On music, sound therapy, balancing the nervous system, the freeze response, and Bajinn’s sound magic…
Ortal has been passionate with surfing and music since he was a kid. He plays handpan and didgeridoo, solo and with his band Onogana.
He also creates these music instruments, and right now October 2018, he is releasing his latest baby, the Bajin: beautiful combination between a bambou shell and aluminum tubes, suspended in the air by strings.
Music for him is about dancing, moving, and enjoying the moment. There is another face to his music though, taking the listeners on a journey to relax into; in his own words: “When playing solo, I am like everyone else in the room, I can go into myself and really connect to that deep peace that is in each and every one of us. It’s very meditative for me and for the listeners.”
He is also an adept of Wim Hoff’s technique, combining breathing technique and exposure to cold, and uses breathwork in combination with his music.
NOTE
In this episode, in addition to mispronounce Ortal’s name and the Bajin, I’m also being very french in using “sympathic” in place of “sympathetic”. So please forgive my frenchiness: When I’m talking about sympathic and parasympathic nervous system, hear sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.
Also, the little sound sample that Ortal gives us towards the end of the interview, being improvised therefore with no proper microphone, absolutely doesn’t give justice to the beautiful sound of the Bajin. Listen to the video I posted below to get a better idea
