Michael Macdermid - Musician, Audio Engineer, Sound Healing Practitioner - Founder of Selkie Tides

A Lifetime in Sound
Meets a Passion for Healing.

My name is Michael Macdermid. For three decades, I've worked as a musician, composer, and audio engineer, deeply understanding how sound moves, interacts, and affects us on a physical level.
My career has been dedicated to one question:

how does sound create an experience?

At Selkie Tides, I bridge that technical expertise with studies in psychology and sound healing theory. This isn't just a playlist of relaxing sounds. It's a deliberate, expertly-tuned environment. I use the principles of physics and music to craft sessions that are not only beautiful but physiologically effective, helping to calm the nervous system and create a gateway to your own essential truths.
