On dissonance and the in-between

Dissonance is that person you invite to the cookout cause you think they’re cool and then they show up asking your other friends personal questions. We’ve all met them, no shade. But then you hear the rhythmic bass line of “Back That Azz Up” and right when you need the night to shift, there they are, ready to turn up and get everyone dancing.

That uncomfortable moment when people are looking around just before everyone rushes the dance floor is where dissonance shines. In music, dissonance is the tension between notes before they resolve.

Dissonance is the in-between and it is the space that INNERWAV was designed for. INNERWAV gives you a moment to look at the dissonance and decide if you want to drop it low or stroll towards the snack table.

Let’s be real, there is nothing wrong with dissonance, a moment of tension. These moments bring clarity, they remind us of what lights us up, and they can lead us to a new perspective. Sometimes you need a little stroll before you jump into the dance pit, and sometimes it’s important that we jump in and explore the possibilities.

This week, take time to observe the dissonance, the moments of tension, around you. Where is it leading you? Five minutes at a time, that’s all you need. Check out this month’s New Releases. Let INNERWAV be the snack before you shake it like a salt shaker!
