About the speaker
Laura Inserra is a globally recognized sound alchemist and “technician of the sacred,” creating immersive experiences that blend global music, field recordings, and cutting-edge technology. Born and raised on volcanic Sicily, she has explored the invisible world of sound since childhood, weaving music with nature observation, wisdom traditions, and Western science. A self-taught and classically trained multi-instrumentalist and educator, she is renowned for her Hang music (a type of handpan instrument) and her collection of rare ancient and modern instruments. She developed MetaMusic Healing, integrating sound healing, ancient practices, and modern psychology. Featured in the book Your Brain on Art, her work has also supported Johns Hopkins research. Through Chambers of AWE, she created Qualia, a music-driven planetarium experience weaving art, science, and ancient wisdom.
