Damian Cunningham is a lyricist and the frontman of a Bristol based rock band Black Wendy. The topic of mental health amongst musicians has always fascinated us both. How artists deal with rejection, lack of inspiration, financial burdens, and so much more...will be the main narrative of our conversation.

Dr. Turner Osler, a career academic trauma surgeon at the University of Vermont Medical Center, observed that while our chair-centric society requires sitting for hours every day, such enforced periods of prolonged, static, and unnatural posture not only damages our day-to-day health, but actually shortens our lifespans. Turner decided we should all be sitting better.

With decades of experience as a physician and researcher, and a leading team of furniture designers and body work experts, Turner set out to make his vision of a more healthy sitting experience a reality. The result was QOR360. Inspired by traditions of Yoga, Aikido, Feldenkrais, and bodywork, the QOR360 uses proprietary technology to provide a sitting surface that rocks in every direction allowing your spine to adopt its natural, perfect posture while sitting.
