Resonance, Pulse,
Body, and the
Listening Mind.

Experience first.
Explanation second.

KLAAT begins with two acoustic forces: Amastacia, the C♯ agave didgeridoo, and Ankora, the elk-hide frame drum. Drone, breath, pulse, repetition, and duration generate the experience. The research asks what might explain it.

The book explores resonance and sound physics, rhythm and expectation, attention and absorption, bodily sensation, performer flow, and the different experiences created by live sound and playback.

Strange without
being sloppy.

The inquiry separates what the literature supports from what KLAAT has actually demonstrated. That matters: perceptual absorption is not proof of trance induction; a compelling rhythm is not evidence of a universal brain frequency; and a felt bodily response does not identify its cause.
