The extraordinary life of singer, brain scientist, sound shaman Tom Kenyon
NEW Screening date to be announced

Third Street Center, 520 S. Third Street, Carbondale

song-of-the-new-earth-DVD_cvrAn award winning team including Ward Serrill (The Heart of the Game, Miramax), editor Eric Frith (Eden), New York Times animator Drew Christie and Betsy Chasse (co-creator of What The Bleep Do We Know?!) present the extraordinary life of Tom Kenyon, a country singer turned brain scientist and sound shaman.

Song of the New Earth follows Kenyon’s journey from the stage on Broadway, to giant caves in the south of France, the golden-chandeliered symphony halls of Vienna and finally to the snowy peaks of Tibet, performing with the unique – almost four octave range – voice which has earned him a worldwide following.

The film explores in depth the cutting edge scientific research which proves that sound shifts brain states and promotes dramatic healing. Song of the New Earth presents not only Tom Kenyon’s extraordinary journey but also an unforgettable experience with sound.
