Leaders in wellness music Myndstream are on a mission to help spas release the power of music as a therapeutic tool in their wellness spaces in 2024. Working with a talented roster of award-winning wellness artists as well as embarking on an exciting new wellness music project with Grammy award winning Super Producer Timbaland, Myndstream believe that 2024 is the year to fully embrace multi-sensory wellness and say now is the time to ‘redecorate’ wellness spaces, ‘painting’ them with sound.
Speaking at the recent 2023 Global Wellness Summit, Founder of Myndstream Freddie Moross interviewed Timbaland on the upcoming wellness music project. Within the interview, Timbaland shared that he experiences synaesthesia, the phenomenon of seeing colour when you hear music . It is this skill that has allowed him success in his career when it comes to creating a mood or feeling with his music. He said “Sound is like colour, for example, yellow is so bright, it makes your temper and stress levels come down”. Through the Timbaland x Myndstream project they will explore how music and colour can help deliver health and wellbeing outcomes.
Taking this idea of using sound as colour, Freddie Moross wants spas to embrace this way of thinking when it comes to ‘zoning’ wellness areas. He says “The spa is not just a place to relax and unwind, if designed with intent and purpose it can be a fully immersive sensory experience that promotes holistic health and wellbeing outcomes. Just as colours evoke emotions and music influences moods, authentic and bespoke audio experiences that connect the essence of the spa with its surroundings can transform your space into a haven for personalised wellness journeys.”
Using this theory, Freddie Moross details his ‘colour music guide’ for spas. All playlists are available on The Stream, Myndstream’s online streaming service for spas. They have been created by world leading musicians and wellness practitioners to help you release the power of music, delivering health and wellbeing outcomes for the listener.
