Stephen Halpern is one of the first to explore music as a tool to effect mood and energy. His sparse reflective keyboard creations launched a whole new genre of music, New Age. Based on his own spiritual and health-related experiences, Steven discovered secrets of combining ancient sound healing traditions with quantum biology and energy medicine to produce recordings that support relaxation, stress management, yoga, meditation, massage, sleep, accelerated learning and pure listening pleasure.

Dr Alfred Tomatis formulated the theory that many vocal problems were really hearing problems. His theory that "the voice does not produce what the ear does not hear," is the hallmark of his research and his method. He discovered that the voices of opera singers had damaged their own muscles of the middle ears. With damaged hearing, they were forcing their voices to produce sounds in registers they could no longer hear.In his attempt to retrain his patients, he developed the Electronic Ear, a device which utilizes electronic gating, bone conduction transducers and sound filters to enhance the uppermost missing frequencies. The goal is to tonify the muscles of the middle ear in order to sensitize the listener to the missing frequencies. Visit the website.
