DiMatteo's approach draws inspiration from ancient and modern thinkers, scientists and indigenous wisdom-keepers, relating sound as both a primal mystery and a practical tool for communication, healing and transformation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeaving together diverse perspectives, \u003cem\u003e Elements of Sound\u003c\/em\u003e compares global traditions of song, poetry, storytelling and sacred language.

Spiritual seekers, curious minds and students of music will find an oasis of inspiration in his work, along with a common language to discuss what might otherwise seem ineffable. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeuroscientist and cognitive psychologist Daniel Levetin wrote, \"Music may be the activity that prepared our pre-human ancestors for speech communication and for the very cognitive, representational flexibility necessary to become humans.\" Music and language are prehistoric, but traces of our ancient origins remain preserved in the mythologies and aural teachings of humanity's living traditions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo learn, to express and to share are intrinsically human. They connect us through sound to the power of creation, and to vibration as a property of reality. \u003cem\u003eElements of Sound\u003c\/em\u003e encourages us to consider how we relate to sound in our daily lives-what we hear, how we interpret it, and how we respond to the world within and around us. \"Music is a limited term. Sound encompasses melody, harmony, speech, thought and a universe full of vibrations.\" - from \u003cem\u003eElements of Sound \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 276\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.62 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 03, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51967000510765,"sku":"9781953220325","price":25.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/wpKcVdrwIi9781953220325.webp?v=1775543999","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/elements-of-sound-a-full-spectrum-exploration-of-sound-and-consciousness-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
