Aquasonic

About Aquasonic

My name is Josef Rebbe, and Aquasonic originated from my research into the effects of tactile sound vibrations, which I began in 2004 during my studies in Sonology at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. Initially, I attempted to transfer vibrations to the body through the air using large subwoofers, but this proved ineffective. When I first floated in the Dead Sea, the idea came to me to transmit vibrations through water. What started as an ambitious concept has since evolved into a thriving practice that helps people reconnect with themselves.

​

A Lot of Help
Aquasonic is not only the result of my vision but also the efforts and dedication of many people who are passionate about this idea.
The development and refinement of the sound files would not have been possible without the invaluable help of Joeri Bonsel, with whom I also developed the Somasono Bank and the Equilibrium Lounger. The practice space was designed and created together with Aad Drewes. Michou Reuland supported me with the validation research for Soundfloating. Nadine van der Zalm dedicated a significant amount of time to further developing the website and sending out newsletters. Gianne Tillema designed the logo, contributed ideas for the website, helped with visualizations, and, together with Koen Timmermans, organized a Go-Life workshop. Erik van Lier drafted the business plan and continues to be a valuable sparring partner. Together, Michou, Gianne, Koen, Nadine, and Erik formed the crowdfunding team, which financed the development of the bath. Kacper Ziemianin developed the software for the motor that moves the transducer in the water, while Vince Vijsma and Yvo van Os designed the mechanical components for this. Vince also assisted with assembling the filtration system.

My Mission
I believe in the power of sound and the positive impact it can have on our well-being. My vision is to make the beneficial effects of Soundfloating accessible to as many people as possible by collaborating with wellness and health facilities worldwide. I am convinced that when we are well-aligned with ourselves, we are also better connected to others. Healthy bodies and minds contribute to a more beautiful world.
Are you an entrepreneur and interested in collaborating? Feel free to contact me. I warmly invite you to get to know Aquasonic and experience the unique Soundfloating experience for yourself. Together, we will build a healthier and more harmonious world.
