Hello,
We're Onetone Sonic Alchemy
Our Mission
To raise sonic awareness and sonic activism, We believe in the self-aligning principles of the universe as we tune ourselves and our environment.
We become vessels for Health and wellness. It is our mission to bring health and wellness to our every interaction and relationship.
Our Vision
We Believe In Direct Trade and recognize the value of direct relationships with our collaborators, colleagues, teachers, instrument suppliers, researchers, and craftsmen. We believe that each instrument has an inherent potency that is transferred from the builder to the player we value this potency.
Our Story
Onetone Sonic Alchemy grew out of a response to supply high-quality instruments to our therapeutic sound practitioner students. Joseph has integrated his clinical osteopathic work with sound healing and when he and MJ met they formed collaborative training bringing in MJ’s skills as a gong master, shiatsu, and Reiki practitioner. They found amazing alchemy. Mar, Bitna, and Luke joined in this collaborative experience that we call oneTone. We pride ourselves on bringing a high level of authenticity to our sound family.
Dedication. Expertise. Passion.

Sonic Awareness
: refers to the ability to consciously bring attention to sound waves for the purpose of creating present-moment awareness.
Sonic awareness can also be coupled with the term “Deep Listening” first introduced by Pauline Oliveros’. In this space of present-moment awareness activated by deep listening we align ourselves with nature and develop meaningful relationships with self, others, and the unified field intelligence, also known as the quantum field and simply referred to in ancient yoga terms as a seed syllable “OM”.
The benefit of this alignment with the natural world is that we will recognize our environment (outside world) with the awareness that it is part of us and co-created with us, therefore our respect for it is the same as self-respect.
Sonic Activism
refers to a commitment to promote diversity and inclusiveness and compassion for each other and our planet. It includes personal empowerment and the collective ability to respond to the intelligence of the self-organizing forces of the universe
Listening
In differentiation to mere hearing, this is a focused
state of full body receptivity and allows a deeper contact and natural recognition of the single frequency and its qualities. As this is a foundational practice in many contemplative traditions it needs patience, focus, and will while at the same time a purely receptive and relaxed poise of openness and the surprise of the ‘be-ginner’s mind’.
Tuning In
If the state of listening is deepening we come into a sympathetic resonance, swinging through our physical cells and energetic substances with the vibrations of the selected and specific frequency. This allows us to fully tune in, meet, identify, and become one with the qualities that are invoked by the vibrations, experiencing the possible impact on our physical, emotional, mental, and psychic whole system
Playing
In a spirit of free and contemplative inter-play and creative action and exchange, we can explore different nuances, tonal qualities, places, possibilities, and movements of the unique instru ments both in their physical limitations and symbolic depth.
Integrating
The fruit of the playful discovery and contemplative process wants to be a valuable and useful addition to one’s life and well-being. The experience of a new quality, a recognition of something inherently familiar, an emerging understanding, a sudden insight, an overall sense of a specific energy, and an exposure to an unknown life- or universal force can be shifting our attitude, open new horizons and have a positive, transforming impact on our lives. Only when we integrate experience consciously will we feel enriched, learning and growing, grateful for the gifts of creation
Absorbing
As we all have different ways, preferences, and constitutions of perceptions, cognitions, and reactions the process of absorption can be more tactile, proprioceptive, sensual, visual, graphic, chromatic, cognitive, imaginative, motoric, or even synaesthetic, involving multiple layers of sensory feedback. One can also switch between these channels of impressions and expressive responses to come eventually to a full embodied experience of the planetary frequencies and their multidimensional ‘stories’.
