Satisfy My Soul

Nemone looks at the link between music and our minds and how sound touches our soul. Her journey goes beyond science and into the realms of meditation, chanting, and ambient beats.

Sound and music reflect our feelings. We reach for specific music or surround ourselves in sounds according to our mood, emotional state or sense of well-being. Music is therapeutic and offers release when there's no other available. Immeasurable comfort comes from hearing your own story reflected back in song. Music connects us to ourselves and others in times of isolation. Never more has it felt like we need sound and music than we do right now.

In the final episode in this series Nemone delves into the science once more with award-winning Neuroscientist Dr. Daniel Levitin and music psychologist Dr Victoria Williamson. Is there such a thing as a happy and sad musical note? She also journeys beyond science into the realms of meditative music to find out its benefits.

Nemone talks to voice teacher Jill Purce from The Healing Voice who explains how she uses sound to enable other states of being through chanting.

Electronic musician Jon Hopkins who is best known for his stunning soundscape albums 鈥業nsides鈥, 鈥業mmunity鈥 and 鈥楽ingularity鈥 is guided by the practice of autogenic training and transcendental meditation, of which he says, "For me, it's not about relaxing. It can get music flowing in a way that's really uninhibited, and I want to spend as much time in that place as possible." Jon talks to Nemone about his meditative work 'Singing Bowl', a 20 minute piece created by a 100 year-old singing bowl found in an antique shop in Delhi.

Plus Grammy award winning record producer, musician and songwriter Paul Epworth, who has worked with a huge range of artists from Adele and Rihanna to Florence and The Machine and Maximo Park, talks about the special emotional connections in music and how he captures that magic in the studio.

Featuring music from Bicep, Prince, Lizzo, Yugen Blakrok, Jon Hopkins and Hannah Peel.
