I’ve worked for years as a producer and composer in music, television, and film. More recently, my focus has shifted to creating music tuned to the body itself – sound that resonates physically, frees the mind, and restores balance.
In 2024 I performed this work live in a cinema, chosen for its powerful sound system so the audience could feel the music as much as hear it. That performance was inspired by the chakra system – not as a spiritual claim, but as a way of exploring how sound maps onto the body’s “wheels” of energy. The project’s name, Wheelman, comes from the Sanskrit word chakra, meaning “wheel.”
At its core, this music is about sound as embodied experience – composed using alternative root tunings and frequencies that shape the entire harmonic field.
Sound Frequencies & Effects – Science + Experience
Legend: SCIENCE = peer-reviewed, replicated or promising · EXPERIENCE = cultural, spiritual, or widely reported experiences
40 Hz (gamma entrainment) – SCIENCE + EXPERIENCE
- Science: 40 Hz sensory stimulation (sound/light) entrains gamma rhythms; animal Alzheimer’s models show reduced pathology; early human trials suggest slowed myelin loss.
- Experience: Often described as a “reset” frequency, linked with clarity and balance.
- Sources: MIT 2024, MIT 2025, Fibromyalgia RCT
~1 Hz (closed-loop slow-wave sleep cueing) – SCIENCE
- Science: Closed-loop pink-noise pulses timed to N3 slow waves deepen deep sleep and can support memory.
- Sources: Review 2023, Insomnia pilot 2024
30–120 Hz (vibroacoustic, body-felt) – SCIENCE + EXPERIENCE
- Science: Chairs/mats delivering vibration in this band show stress/pain relief and motor improvements (especially 40 Hz in Parkinson’s).
- Experience: Massage-like grounding effect. 33 Hz is often noted in symbolic/spiritual traditions (pyramids, sacred geometry).
- Sources: Scoping review, PD trial
33 Hz – EXPERIENCE
- Science: No strong peer-reviewed trials at this exact tone.
- Experience: Associated with pyramids, sacred geometry, “Christ number”; often described as aligning and balancing.
528 Hz – EXPERIENCE
- Science: Very small pilot studies exist, not yet replicated.
- Experience: Popularly known as the “love” or “Christ consciousness” tone; listeners report heart-opening and emotional release.
Alternative Root Tunings – EXPERIENCE + ARTISTIC PRACTICE
- Practice: Compositions here use custom root frequencies to set tuning, rather than 440/432 Hz standards.
- Experience: Listeners describe these tunings as more natural, immersive, and resonant.
Testimonials
Sarah, Somatic Coach
“Listening to The Wheelman was unlike anything I’ve experienced. I was guided gently into each chakra, and I could actually feel the sounds in my body at each location. Unlike other sound baths, this was a truly embodied experience – something we need more of in these challenging times.”
D, Artist
“I didn’t know what to expect, but the experience was profound and still continues to unfold. No matter where my mind wandered, the physical sensations carried on. It felt grounding and cleansing, as if a channel had opened that allowed creative energy to flow for days afterwards. The transformation went beyond mindset – rare, powerful, and something I long to feel again.”
Emma, Health Coach
“The Wheelman has created a unique sensory journey of epic proportions. I sat transfixed as waves of sound moved through my energy centres, keeping me anchored in the present moment. The visuals and vibrations stayed with me long after. More than meditation, The Wheelman felt like the soundtrack to the movie of my life.”
