Envisioned by composer and sound artist s a t y a (Satya Hinduja), ASE is rooted in a deep curiosity about the transformative potential of sound in the human experience.

We are evolving into a cross-disciplinary platform for research and innovation—drawing insight from neuroaesthetics, cognitive neuroscience, somatics, and epigenetics. Through this convergence, we explore how auditory perception and resonance may influence emotional, physiological, and sensory systems.

Rather than offering prescriptive outcomes, ASE seeks to collaborate with neuroscientists, clinicians, institutions, and research consortias in open inquiry to explore how auditory stimulation, spatial resonance, and vibroacoustic design might contribute to emerging understandings of health, presence, and inner balance and support therapeutic processes, promote nervous system regulation, and enhance individual and collective well-being.

‍MISSION‍

At ASE, we approach health as an ongoing process - dynamic, nonlinear, and unique to each individual. We believe sound can play a powerful, supportive role in this process by helping restore balance to the nervous system, enhance somatic awareness, and create space for emotional integration.

Our goal is to deepen understanding of how consciously composed sonic environments—grounded in both art and research—may contribute to human flourishing. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, we aim to develop accessible, ethically informed sound practices for diverse communities and care settings.

WORK‍

ASE is cultivating an ecosystem of artists, researchers, engineers, and technologists to explore the integration of sound, music, spatial audio, and vibroacoustic tools within immersive experiences, performances, and educational formats.

Our practice is inspired by ancestral sound wisdom and shaped by contemporary research. We invite all the senses into what we call medicinal arts and science—creating integrative journeys that support physiological, emotional, and psychological balance.

‍RESEARCH‍

ASE is in the early stages of forming a Sound and Health Research Consortium—a collaborative network of scientists, artists, and technologists committed to developing and advancing evidence-based approaches to sound and sensory design.

We are particularly interested in:

• How rhythmic, tonal, and spatial sound patterns may support nervous system regulation and resilience
• The role of sound in emotional processing, neuroplasticity, and access to states of flow or presence
• How emerging epigenetic research might inform the long-term influence of sensory environments on health and adaptation
• Scalable applications of sound for clinical integration, public health, and preventive care

While research in these areas is ongoing and evolving, we align with the growing fields of sound and music therapy, neuroaesthetics, and integrative health. Our commitment is to contribute through rigorous collaboration, open inquiry, and thoughtful design.

ECOSYSTEM‍

ASE is building a network of collaborators across disciplines—from sound artists and architects to neuroscientists and care providers. Together, we are reimagining how sound can be embedded in education, public space, wellness, and cultural experiences.

We actively seek partnerships with universities, hospitals, research labs, and creative institutions to ground our work in both scientific rigor and sensory imagination. Through these collaborations, we aim to co-create immersive tools and environments that honor ancient traditions while contributing to the evolving science of perception, resilience, and human transformation.
