The first visual memory I have is that of the white upright piano in Singapore, Hell and the Dark Forces lived at the bottom, Heaven and the Angels at the top, they would play battles through my fingers and I was hooked.
As a psychology graduate I studied how sound affects human performance.
As a musician I compose instrumental music that stimulates your brain but doesn't mess with your language centers, leaving you free to write creatively without distraction.
As a curator I research how music can improve your life and create flow - I can tell you what music to listen to when studying for a test and why listening to sad music can make you feel better.
As a creator / contributor at musicto I believe that music can make the world better.

Maria Lehua Fish – Music to Curator Interview
9 August 2019
Hi there world! I am Maria Lehua Fish, originally from Kaua’i, Hawai’i but hanging in Petaluma, CA at the moment – a little north of San Francisco.
I currently live my life by walking doggos, farming vegetables/flowers, a smidge of digital marketing and putting on secret live music shows around San Francisco – all whilst cruzing around in an old Subaru outback with the windows down and the music always a little too loud. All in an effort to spend more time with plants, music, and allowing time to create all the art I possibly can…
Shipwreck – Marcos Ciscar
7 August 2019
Recently, the playlist has been driven by words – by lyric – by the articulation of vowels and consonants to give voice to a story. And that’s a good thing – there’s an infinite number of stories out there and words are a great tool to understand and make sense of them…
Bipolar Disorder – Rudegaze
6 August 2019
Certain tracks, like certain Artists just get under your skin. They’re different from other tracks – and not necessarily in a good way – but you keep coming back to them – like dead Irishmen who live under your skin – they’re in there and all you can do is scratch…
Til Death – Gaijin, Aamowi
31 July 2019
Grief is exhausting.
Aside from the mental aspect – it can take a huge physical toll on the body. And I’m not just talking about the lack of sleep or bad diet – I’m referring to the wracking pain in your chest after you’ve cried yourself out…
Meditation – Outerspace
31 July 2019
So I’m going through a phase where the words aren’t exactly coming easy – shocker Huh?! I bet none of you have ever experienced anything like it.
Insert sarcastic smiley face here!..
Mert Turan – Music to Curator Interview
29 July 2019
Hi I’m Mert from Turkey. I study at Middle East Technical University. Currently I’m too busy enjoying the summer in beautiful Florida.
2/ Is This Something You Always Wanted To Do? What Do You Enjoy About It?
Creating playlists have been one my favorite ways to ease my mind. I love spending time with hundreds of albums and trying to make sure every single track is in its right place. For sure, I knew I wanted to do something with music but, I would never guessed I could get a job like this…
What You Say – Kevin Winebarger
24 July 2019
Faith.
Oh man – how hard is that?!
I remember losing mine at the age of 9 – sitting in that ancient Cathedral repeating the words to the prayer of humble access and suddenly realizing that it just had to be wrong. ..
The Brilliant Light of What’s to Come – Aidan Tulloch
15 July 2019
Come on!
You’ve got this!
You’ve got this – you have – it’s right there in front of you…
Edge of Time – Gerhardt
9 July 2019
Totally on a heart break trip at the moment – which is odd considering what’s going on in real life – but there’s so many great tracks that deal with the different aspects of falling in and out of love – and this is one.
And while the vast majority of heart break tracks deal with the pain of being left, or cheated on or God forbid – the loved one dying – I’m always more drawn to the tracks that place the responsibility for the break up on the protagonist – on us…
Nikola Batinic – Music to Curator Interview
9 July 2019
What is good everybody! My name is Nikola and I am from San Jose, California. Currently, I am a full-time undergrad student at Sonoma State University studying Economics. I will be graduating in May 2020. I am also a server and catering assistant for a few different wineries and event companies within the Bay Area and help my dad at his auto repair shop whenever I get the chance. My hobbies include making music with my friends, hiking, and going to concerts…
Improwave IV – Walk Away – Piotr Wiese
4 July 2019
As a writer – have you ever just sat down – let the words flow and then without review or editing – hit send?
Of course you have – we all do – and for essay writers – producing something to a deadline – we’re even more susceptible to the need to just “get it out there” – to be done and to move on…
U Wear It Well – Jennifer Leonhardt
3 July 2019
You know that feeling when you’re just exhausted? When you’ve put everything you have in and still it’s not enough, still the tide comes and moves you on – again – with no clear destination or hope? If you know what I’m talking about you should definitely listen to this track…
