I read how some Finnish, American, and British researchers (I’ll call ’em the FAB team) used a technique called sonification to “hear” how certain proteins function. Those researchers believe “listening” to proteins, and how they work, might help doctors discover and treat diseases more effectively. Sonification occurs when composed music and mathematical algorithms interconnect. Have you ever listened to Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9? That … Read the rest…
Using vibrational sound therapy for healing sounds pretty darn appealing to me. Especially since I’ve been interested in and connected to sound all my life. In fact, I recall how fascinating it was when I first discovered tuning forks. Because it wasn’t just sound to me. The vibration and tone were like a secret connection to God.

But here’s why I mentioned it. Because listening to music is supposed to help your cognitive function. Could that possibly be true? Uh, yeah. Or else I wouldn’t’ve even brought … Read the rest…
Here’s some scientific research to get your day off on the left foot. And I promise, I’m not trying to fill your head with earworms or brain fog. I just think you should know how things really are in this life. Because my illuminated opinions might not be enough for some people. (I’m sure that’s not you. Right?) Check out this information that came … Read the rest…
Warning. Blatant and obvious bias just ahead. I’m a musician. And I’m gonna share information with you that emphasizes the powerful, therapeutic advantages of music. So, you might feel yourself being drawn toward buying some of my music. And I want you to know, up front, that’s not my goal. In fact, I’d prefer you don’t buy music from me.
