Shane Aspegren’s unique approach to a holistic sound practice combines his multifaceted background—as a contemporary artist, composer, and experimental musician—with training in therapeutic sound traditions alongside an ongoing research into modern wave science. As an artist, Shane’s work juxtaposes improvisational languages within carefully-crafted frameworks, frequently exploring a cross-discipline and non-dualistic perspective on such topics as consciousness, societal dynamics, and perception. He is largely known for his practices related to music and sound, which often play an integral part in his installations, images, videos, objects, and performances. Interested in the relational aesthetics of every form, he often prefers interactive methods of creation, as well as the practical application of those methods, such as his ongoing work with meditative and holistic practices—specifically the effects of sound and its effects on the minds and physical matter of various living beings. Aspegren received a BA in Film Studies from University of Nebraska. His work has been presented, commissioned, collected, and performed internationally. In 2014, after moving to Hong Kong, he co-founded the electro rock group The Berg Sans Nipple and Blood Wine or Honey. About ONDO: Since the early 2000s, Aspegren has explored various yogic practices, which led to a deep interest in meditation and the perceived experience of the human mind & body. After diving deeper into wave phenomena for a series of installations and performances, this eventually led to the development of ONDO, a natural bridge between his creative and holistic interests. Aspegren has training in Meridian Yoga Therapy, Integrated Vibrational Therapy, and is registered with Yoga Alliance as RYT-200. www.ondosound.com About The Podcast: Aligned By Design with JJ.
