MUSIC PRODUCER
Joshua Leeds is a music producer, specializing in psycho- and bio-acoustics.
Psychoacoustics is the study of the perception of sound.
This includes how we listen, our psychological responses, and the physiological impact of music and sound upon the human nervous system.
Bioacoustics is the study of animals and sound. Joshua has focused on the bio-acoustic aspect of how human sound affects animals.
Joshua believes the terms music, sound, frequency, and vibration are essentially interchangeable, because they are different approximations of the same essence. Beginning in 1986, his unique applications of resonance, entrainment, and pattern identification have become the unique identifiers of his 70+
specialized recordings.
