Background
Founded by Dr. Vincent Sebastian, a musician, music producer, and ethnomusicologist with 25 years experience. A deep explorer of music and consciousness, with a PhD in music, ritual, and its evolving technologies. He dedicates himself to advancing our understanding of music’s transformative potential through his music, performance, writings, and talks, with a global vision for changing the way we think about music.
Sound + Soul
The Sound-Soul Initiative proposes that music is a technology for soul development, connecting us to a deeper source that provides meaning, purpose, and insight. Moving beyond music’s entertainment and commercial value, this approach highlights its psychological and spiritual role in human health and development.
Following in the tradition of ancient music legacies
Throughout time, music traditions have existed that fuse knowledge of sound with development of soul. The Sound-Soul Initiative continues this legacy, bridging the gap between ancient wisdom and modern science, while providing a system adapted for Western minds and modern contexts.
Transformative Arts
The Sound-Soul Initiative facilitates the production of transformative arts. These are creative works embedded with the wisdom of transformation. This expands the role of artists- from entertainers to technicians of consciousness- increasing their responsibility and service within the wider community.
Music enables access to deeper states of consciousness — entraining our nervous systems, connecting us to others, and resonating with the deeper structure of reality.
