Re: [LAU] OT music conducive to programming?

There is the tomatis method that claims that Mozart is more psychologically healing than any other music. ---------------------- Excerpt from: http://www.tomatis.com/index.php?page=faq&lang=2 After numerous trials with other types of music, we have found that the results obtained by using Mozart's music are amazing, no matter where in the world it is evaluated. In fact, we note that this music is not only very well accepted on every continent but that it also allows listeners to reestablish their own inner equilibrium. In order to understand this effect upon the sense of human balance, we must recall that music is characterized by rhythm, which touches the body; by harmony, which reaches the emotions; and by melody, which calls upon the intellect. According to the classical ideal, these three parameters should be in balance, which is rarely the case, one or the other often being dominant, and, for this reason, producing a rather unusual musical discourse. In the case of Mozart, it seems that this balance was achieved, which may explain the universal character of his music. ---------------------- [As usually happens for anything fringe/alternative the wikipedia article is heavily biased against the Tomatis method]
