The Whole Music Experience

I have plans to include essays on this blog about applying music to permaculture, green architecture, and other eco-friendly practices.  I hope to interview architects and landscape designers and healers who work with plants, animals, and nature using sound/music as a tool. If you know of anyone I could interview for this research and to include on this blog, please contact me at wholemusicexp at gmail.com Thank you.

I recommend listening to music in whatever way possible. At the moment I’m limited to 10 CDs while the others (another 588 CDs) are safely stored at a friend’s house along with my guitar. But I keep thinking of the desert island scenario and what CDs I would take along with me knowing full-well that the island would not provide electricity for me to play these CDs and the battery on my computer only lasts 2-hours. Then there are other scenarios that could play out such as complete blackouts of electricity in areas where disasters have struck. Expect the unexpected is my motto these days, but what about adding music preparedness to the kit? Obviously there are situations where we won’t have access to our CDs, but we might still have access to music...
