About the Curators
Yogya Modi
Hi! I am from India and I listen to crazy amounts of music. I was introduced to the paradise of music back when I was six years old, with the evergreen track, Numb, by Linkin Park. Ever since, I have actively seeked and shared music with and from every person I have met (I have attended school in multiple cities and have met different kinds of people). I also enjoy collecting new music from less popular sources like TV ads and radios in showrooms and restaurants.
I don't care what genre of music I am listening to as long as it gives me "the chills" (a.k.a frisson or goosebumps). However, in recent times I have developed a strong interest in Chill Electronic Dance Music. In order to keep the chills strong, I have made it a point to never loop tracks I have already discovered (ironically, my playlist's name is Music to Loop Forever). I do this so that when I listen to an already discovered track again (after a long while) I can truly experience and appreciate the pleasure it gives.

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.
