Psi Themes in Music (4 weeks) with Matt Marble, PhD Wednesday: May 7th - May 28th: This 4-week course explores how musicians and composers have drawn inspiration from intuitive disciplines and the psi states they facilitate. We'll begin with a reflection on traditional psi music research getting familiar with related phenomena and concepts, then explore three fascinating perspectives on psi music in practice: Altered States (clairaudience, trance, synaesthesia, psychedelia), Symbolism & Synchronicity (dreams, divination, sacred geometry, myth), Magick & Meditation (ceremonial magick, prayer/mantra, meditation, and healing). Along the way we'll listen to incredible music and reflect on the creative process of paranormally inspired artists.
