We talk about music connecting people across cultures, nations, and generations, and it’s true – it does – but there’s a reason for that – we suspect it’s in the shared experience that the music evokes. And while there’s practically an infinite number of experiences people can share – one of the most “popular” at least in terms of one that perhaps most people have had – is that of being in a shitty relationship.
We hope you’re not in one – but if you are – here’s what it can feel like, the bad – the good – but mostly the bad.

About the Curators
Andrew McCluskey
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. You can learn more about our community here.
