This week’s episode is an incredibly fascinating conversation about music and sound with Andrea Cortez. Andrea is a board certified music therapist, sound artist and sound meditation instructor. She specializes in studying the effects of music on the brain and body to help people rehabilitate from brain injury and neurological disorders. She founded the Mind Body Music center whose mission is to utilize and promote music’s inherent therapeutic and healing qualities in order to elevate the minds, bodies and hearts of others. Her work has brought her to playing music for animals and even with plants using a fascinating device called Plant Wave that detects electrical variations in plants and these variations are then translated into pitch messages that play musical instruments. Be sure to listen to the end of the episode to hear more about how Andrea composes music with plants. Throughout the conversation you’ll also have a chance to hear samples of music that Andrea has composed with plants and compiled into her Secret Song of Plants album. If you want to learn more about Andrea, her teachings, and journey into the world of sound, tune into her podcast called Sound Meditation Radio.
