Understanding my Egyptian Blue Alchemy bowl through spectral analysis amplifies how I use it and for what purpose. Knowing that it has two tonalities helps me determine what other bowls to play with it and when. Understanding the difference in LFO rates between struck and bowed can help me bring a specific affect into the session especially in combination with other bowls or instruments. When I work with clients, this research is never in the forefront of my mind, but the understanding it brings helps me access another layer of wisdom in making sound for them.
