Ideas of Noise is pleased to have the chance to re-present two of the artists featured in its inaugural festival in August 2018, in two new explorations of sound by Sound Therapist Soesen Edan and Artist/Musician Rosa Francesca.

Soesen Edan is a certified Sound Therapist with The British Academy of Sound Therapy. Based in the Midlands, Soesen has been working with music for nearly 20 years, playing instruments, DJing, running music nights and festivals and traveling the globe in search of the best sonic remedies.

Having worked with artists and musicians all over the world, Soesen realised that the most special part of her work was how music and sound effected people.

She now runs Edan Sound, working with groups and individuals using sound as a tool to help heal and balance. She has worked all over the country with a variety of groups and individuals including people with Autism, chronic illness, in special and mainstream schools, with members of the public, with elderly dementia patients and in hospices.

When performing with other musicians and artists, Soesen uses singing bowls, gongs and percussion in a free form improvised way, taking people on an uplifting sonic journey. In 2016 she supported Swedish band Goat in the No Thyself project.
