Laraaji is a New York City-based musician, mystic, and laughter meditation practitioner. Specializing in piano, zither and mbira, his albums include the 1980 release Ambient 3: Day of Radiance, produced by Brian Eno as part of Eno's Ambient series. Laraaji began playing music on the streets in the 1970s and has since released albums for various labels, often recording himself at home and selling the results as cassettes during his street performances.

Arji "OceAnanda" Cakouros is a Sound Healer, Musician, Usui Reiki Master, and Dreamwork Teacher based in Niskayuna, NY. She collaborates with Laraaji, offering Healing Sound events and Laughter Immersion experiences worldwide.

Joe Patitucci fosters connection to nature through sound, breath, and technology. He’s most known for his pioneering work in the creation of plant music, a practice of translating electrical impedance within plants into sound. Joe has been designing sonic art installations for museums, festivals, and public spaces worldwide since 2012. Through PlantWave, he and his team have created a product that allows anyone to listen to plant music at home, in the garden or on the trail.
