Program Description
Mystic Soundwaves is a new radio platform dedicated to exploring the mystical, spiritual, and transformative dimensions of music. The program is based on the idea that sound is not merely entertainment, but a primordial force (vibration) capable of resonating with humans on deeper levels — inner, cosmic, and communal.
Ancient traditions around the world have always considered sound as the primal principle of the universe, an act of creation and connection. For many cultures, music was not merely an aesthetic language: it was a bridge between human and cosmic, a tool for healing, a ritual, and a means of harmonizing body, mind, and spirit.
Objectives
In the contemporary socio-cultural system, music has progressively been transformed into a commercial product and consumable background, losing much of its original significance:
• ritual
• spiritual
• communal
• energetic
• therapeutic
This reduction is the result of modern dynamics — industrialization, commercialization, and the loss of the sacred — which have created a profound fracture between music and its ancestral function.
Mystic Soundwaves is designed to explore and heal this fracture, offering new perspectives by drawing both from contemporary research and the memory of ancient traditions. The Role of the New Age: A Bridge to the Past (and the Future)
Since the 1960s, the New Age movement has sought to reconnect this link, reviving the idea that music can:
• alter states of consciousness
• support meditation and introspection
• harmonize body, mind, and spirit
• facilitate emotional and energetic healing
Without replacing ancient cultures, the New Age has brought back to light tools, techniques, and visions that modernity had marginalized.
Science and Vibration: The Bridge of Physics
Contemporary studies suggest that sound — understood as physical vibration — can influence liquid matter, including the structures of water. Since life and the human body are largely water-based, this opens fascinating possibilities: it is not just a metaphor to say that music vibrates within us. The program integrates this research without sensationalism, posing questions, comparing data, and creating fertile ground for dialogue.
Program Mission
Mystic Soundwaves creates a radio environment where:
• scientific research
• ancient practices
• music therapy
• artistic experiences
meet and intertwine, giving rise to an authentic and interdisciplinary dialogue.
The goal is to:
• inform without oversimplifying
• inspire without dogma
• provide practical tools for mindful listening
• give voice to traditions, artists, researchers, and visionaries
• explore the power of sound as a means of deep connection
Each episode offers listeners:
• in-depth insights
• interviews
• guided sound experiences
• artistic and spiritual reflections
• scientific and comparative perspectives
Mystic Soundwaves is hosted by Sara Cicognani and Tom Raymond and airs on CKMS-FM every other month on Sundays from 4:00pm to 4:30pm starting 25 January 2026.

CAR287 Presents “The Manitoba Rockin’ Revolution”
It gives me the chance to surprise myself with tracks I’d forgotten about, get more familiar with tracks I haven’t heard much, and spontaneously meet my old favourites again. Plus, I still get a kick from the whiplash of jumping from quiet folk to ecstatic dance music to abstract jazz. I won’t subject you to the complete disorder of shuffle, but I can give you a taste (with some of my own chatter on the side!). Expect music from any genre, any time period, anywhere in the world.
