WELLBEING SENSORY EXPERIENCE
Our 20th Anniversary Sounds
Ground-breaking artist Justin Wiggan has created a curious engagingly innovative soundscape for award winning Cornish beauty and skin company Made for Life Organics to mark their 20 years in business so far.
Justin spent time in the Made for Life Organics lab exploring referencing people, process, and place, capturing every aspect of sound produced by the creation of products. With specialist equipment and microphones , he recorded sounds of the team in their rituals of making world class products.
As you listening to the sound journey you will hear :
ocean seascapes created using Made for Life Organic packaging.
sounds generated from light traveling through the lab vessels as the ingredients soak.
field recordings of the interaction between humans and process in the lab
nightingales singing secret codes.
Human voice weaving with plant song.
music generated by humans touching during massage sessions.
Sounds created by bio sonification a selection of raw materials Made for Life Organics use in their products. Justin took biodata electrical signals and converted these to music, each raw ingredient produced different sounds. You will hear Willow, Lemon, vanilla , horsetail, hyssop , honey suckle , Ginkgo jojoba, rose , green tea , cinnamon, comfrey , nettles , oregano.

The journey in sound also tells the narrative of the journey of Made for Life Organics , of how an idea is sparked and grows.
Justin matched this with the inclusion of brain wave frequencies to match to development of the business starting with Delta waves as a starting point of the business in 2003 to represent dreams and finishing on Gamma Wave to represent expanded consciousness and spiritual emergence in 2023.
The soundscape is designed as a wellbeing narrative so the listener can heal and learn in sync.

Section 1 : 0 – 4 mins
1. Delta waves brain frequency : 0.5 to 3 Hertz deepest meditation and dreamless sleep. Delta waves suspend external awareness and are the source of empathy. Healing and regeneration are stimulated in this state, and that is why deep restorative sleep is so essential to the healing process.
2. Bio-sonification of Willow : Pain relief, Anti-inflammatory, Acne control, Gastrointestinal relief, Fever Reducer
3. Bio-sonification of Lemon : Antioxidant, Anaemia Prevention, Kidney Stone Prevention, Antibacterial
4. Human voice
5. Waves generated from a lab recording of packaging.
6. Nightingale
7. Synthesisers
Section 2 : 4 – 8 mins
1. Theta waves brain frequency : 3 to 8 Hertz Theta brainwaves occur most often in sleep but are also dominant in deep meditation. Theta is our gateway to learning, memory, and intuition. In theta, our senses are withdrawn from the external world and focused on signals originating from within. It is that twilight state which we normally only experience fleetingly as we wake or drift off to sleep. In theta we are in a dream, vivid imagery, intuition, and information beyond our normal conscious awareness. It’s where we hold our ‘stuff’, our fears, troubled history, and nightmares.
2. Bio-sonification of Vanilla : Antioxidant, Neutralises Toxins
3. Bio-sonification of Horsetail : Heals Coagulates
4. Human voice
5. Touch Tones Hang Drum from Human-to-Human Headlands Training
6. Stone Mortar and Pestle
7. Waves generated from a lab recording of packaging.
8. Nightingale
9. Synthesisers
Section 3 : 8 – 12 mins
1. Alpha waves brain frequency : 8 to 12Hz dominant during quietly flowing thoughts, and in some meditative states. Alpha is ‘the power of now’, being here, in the present. Alpha is the resting state for the brain. Alpha waves aid overall mental coordination, calmness, alertness, mind/body integration and learning.
2. Bio-sonification of Hyssop : Soothing Antiseptic
3. Bio-sonification of Honeysuckle : Anti-inflammatory ,Antioxidant , Immune Boosting and Antiviral
4. Bio-sonification of Ginkgo jojoba : overall cognitive decline, blood pressure, incidence of cardiovascular disease and stroke, overall mortality, functional disability
5. Felt Piano
6. Human voice
7. Oil Drip Machine Field Lab Recordings
8. Waves generated from a lab recording of packaging.
9. Nightingale
10. Synthesisers
Section 4 : 12 – 16 mins
1. Beta waves brain frequency : 12 to 38 Hertz dominate our normal waking state of consciousness when attention is directed towards cognitive tasks and the outside world. Beta is a ‘fast’ activity, present when we are alert, attentive, engaged in problem solving, judgment, decision making, or focused mental activity.
2. Bio-sonification of Green Tea : antioxidant, brain function support, fat loss, help reduce the chance of developing heart disease, some protection against cancer.
3. Bio-sonification of Rose : Anti-Depressant , Esteem Boosting
4. Photo-sonification of Light Entering into Lab Jars
5. Bees Wax Field Lab Recordings
6. Touch Tones Hang Drum from Human-to-Human Headlands Training
7. Waves generated from a lab recording of packaging.

Section 5 : 16 – 23 mins
1. Gamma waves brain frequency : 38 to 42 Hertz relate to simultaneous processing of information from different brain areas. Gamma brainwaves pass information rapidly and quietly. Gamma was dismissed as ‘spare brain noise’ until researchers discovered it was highly active when in states of universal love, altruism, and the higher virtues. Gamma is also above the frequency of neuronal firing, so how it is generated remains a mystery. It is speculated that gamma rhythms modulate perception and consciousness, and that a greater presence of gamma relates to expanded consciousness and spiritual emergence.
2. Bio-sonification of Cinnamon: Circulation , Fatty Cellulite
3. Bio-sonification of Comfrey : Heals , Wounds and Sores
4. Bio-sonification of Nettles : Antioxidants, Anti-inflammatory , blood sugar control , Improves Respiratory
5. Bio-sonification of Oregano : antibiotic, lower cholesterol, antioxidant, improve gut health.
6. Photo-sonification of Light Entering into Lab Jars
