LMMS • Forums

I've had lmms about 2 months, now. This is my first electronic composition. As an acupuncturist, I want to make music for the clinic.

Nice track.

This association between music and acupuncture seems exciting.

Sounds can heal, sounds can kill ...
It's scary, as a musician, not to know what I'm doing ...

Do you have any interesting links to share?
Good literature?

Thanks for the comment, and the compliment.

Actually, I have not looked into that subject, much. I was only aiming for relaxation music, not specifically healing music. I have found that the more I can create a deeply relaxing environment for my patients, the better the acupuncture works. I use music to help with that. I have bought music, over the years that claimed to heal at an energetic level, but I've noticed that different music seems to work better for different people.

I think, as a musician, if you are making music that uplifts people, or provides catharsis in beneficial way, you are doing well. Mostly I listen to uplifting music, but if I am depressed, I may listen to Pink Floyd's The Wall, for instance. Encouraging the depressed state can help me move through it faster. I won't, however, listen to music that seems full of violence or hatred, or feels energetically chaotic to me. How I feel about the energy of music can change over time, as well. For instance, during the first ten years or so of my meditation practice, I could not listen to Yes, or much jazz. Those kinds of music felt very chaotic. In the past few years, though, I have been enjoying them again.

Perhaps it is possible to replace the acupuncture needles by an ultrasound beam?

People do use tuning forks. Also lasers. I imagine one could use ultrasound as well.

Quite nice.

Thank you!

By the way, I meant to mention in my first post that I'm using cheap headphones and tv speakers, so I really have no idea how the EQ really sounds.

On my cheap speakers it sounds good.

The mass is between 100Hz and 2000Hz, there is little volume below and beyond. I guess it's okay ...

The wave effect contributes well to relaxation.
