Their mission is to explore their cultural roots, find common ground, and build bridges between their varied experiences, spreading healing energy globally. The Power of Voice and Instruments - The human voice is our oldest form of expression, while flutes, as the oldest known instruments, have evolved alongside language to articulate what words sometimes cannot. The cello, with its ability to produce frequencies as low as 150 Hz, provides a therapeutic resonance. Together, these instruments create a unique healing soundscape. Music as a Healing Force - While the instinctive understanding of music’s healing power is widespread, scientific research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms behind it. This project serves as a basis for studies on music’s effects on stem cell differentiation, cellular metabolism, and gene regulation via epigenetic mechanisms. A Long-Term Vision - This project marks the beginning of a long-term quest for healing through music. By combining their talents and cultural insights, these musicians aim to harness the therapeutic potential of music and share its benefits with the world.
