In this experiential presentation, Dr Samuel Wong will share The TENG Company’s latest impact project, Music for Mindfulness, which aims to promote wellness and lower stress and anxiety for listeners. Backed by research and using the sound wave therapy of Binaural Beats (BB) alongside ancient Chinese philosophies of music therapy, the tracks are created with a dynamic progression of BB from theta to delta waves while embodying TENG’s signature East-West sound through an arrangement of the Dizi (flute), Guzheng, Pipa, Erhu, keyboard and acoustic guitar. The audience will be invited to experience the music during the session.
