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…

It’s such a blast to make music. I’ve been doing it since I was a little kid. I can remember getting a very small metal set of drums for my birthday when I was 5. At least I think it was my fifth birthday. But that’s not the point. The point is that I bet my parents and grandparents regretted giving me that present. … Read the rest…
Music isn’t the only thing that makes you human. And it’s not even the main thing. But music is real. And that’s true even though it’s totally invisible and void.

But someone you know might be that particular one out of three. So, if you care about their well-being, I suggest you keep reading to … Read the rest…
A huge amount of people (maybe the majority), on social media, aren’t listening to music. Well, maybe that’s not the best place for research. Even though social media IS the source of all truth. 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…
