Louisa and Rowan Firethorne are the creators of The Sonosphere, a vibroacoustic therapy [VAT] device and immersive sound experience, revolutionizing the field of sound therapy. Both life-long musicians, their combined backgrounds in physics, biochemistry and material science have provided the foundation for this incredible creative project fueled by science, engineering and plenty of heart. The Sonosphere was invented in 2002 by Louisa Firethorne, who developed 3 different Sonosphere prototypes over a period of 20 years.
The Sonosphere is patented technology and the first to provide a spherical-shaped VAT device, which is more in alignment with the geometry of wave mechanics. Rowan Firethorne has integrated modern digital audio solutions to create a computer controlled interface that allows for a depth of sound synthesis and control which is unrivaled by other vibroacoustic devices. With unwavering dedication and uncompromised vision they have worked as a team, building upon past research and clinical studies in order to bring this therapeutic resonance modality to the world.Louisa Firethorne will be presenting her invention, the Sonosphere, the science behind it’s workings and the music that she and Rowan Firethorne have developed based on their studies of vibroacoustic therapy and how it can open the doors for true healing. Touching on the art of listening through sensation, she will tell the story of it’s evolution, inner workings, and the spatial geometry of sound wave mechanics.
