Thrum Soundworks aims to build soundscapes that reflect the fluctuating nature of human experience.
Breath, heartbeat, joy and sorrow, everything ebbs and flows and can be captured within the realms of frequency.
In the evocation of emotion, memory, and sensation, sound has the potential to bring clarity to the confounding and deepen our understanding of ourselves.
Through extensive work with the modality and a diverse range of clientele from different cultural and experiential backgrounds, we have developed an affinity for creating a sensory foundation for spiritual insight to blossom. Thrum Soundworks strives to make each session a singular and safe space, wherein each attendee feels welcome to embrace whatever arises.
We love what we do and are grateful for the opportunity to play a small role in the healing journeys of others.

Kind Words
"I am honored to have been able to attend several different sound baths/live sound yoga classes (in the studio, as well as outdoors in the park) that Richard has performed in. It has been an incredible experience. It's added an additional depth to my yoga practice and allowed me to be more in tune with my senses and body. Music does wonders for the soul. Richard is very talented in his music capabilities. Not only is he amazing with the instruments, but he brings a sense of calmness and spirituality with him that allows for me to breathe and soak in the music because I can feel the passion he has for what he does. I wish more classes could incorporate his live sound music in their sequences.​"
