am searching for ways to use the binaural beats in a compositional process more than as a therapeutic tool.”

The compositional process combined with the meditative aspect is what Kroos is looking for:
“I can experience sound as a three-dimensional space in which I can rest my mind. Music for meditation has no beginning, middle, or end – only expressing the passing of time.”

4 Sonic Meditations demonstrates where this can lead to: four immersive and meditative soundscapes that will help you lose track of time.

A wonderful musical collection that shows the unity of the whole world and the support of Ukraine during the long war, which will undoubtedly end with the victory of Ukraine. And now the terrible numbers... Only according to official data as of today #russiaisaterroriststate killed 510 children in Ukraine, injured another 1141 children, kidnapped 19546 children. There are many more unofficial victims. And russia remains a member of the UN... desynkro303
