Part I: The Keynote with Jens Zygar
As a pioneer since 1984, Jens Zygar brings forty years of wisdom into the world of Sound Music. Learn more on
The role of Integral Sound Work in modern therapy and art.
Why "Sound Music" is the defining genre for a culture seeking mindfulness and grounding.
Part II: The Live Sound Demonstration
This is the "Auditory Exploration." Using high-quality planetary gongs, singing bowls, or synthesized cosmic frequencies, Zygar will demonstrate:
Resonance: How the body physically feels the Cosmic Octave frequencies.
Harmonics: The interplay between different planetary tones and how they shift the "atmosphere" of a room.
Part III: Q&A Session
Take advantage of this rare opportunity to dive deeper with Jens on how to apply these frequencies in their own creative or healing practice,

Jens Zygar is an internationally recognized sound musician, artistic researcher, and educator whose work unfolds at the intersection of music, science, and cultural evolution. Over more than four decades, he has explored sound as an aesthetic, relational, and organizational force—shaping perception, experience, and collective awareness across artistic, scientific, and social contexts.
As a pioneer of contemporary Sound Music, Jens Zygar co-developed the Planetary Gongs in collaboration with physicist Hans Cousto and co-founded the Star Sounds Orchestra, one of the first ensembles to translate cosmological frequency relationships into large-scale musical performance. His artistic trajectory integrates experimental music, embodied listening practices, and sustained research into resonance as a universal principle shared by natural systems, technological structures, and human consciousness.
At the Singapore Sound Days, Jens Zygar brings together the diverse currents of modern sound culture within a coherent and future-oriented framework. The event functions as a living laboratory in which performance, research, pedagogy, and cross-cultural dialogue interact dynamically. Planetary-tuned instruments, contemporary performance formats, acoustic traditions, and scientific perspectives on vibration and perception are woven into a shared experiential field.
Central to Jens Zygar’s work is the capacity to hold multiple perspectives simultaneously—artistic, scientific, therapeutic, and cultural—allowing them to interact without hierarchy or reduction. Singapore Sound Days offers a resonant environment in which these viewpoints encounter one another, generate dialogue, and open new pathways of synthesis. Sound is experienced as a dynamic process that shapes space, influences group perception, and supports creative and personal transformation.
Situated in Singapore—a city characterized by precision, hybridity, and cultural openness—this work finds a context that reflects its own integrative logic. Here, long-term research into sound as an organizing principle meets a global audience engaged in exploring contemporary formats that move fluidly between concert practice, research discourse, and embodied experience.
Singapore Sound Days thus emerges as a distinctive event within contemporary sound culture: a space in which sound operates as an integrative medium, connecting art and science, tradition and innovation, individual perception and collective resonance—curated and guided by one of the field’s most experienced and forward-looking voices.
