the sounds of shamanic dj
sound as listening, creation as response
Shamanic DJ (Serena Olsen) is a sound artist and facilitator whose work has shaped many of the soundscapes used within the innerdance process. Her approach to sound is rooted in deep listening, responsiveness, and an ongoing relationship with rhythm, silence, and collective experience.
​
This page offers context around her contribution to innerdance soundscapes—not as authorship over the process, but as one expression within a wider, evolving field of listening.
approach to sound
Shamanic DJ’s work is guided by attentiveness to the moment—listening to what is already present rather than imposing a predetermined structure. Her soundscapes often emerge through live composition, intuitive sequencing, and responsiveness to space, group, and timing.
​
Rather than treating sound as a mechanism for effect, her work emphasizes flow, transition, and presence. Silence, texture, and restraint are as important as intensity or movement.
​
Sound is approached as relationship, not control.
contributions to innerdance soundscapes
Beginning in the mid-2010s, Shamanic DJ contributed to the early circulation of innerdance playlists and shared sound libraries within the global community. Over time, this evolved into the creation of recorded soundscapes that supported both live sessions and personal listening.
​
These recordings have been used by facilitators and participants across diverse settings, contributing to a growing familiarity with certain wave-like structures and sound arcs—while still allowing each experience to remain unique.
​
Her work exists alongside many other sound expressions within innerdance and continues to evolve through practice and collaboration.
on authorship and lineage
While Shamanic DJ’s work has influenced many soundscapes used within innerdance, the process itself does not belong to any one individual. Her contributions are understood as part of a shared and evolving lineage shaped by community exchange, listening, and lived experience.
​
Sound within innerdance continues to change as it moves through different people, cultures, and contexts.
