Band creates the 'most relaxing tune ever'

[www.telegraph.co.uk].


"A British band has worked with sound therapists to create a tune described by scientists as the "most relaxing song ever".
Boffins say the eight minute track, called Weightless, is so effective at inducing sleep it should not be listened to while driving.
Carefully arranged harmonies, rhythms and bass lines help to slow the heart rate, reduce blood pressure and lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol"

I wonder if this might be useful for some variants of cardiac arrythmias. Will look for this tune on itunes/youtube

Ian G,

This sounds fascinating to me and I'm keen to hear it. I did a search on You Tube but couldn't find the piece. Is Boffins the name of the artist(s)?

Thanks in advance,
Po.

Ian, mellow is good - just for relaxing whether or not it's for heart issues....
Thanks for that link... it led me to some Enya selections that were great!

I have no idea who the band, Orchastra, or Violinist were, but the most beafutiful-Mellow music I ever heard was yesterday, when I put on the local Cable TV weather Channel. Background Music.. It was an Orchastra`s version Of Pink Floyd`s ""Time"" from dark side of the moon.. I `ve been playing Guitar for over 40 years, and always fielt that the Guitar solol on "Time"was on of the best. The Violins were great. I might have to call the Cable TV company and see if I can find out about that Orchstra.. Todays backgound music is ordainary piano tunes. boring..

It's funny, but I felt that the beginning was highly stressful.

As if they deliberately created tension in order to eliminate it.

I'm not saying it's bad, in fact, it's very effective.

Entrainment is something that I feel could be effective, but has not gotten much attention
