The Harmonic Presence work of composer-singer and contemplative teacher David Hykes includes a wondrous "music of the spheres" called Harmonic Chant, as well as teachings and practices about deep listening, attunement, and healing harmonization. The musical work and the contemplative and healing practices are the fruit of David's 34 years of research, experiences and discoveries as both a pioneer of contemporary sacred music and devoted student of the world's wisdom traditions.
From collaborations within eastern traditions, with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, the Gyuto and Gyume monks of Tibet, and other spiritual luminaries, to decades of concerts and retreats in cathedrals and music festivals throughout the world, David shares the integral knowledge of the sacred sound lineage known as Harmonic Chant he founded in New York in 1975. He was Artist-in-Residence for ten years at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York with his group, The Harmonic Choir. Since 1980 he leads Harmonic Presence contemplative retreats all over the world. His work relating music, meditation, mind, and healing has led to collaboration with the neuroscientists and contemplative practitioners of the Dalai Lama's Mind and Life Institute and awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, UNESCO, and the Rockefeller Foundation for his work developing a global contemplative music of our time.

David Hykes's inspiring presentation will include a concert of mystic Harmonic Chant with "sound mandala" video projections made by the human voice, followed by the sharing of the work and research of his Harmonic Presence Foundation over the last 30 years relating music, meditation, healing and well-being. Hykes will share key moments of his journeys-- in wisdom traditions, from the Taos Pueblo to Tibetan Buddhism, in music from the New York avant-garde to sacred world music, and in science from musical cosmology to the Mind and Life Institute (which brings together neuroscientists and contemplative practitioners). His transforming encounters and collaborations with rare beings of this world include His Holiness the Dalai Lama, elders from the Taos Pueblo, the Gyuto Monks and nuns of Nagi Gompa in Nepal, and his teachers, Tibetan Buddhist masters Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche and Tsoknyi Rinpoche. The light of both science and the wisdom traditions shows how deeply contemplative awareness practice can help us transform the mind and cultivate the deepest harmonic qualities of being-- joy, compassion, presence and openness.
David Hykes is a pioneering contemporary sacred music composer, singer, meditation teacher and visual artist. He leads contemplative music and meditation retreats around the world with the Harmonic Presence Foundation, exploring relationships between the mind, music, meditation and medicine. In 1975 he founded Harmonic Chant, an approach to "the music of the spheres" based on the harmonic series, found in all music and throughout the universe since the Big Bang (the Cosmic Microwave Background, or CMB), and the Harmonic Vision system for transforming music into visual mandalas. He was the first western musician to study and collaborate with musician-practitioners from Tibet, Tuva, and Mongolia, collaborating with the Dalai Lama, the Mind and Life Institute and the Gyuto Monks. He is a noted “sacred cinema” composer ("Travellers and Magicians”, "Baraka”, "Meetings with Remarkable Men"...) as well as for films like "Ghost," and "Dead Poets Society." Hykes’s work has been honored by UNESCO, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Rockefeller Foundation, and NYSCA. His 12 albums include "Hearing Solar Winds," the best-selling "throat-singing" album of all time. Information: www.harmonicpresence.org.
