    Who is Alex Michel?

    A life shaped by music, sound and perception

    Alex Michel grew up with music. He entered the conservatory at the age of 8 and discovered a relationship with sound that went far beyond traditional musical training.

    At 12, he encountered sound synthesis for the first time: a vast creative territory where invisible frequencies, textures and sonic matter could be shaped from the ground up.

    From an early age, Alex experienced the world through a particular sensitivity to energy, inner states and the subtle dimensions of perception. During his teenage years, this curiosity naturally led him towards personal development, consciousness studies and the scientific exploration of sound.

    He became interested in psychoacoustics, which studies the relationship between sound and human perception; neuroacoustics, which explores how sound stimuli may influence brain activity; and bioacoustics, which observes the interaction between vibration and living systems.

    At first, this research was driven by intellectual curiosity and creative exploration. He did not yet know that, years later, it would become part of his own personal path back to balance.

    Turning point

    A personal encounter with the power of sound

    In his early thirties, Alex went through a particularly demanding period marked by deep physical, emotional and existential exhaustion. Faced with the limits of conventional support in his own situation, he began to look elsewhere: into his knowledge of frequencies, into his experience as a sound designer, and into the intuition he had always carried about the transformative potential of sound.

    He then created his first wellbeing-oriented sound compositions: audio environments designed to support inner calm, emotional balance, grounding and a more stable state of presence. The first perceived effects were personal, then gradually shared with people close to him who wanted to explore the same approach.

    Mental Waves

    Energetic and Vibrational Music


    With this conviction, Alex Michel founded Mental Waves and devoted the following years to deepening his research, refining his compositions and shaping a proprietary approach: Energetic and Vibrational Music.

    His audio programmes are now used in many countries, including France, Switzerland, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Spain and beyond. They are also used by wellbeing and support professionals such as sophrologists, hypnotherapists, osteopaths, psychologists, relaxation practitioners and body-based therapists, as a complement to their usual methods.

    This recognition has also led to the use of some of his sound creations in sensory stimulation environments and audiovisual devices such as SensoLight, Dream Machine and Kasina. These technologies combine light, rhythm and sound to support specific states of relaxation, focus or inner exploration.

    In these contexts, Alex Michel’s compositions act as the sonic layer of the experience, enriching the immersive effect of the technology.

    Method

    A structured approach to sound and perception

    Over nearly two decades, Alex Michel’s work has evolved into a structured field of exploration at the crossroads of sound design, neuroacoustics, psychoacoustics and wellbeing practices.

    Each composition is developed with attention to frequency balance, rhythm, texture, spatial depth, listening comfort and the state of consciousness it is designed to accompany.

    Mental Waves therefore offers more than isolated audio tracks. It provides structured listening experiences that invite users to explore the relationship between sound, perception, attention and inner balance in a personal and progressive way.

    Frequency balance

    Sound layers are shaped to support the intended state without overwhelming the listener.

    Clear intention

    Each programme is designed around a specific listening direction: sleep, focus, relaxation, reset or inner exploration.

    User experience

    Feedback from listeners helps refine how sessions are structured and understood.

    Responsible frame

    Mental Waves sessions are wellness tools, not medical replacements or guaranteed treatments.

    His vision

    Making sound-based wellbeing simple and accessible

    Alex has developed dedicated compositions for everyday states such as sleep difficulty, mental overload, chronic stress, emotional tension, lack of focus and deep fatigue.

    Simple access

    No complex protocol. The experience begins with listening.

    Emotional balance

    Sound can help create a more stable inner frame.

    Focused states

    Some sessions support attention, clarity and mental organization.

    Non-invasive support

    A responsible wellness practice that respects the listener’s pace.

    Energetic and Vibrational Music is designed as an accessible, non-invasive and sustainable wellbeing tool.

    Not magic. Not a medical promise. A rigorous, experience-based approach, shaped by research, sound design and nearly two decades of practical feedback.
