Hello all! This week I was a guest on theExpand Your Horizonsradio show with Andy Thomas. Andy has been my guest on Legalise Freedom several times over the years (check him outHERE) and he is also the organiser of the Glastonbury Symposium conference at which I was invited to speak back in July. The link to the radio show episode can be found below. Show notes: 'In this episode, I'm joined by broadcaster and Legalise Freedom host Greg Moffitt for a wide-ranging conversation about sound, consciousness and the forgotten acoustic dimension of the world around us. We begin with Greg's unusual path from playing keyboards in Cradle of Filth to working at York Minster, before exploring how sound has shaped his life and why he believes modern noise pollution, headphones, screens and constant stimulation are changing the way we think, feel and relate to one another. We also reflect on silence, the strange psychological impact of the pandemic's quieter soundscape, and why simply stopping to listen - whether in the countryside or the middle of a city - can reveal an entirely different world. 'From there, we travel deep into archaeoacoustics: the study of sound in the ancient past. Greg shares thoughts on Stonehenge, megalithic sites, cathedrals, pyramids, cymatics, acoustic levitation and the possibility that our ancestors understood sound in ways we have largely forgotten. Along the way, we discuss writers and researchers who have influenced his thinking, from Paul Devereux and Olaf Stapledon to Andrew Collins, Graham Hancock and Robert Schoch. It's a fascinating conversation about how sound may shape matter, mood, memory and even civilisation itself - and why, in our deafening modern world, this subject deserves far more attention.'
