“As an AI ethics researcher, digital media and audiovisual interaction designer, I’m interested in creating resonant expressions of enhanced potential through the integrated application of colour and sound design, which can directly influence the wellbeing and mood optimisation of sentient beings and the environments they inhabit.
Underpinning my creative nature are decades of production, design and research and development training, which I have been able to combine with knowledge and wisdon informed by Tibetan Buddhist studies and practice.
I also integrate microtonal audiovisual harmonic philosophies inspired by teachings and transmissions received by the Gundecha Brothers (IND), and in particular the late Ramakant Gundecha. - Cy Gorman

Underpinning Cy’s innovative technical training is over 12 years of embodied practice converging Tibetan Buddhist philosophy and practices, holistic Qi Gong theory, and practices with integrated Sound and Lighting/Colour designing for the wellbeing of humans and the environments they inhabit.

Cy’s unique integration of Nada Yoga and microtonal vocal studies with the Gundecha Brothers (IND) blended with extensive sound design training and personal guidance from Neil Harbisson in the field of sonochromatism are central to the innovative nature of Cy’s sound and light wellbeing practice

Cy’s ongoing mind-body studies stem from Daoist Qi Gong practices, Tibetan Mantrayana, Vajrayana and Tantrayana including blessings, transmissions and instructions from Jigme Khyentse Rinpoche and Manjushri Mantrayana blessings and instructions from Lama Tendar, as well as attending in person teachings with HH The 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet in ‘The Stages of Meditation’, ‘The Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment’, ‘The Jewel Lamp, A Praise of Bodhicitta’ and ‘A Bodhisattva’s Way of Life’, ‘The Heart Sutra’ and the Ushnishavijaya Puja at Aloka Meditaion centre 2020.
