Positive DisintegrationThree Years of Positive DisintegrationIn episode 66, Chris and Emma celebrated the podcast’s third birthday! We reflect on our highlights, challenges, and lessons over the last year.One of the most rewarding aspects of our podcast journey has been the incredible community we've built around the theory of positive disintegration. The relationships we’ve formed—both with each other and with our listeners—have been instrumental in our development. We’ve witnessed the transformation of individuals within our community, and it’s a reminder of how vital connection is in our personal and professional lives.We touch on letting go of perfec...

Laura StavinohaNaturträne (Nina Hagen cover)I have performed this song many, many times while working as The Floating Diva. Since I don't perform classical music anymore, I wondered if I still had it in me: do I still have the vocal range and agility to sing Nina Hagen's masterpiece?
Many thanks to Daniel Winkelman from Studio Winkelman, for recording and mixing!

Adem voor blazers, zangers en sprekersLaura Stavinoha - zangeres/stemcoach/auteurIn deze aflevering spreek ik met Laura Stavinoha: musicologe die eigenlijk zangeres wilde worden en, dat toen toch ook werd om vervolgens de klassieke zangwereld te verruilen voor die van de singer-song writer en producer. Maar het bleef zoeken naar de 'echte' persoonlijke vrijheid en de ware roeping. Ze zette haar carrière on hold om stil te staan en te luisteren. Om het nodige innerlijke werk verrichten en zo los te komen van erkenning en goedkeuring. Het bleek de sleutel te zijn tot een stem die helemaal vrij werd, ondanks alle techniek die ze al in huis had. E...

Positive DisintegrationVoice as a Mirror of Inner StatesIn episode 52, Chris and Emma talked with Laura Stavinoha, who offers singers and speakers coaching and counseling about the voice and personal development through her company, Use Your Voice. Laura is the author of the book Voice: A Multifaceted Approach to Self-Growth and Vocal Empowerment and editor-in-chief of the Dutch Positive Disintegration website. She will join us in Denver this summer to present her work at the 2024 Dabrowski Congress. The human voice is a tool for communication, and a reflection of our inner state. Laura discusses how the voice can provide insights into our emotions, stress levels...

The idea for The Atlantic Assembly was born during corona-lockdown when musicians saw all their gigs, rehearsals and lessons getting cancelled. Communication was possible exclusively online, and as a result my friends at the other side of the Atlantic suddenly felt just as nearby as my friends in Amsterdam.

Laura StavinohaThe Other SideYou may think that I’m insane
Curiosity is my game
When the portals open up
And let me flow on top
I never ever thought
I never thought I could feel
And if my heart then skips a beat
Revelation is complete
Let go of time and out of space
Two dimensions we tend to overrate
That’s what humans do
Take me to the other side
Let me take control
Take me to the other side
I want to know how it feels with you
Locations in my mind
To which before my eyes were blind
Insanity and clar...

Cause we’re so lost inside
Don’t want to be rude or unkind
But I’ve got to search for something you hide
Take my hand, and lead me inside
You don’t need to be scared
Things won’t collide
Cause I see you, I feel you I hear you, but I cannot connect to

Laura StavinohaThe Air We BreatheFast fashion
Food wasted
Flight bargains
And more highways
It’s never enough
But keep longing
For sure, we will reap what we sow
We won’t see, most things we have we don’t need
Take good care of what your eyes cannot see
The air we breathe
Fuels burning
Oceans dying
Ice melting
And storms breaching
Too big too comprehend
So keep laughing
For sure, we will reap what we sow
We won’t see, most things we have we don’t need

Lyrics:
There's just too much, much too much
It's way more than I can handle
There's no option but surrender
It's this feeling of soul connection
I want to run to keep my comfort, but it's inevitable
This sense of instant fondness, when I looked into your eyes
Tuned in and connected, like some wireless device
Are you teacher or an ally, a companion or a friend
The kind of congeniality, I...

Laura StavinohaLook Inside (4hero cover)4hero: widely respected among music lovers and makers, but for some reason their music hardly ever gets performed by other artists. Why is that?
I wanted to give it a go with this cover of 'Look Inside'. A song about finding your own light, when the world around you appears to become dark and gloomy. It's originally quite an upbeat drum&bass track, but I gave my version a different, somewhat laid back interpretation.
I've recorded this track live in one take, with my looping pedal Boss RC-300. Other stuff on my gear list:

Faith is all that you have when your world gives reflections of the dark
Empty, vast space reduces your heart to the unknown
Don't grow too attached to the stories that you create about yourself in your mind
Embrace all empty space and transform it into peace

Laura StavinohaFaith Evans - Mesmerized (live cover song)Live looping with vocals and bass guitar. I'm feeling very happy that I finally recorded this song! It's an excellent composition with a quite basic, but strong arrangement. In my opinion, this song is just 'made' for live looping with my Boss RC-300 pedal: All you need is beatboxing, bass and lead vocals. TC-Helicons VoiceLive 2 adds a little touch up with the harmonies in the chorus. Let me know what you think!

Laura StavinohaEvery Day (Laura Stavinoha vs. D Train bootleg remix)It was my intention to make an edit of this tune, but it turned into something completely different. I sampled a couple bars from D Train's The Shadow Of Your Smile, wrote some lyrics, turned them into a melody and recorded new vocals. I also added sounds from my Roland Juno 106 synthesizer.
Not really sure how to call this type of music though...is it a remix with new vocals? A new song based on sampling? Drop me a line if you know! Enjoy, I hope you like it.

Laura StavinohaMinnie Riperton - Inside My Love (live cover song)Are you ever ready to record a cover of your biggest musical inspirations? I guess not, but here I am anyway. This is a song about connecting on a deeper, spiritual level. So I chose for an intimate interpretation and simple arrangement. Thank you Minnie Riperton and Leon Ware, your timeless music is straight from the heart.
This video is a live recording. The vocal harmonies you hear are made with TC-Helicon VoiceLive2, a foot controlled device.
While recording the track, I've also made a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGo4BTaPG-w

Laura StavinohaYuna - Live Your Life (live looped cover)Also check out the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMcqT4WqLOM
This is my rendition of 'Live Your Life', a song by Malaysian singer-songwriter Yuna from 2012. It's the first single from her self-titled album, produced by Pharrell Williams. Yuna's message here is heartwarming, so I kept the arrangement quite simple to let the lyrics stand out. Let me know what you think!
I've recorded this track live in one take, with my looping pedal Boss RC-300. For the vocal effects I use TC-Helicon VoiceLive 2.

Laura StavinohaMassive Attack - What Your Soul Sings (live cover song)To me, this song stands out as the best track from Massive Attack's album '100th Window'. Sinéad O'Connors lyrics are so pure and wise, I wantend them to be at centre and shine in this acoustic rendition. I hope you like it!
"Say what your soul sings to you." It's about knowing that your are not just your thoughts, feelings and ego strategies, but so much more than that. Go and look behind them to see who you really are.

Laura StavinohaPete Dunaway - Supermercado (Laura Stavinoha edit)Brilliant oddball funk tune from Brazil, by singer/guitarist/composer Pete Dunaway. His real name is Otavio Augusto Fernandes Cardoso, and he doesn't seem to be very well known outside of Brazil. So I can't tell you much about the guy and his music. But his song 'Supermarket' really stands out I think, and I found it worthwhile to make an edit and introduce his music to a broader audience. Many thanks to Stan Djers for the advise on this one :-)
