Another sound-based therapy is Samonas Sound Therapy. SAMONAS stands for Spectrally Activated Music of Optimal Natural Structure. The founder of this program was Ingo Steinbach, a German physicist, sound engineer and musician. Steinbach was able to create something truly innovative because of his background in several fields: music, physics, acoustics and electronics. Also because of the leaps in technology that had occurred in the 1980s and early 1990s with the high quality of CDs as compared to tape technologies… > [@](#): > > …Samonas Sound Therapy was many years in development. In 1991-92, Klangstudio Lambdoma, the studio of Ingo Steinbach, **developed equipment that revolutionized the quality of recording and processing music and nature sounds so that the spatial qualities were preserved up to the 20,000 Hz range.** The brain can detect when music is recorded and when it is live. These special spatial qualities are very important information for developing the auditory system, training of lateralization and those global thinking skills necessary for human function. This first stage of development was the Sonas principle, which stands for the ‘System of Optimal Natural Structure’. Recordings of music and nature sounds are available using the Sonas principle of recording. > > With the development of the envelope-shape-modulator, Steinbach was able to boost the dynamic of the high frequency overtones of music and nature sounds, while maintaining the same overall energy of the signal. This was a true breakthrough in sound therapy development. His work resulted in very natural sounds with special emphasis on the high frequency sounds that are so important in sound therapy. This is the spectral activation used in the Samonas Sound Therapy. Samonas stand for ‘Spectrally Activated Music of Optimal Natural Structure’… (source: [Article on Sound Therapy](http://www.littlegiantsteps.com/samonas_article.php)) --- _[View the full topic](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/agricultural-specialisterne-rural-employment-revolution-for-those-with-autism/50615)._
