Across time and space, facilitators have been experiencing unique ways of being held by sound in the innerdance sessions. Be it by djaying live or by simply using their own voice or other elements to channel the states in the room, the one mind that innerdance brings about always finds a way to speak to those who are willing to listen to the rhythms of the Earth and to the sounds of the universe. Something way older than we actually make sense of and is usually taken from granted: since the beginning, we were sound and our bodies, instruments ready to be played. In this synchronic time we current breathe, the apps we use and even the music instruments can be considered extensions of a body-mind that belongs to cross-dimensional realms, mirroring the different stages consciousness goes through, an aspect that often raises the question: does the room create the playlist, or does the playlist create the room?
Below, you will find a range of materials that come from different facilitators and their own experience with sound and are now sharing some tools and tips based on their work over the years:
*this session will be constantly updated as new elements emerge from the online journey
Audio material
*tracks and audio files with compilations of sharings from facilitators.
YTMP3 - Website that converts songs from YouTube into mp3 files ready to be uploaded into your library (just copy and paste the YouTube link video onto the designated space and click on convert. If you find trouble converting, just refresh the page for a couple of times.
Djay Pro (paid) - macOS, iOS, Windows, Android - most used to djay live during processes.
Pocket DJ (free) - Android - simple app that allows you to play 3 different songs at the same time. For beginners who want to start djaying live, the app's simplicity can come handy when acclimatizing to time management during the sessions. You will need your library to be downloaded into your phone.
Spotify (free) - it is not a Djay app per se, since it does not allow complex mixes to be made or to include different layers and effects to the songs, but it is used by some facilitators who create a set of songs to be played during sessions.
sound editing
*apps to cut, trim, convert etc. audios and songs to be playlisted:
My Noise (free) - iOs, Android - usually played simultaneously to the playlists in the process to add different layers to the songs and bring more elements to the journey. My noise app played a significant role in the shifts of the Playlist and its observations on how to facilitate personal and global processes.
useful tracks
*suggestion of tracks that are traditionally used in the Playlists. Keep in mind that anything can help compose a Playlist: sounds of nature, of the city, dialogs from movies, movie soundtracks, different genres, different timelines, people speaking in different languages, normal/regular sounds recorded from your neighborhood or your last subway ride, kids and babies talking, different instruments, covers of songs and basically anything else you are able to upload into your library! **this list will be constant updated as more suggestions arise from the group space.
