Joël is a Vancouver-based composer and writer. He has also worked in film as a sound designer and director.
​
At an early age, Joël was intrigued by sound, an attraction that began with his father's record collection and lead to his study of music composition. In addition to this profound fascination with sound, Joël was equally drawn to mysticism, mythology and science. This cocktail of interests took him on to further studies of the martial arts, yoga, meditation and bioenergetic modalities.

Over the years, Joël has initiated several innovative projects focusing on altered states of consciousness and healing through music and sound. His writing, classes and workshops, concerts, and film work focus on creating a deeper understanding of the relationship of sound to consciousness, self-knowledge, compassion, and spirituality.
