“When we can start learning how to move that energy around in new ways, it starts shifting our perspectives and reality,” he explains. In his personal studies, Duplessie’s learned to consider everything in terms of energy and vibration-when we think about our words and thoughts, we can get into habits of thinking and saying certain things. “I feel like that’s just a key element to being human.” “It’s something that we’ve intrinsically found within ourselves: we love expressing ourselves musically,” Duplessie says. These are the type of things I want to raise awareness about, to help show, in a way.” “That’s been the biggest kind of insightful aspect for me, seeing the power of our voices and the words we use-even thoughts, we have in an energetic and vibrational fashion. “In my own personal expression, I’m learning more about tapping into my voice,” he explains.

The Savannah community now has an opportunity to explore the healing power of sound for themselves: ManiFest.Ī day-long festival down in Morrell Park, Duplessie says the idea has been years in the making, traced back to his days in Savannah band Word of Mouth. I even like to quote Nikola Tesla: ‘If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.’” “‘In the beginning was the word,’” he quotes.
In fact, Duplessie says, music and sound’s crucial role in our lives can be traced all the way back to sacred texts, like the Bible. MATT DUPLESSIE is a believer in the power of sound.Īs a musician (currently in his solo project, Clandestiny, formerly of Word of Mouth), he explores the transformative power of positive vibrations and tones as someone involved in the healing arts, he’s fascinated with sound’s connectivity, remedial abilities, and transformative communal bonds.
