1. Yourell, R. A. (1997). Personal journey: Brainwave ambient trance with bilateral sound. Independent Artists Alliance .

Language: English

Format: Audio

Abstract: Personal Journey resonates with a theta (slow) brainwave frequency as well as a subtle version of alternating bilateral (stereo sweeping) sound. Ambient sound (like music, but not patterned in a way one might tire of) includes angelic voices that stream into the soundscape. The brainwave frequency resembles the beautiful sound you discover when running a wet finger along the rim of a crystal goblet. It invites your brain to match it's slower, deeply relaxing rhythm. People use it to improve their meditation, stress management, and even sleep. Restoring and deepening sleep is important for anyone, but especially people with challenges such as fibromyalgia, or recovering from loss, trauma, addiction, or problems with mood. You can leave the CD on repeat to create an all-night sound space at a low volume. With its bilateral sound, Personal Journey goes well with EMDR-inspired processes involving deep relaxation or where added comfort is desired. The sound lasts forty-three minutes, with the same mood and no abrupt changes throughout.

3. Yourell, R. A. (2000). EvoLucid: Evolving bilateral sound. Independent Artists Alliance.

Language: English

Format: Audio

Abstract: EvoLucid provides the alternating bilateral sound sought after by those who appreciate its value in enhancing body awareness, energy awareness, relaxation, and visualization. The sound lasts forty-three minutes, with the same mood and no abrupt changes throughout. Robert A. Yourell, the artist who first made bilateral sound recordings available through the release of UpLevel, created EvoLucid as a smooth variation on bilateral sound. EvoLucid is a somewhat mysterious source of bilateral sound that could be described as silvery or "softly bright". The layers of sound steadily sweep together across the stereo field, slowly overlapping. The angelic chorus and other tones sustain and fade, producing no melody to tire of. In guided visualization, this evolving sound environment expands its listener's minds with compelling bilateral waves for a whole-brain experience. The tones include the vocal range, to help you stream the "monkey mind" of internal chatter into a meditative or grounded body-mind process. Evolucid is engineered to be played at a low volume through headphones, but can also be played on speakers.
