Ocean Gold

A 12-minute immersive sound meditation aligned with the season of Winter by Tensuhi & Tom Middleton

An immersive water meditation for deep rest, flow, and inner listening.

This release marks the first meditation in the Inner Alchemy series; a five-part elemental sound meditation collection designed to align listeners with the natural rhythms of the year through.

Each meditation in the series corresponds to a season, offering a vibrational and embodied pathway into balance, regulation, and renewal.

Inspired by oceanic soundscapes and the fluid intelligence of water, the Water Meditation has been created as a seasonal tuning for Winter, aligning with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), where Water is the governing element of the winter season. Winter is traditionally associated with rest, conservation of energy, deep listening, and restoration. This is an immersive meditation, where you are invited to take part, guided vocal toning techniques are embedded within the soundscape. This participatory approach encourages resonance within the body, supporting nervous system regulation, grounding, and a deeper state of presence.

In TCM, the Water element is linked to the Kidney and Bladder, where our fear, willpower, and inner strength reside. This meditation is designed to support emotional fluidity, energetic replenishment, and a reconnection to inner resources during the depth of winter.

Recorded with a shared sensitivity to frequency, texture, and psychoacoustic space, the collaboration blends organic sound, subtle electronic atmospheres, and vocal resonance, creating an immersive experience that feels both ancient and contemporary.

Speaking on the release, Tensuhi shares:
“Inner Alchemy is about working with sound as a living, seasonal intelligence. Water felt like the natural beginning, an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and restore our inner reserves through sound and voice.”

Tom Middleton adds:
“This piece is about creating an inner environment - something fluid, spacious, and immersive. The intention was to allow sound to gently guide the listener beneath the surface, into a quieter, more receptive state.”

Ocean Gold will be released on 1st February 2026, coinciding with the Full Moon;

A potent moment for reflection, release, and energetic recalibration and marks the opening chapter of the Inner Alchemy collection
