Into the void, following the map of the chakras, I journey with Elly Kace: a queer sound-healing mystic and indie artist from Brooklyn, NY, who has graced Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and woven community spaces like the Unstruck Sound Circle and countless deep sound medicine portals. In this episode, Elly traces her creative roots from childhood singing for safety and validation through professional choir and opera, describing ego reckonings that shifted her relationship to sound as service and catharsis rather than performance. We dive into the fear of not belonging, devotion to the divine feminine, cultivating sensual softness, truth-speaking as vocal medicine, and practical guidance like daily low humming and accountability. Elly also shares current projects, including a book on vocal sound healing, her latest hyperpop album, and aspirations like creating a new kind of opera. 00:00 Into the Void00:30 Meet Elly Case01:10 Why Record in Darkness03:19 Body Scan and Inner Vision06:22 Root Chakra Creative Origins14:54 Beauty Survival Wound18:36 Sacral Pleasure and Softness23:51 Inviting Others to Soften28:03 Twin Chakras and Development33:12 Solar Plexus Ego Masks39:27 Host Creative Confidence Shift46:01 North Node Courage47:18 Tears Under Eye Mask47:57 Devotion to Divine Feminine51:41 Fear of Being Seen56:21 Throat Medicine Truth01:02:30 Humming Practice Liberation01:06:15 Third Eye Creation List01:12:49 Following Intuition One Step01:16:27 Crown Void Channeling01:21:16 Where to Find Her 01:24:35 Final Farewell OutroElly’s new album, the Seventh Gate, is now available everywhere, and her tour schedule can be found on her Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/ellykacemusic/?hl=en⁠. The Waitlist for the Visionseed Creative Cohort ( beginning April 2026) is open and filling fast: ⁠https://www.visionseed.co/cohort ⁠
