Welcome to the next Sound Travels Sound Forum newsletter. Each month we feature one member of our Sound Forum family who is recognised as having significantly contributed to developments in the field of Sound and its power to transform. 

I would like to take time now to remember our dear sister Danu Fox, who passed away earlier this month after a long journey with cancer. She was a very special singer and teacher and I am priviledged to have worked with her several times, most recently in February this year when we had an amazing retreat in Maheshwar, India.
Thank you Danu, you have inspired so many of us with your wisdom and your voice.

This month it's the turn of Rod Paton & Lifemusic:


Rod Paton
Dr. Rod Paton is a composer, workshop leader, horn player, singer and writer who specializes in improvisation, community music and the therapeutic applications of music.
He was educated at the University of Southampton before gaining a scholarship for postgraduate study at the Janacek Academy in Brno, in the former Czechoslovakia, studying composition and researching the relationship between the Czech language and the music of Leos Janacek.
He worked for a short time as a professional horn player before moving into teaching in further and higher education. His doctoral research at the University of Sussex focused upon the process of renewal in music and is strongly influenced by the psychological theories of Carl Gustav Jung.
He has composed six musicals, numerous scores for theatrical, dance and art performances and many jazz compositions including the large-scale Ascension Jazzmass , described in Jazz Journal International as "a moving testament to the human spirit at its open-hearted best." ... know more about Rod

Rod's next event is a residential in Ireland.

Rod invites you to join him for a long weekend in the magical atmosphere of The Song House, Co. Donegal, Ireland. The weekend will include vocal improvisation, interactive vocal games, chants, joiks and part singing in a non-judgmental, creative, inclusive and open space ... more here

Rod Paton - "Lifemusic - Connecting People To Time"                 
"Rod Paton - puts the 'hum' back into Human"
This book is about time and how we connect to it, though it is not, as some readers may (or may not) be glad to discover, about quantum theory or particle physics but about music. Time is the autonomous, unconditional, inevitable and ultimately, mysterious process through which life grows and decays and music not only measures time, delineating in a purely abstract but palpable way its passage but it also infuses time with emotional significance and therefore, with meaning: in this sense, it creates out of time a hermeneutic canvas...more
