Indeterminacy in music and life An exploration of uncertainty, taking inspiration from the works of Cage, Oliveros, and Reich. Thoughts on therapeutic applications. Instructions for a sound experiment you can try at home.

New blog post: thoughts on chance-based operations and indeterminate compositions, and how they can be applied in therapy. How the desire for certainty creates stress and anxiety and a reframing with music therapy.

A study in Nature Communications examines the relationship between musical rhythm skills and developmental speech-language disorders. The findings indicate that rhythm abilities may serve as a factor in the early identification of these disorders in children. go.nature.com/3WyI95Q πŸ§ͺ

Autistic people aren’t unaware of social cues. We’re often hyper aware. We just value directness over performance.

There’s a misconception that autistic people lack empathy or don’t understand social interaction. The reality is far more complex.
