Step back to 1997 with a special episode of The Power of Music Thinking! I'm sharing my first online interview with the incredible Daniel Barenboim – a pioneering moment for both of us.

We discussed classical music, the role of music in Europe, and even Tango & Pop.

Hope you enjoy this trip to the early days of the web!

Let’s talk about books today. What was the last book that inspired you? Was it a novel, a non-fiction book, a design book, a music book or a cookbook?

In this episode, I share three books that inspired my sound way of thinking, experiencing the world with an open ear and what has led to developing music thinking, the framework, the jam cards, the book and the podcast.

As I dip my toe into the tooting waters, I thought I might start with some research shares.

This is from one of my first "sonic seasoning" studies, on the hunt for a soundtrack that would impact perceptions of the spiciness (piquancy) of food.

We end this podcasting year with a young researcher who used improvisation and music as an experimental approach for her thesis on forest and nature conservation. With this approach, she won the Birgit Elands thesis prize just a few weeks ago.

Every two years, my wife and I, visit the Art Biennale of Venice. It's not just a visit, it's a learning experience, an inspiration, a ritual about creativity in the broadest sense.

And this time, I brought my recording device with me on a sound walk through the Biennale of Venice. Hear how the City, the Giardini, the Arsenale, the German, the British, and more pavillions sound.

The better we synchronize ourselves with the rhythms in our environment, the better we feel and the more social we are.

If you are in a similar rhythm with someone, you like them more.
Children who have a good sense of rhythm learn to talk more easily.

Large groups of people naturally start walking in a common rhythm at some point. Even our consciousness seems to be connected to rhythms.

How cool is this? You develop a multisensory product to let people experience your ideas about music thinking, and then someone comes along and uses your product for something completely different. 🤔

🇬🇧 Today, we speak with Anita Prestidge, an English trainer with experience in theatre, directing, and education.
When Anita picked up the cards, she had another idea of what to do with these cards and developed her own unique method.
