This guy is AWESOME! Prepare yourself for some sonic healing! If only the RootStrata offices could get one of these we’d be set.

Find more Dr. Hopkins vibes here and order his totally stellar album, “Golden Ratios: Pythagorean Harmonic Healing I” here. Word.

    Love the influences listed on his myspace: ‘Pythagoras – Brian Eno – Jimi Hendrix’.

    Classic…

    This guy is LA based? I’ve gotta get myself sound-healed….

    This guy seems like he falls on the pseudo-medicine end of the spectrum. I can see the music/vibrations having some sort of relaxation effect though.

    whoa! i bought one of those things for $20 at a goodwill in portland a few years ago. it is double sided with many strings on each side and looks just like the ones in the clip. i never knew what to call it but didn’t even consider “monochord” since it has tons of strings. never tried lying on it.
