Runningdeer then explores the energetic aspects of music healing, especially the quality of personal energies that a musician channels through her music.

Where does learning begin and how is it sustained and stored in the brain? For musicians, these questions are at the very core of their creative lives. Cognitive and neuroscience have flung wide the doors of our understanding, but bridging the gap between research data and music-making requires a unique immersion in both worlds. Lynn Helding presents a symphony of discoveries that illuminate how musicians can optimize their mental well-being and cognitive abilities.

The award-winning creator of the acclaimed documentary The Music Instinct: Science & Song, explores the power of music and its connection to the body, the brain, and the world of nature. Only recently has science sought in earnest to understand and explain this impact. One remarkable recent study, analyzing the cries of newborns, shows that infants' cries contain common musical intervals, and children tease each other in specific, singsong ways no matter where in the world they live.

Der renommierte Experimentalmusiker David Rothenberg hat Musik mit Walen und Insekten, mit Wasser und Wind gemacht: Den faszinierendsten Sound hat er jedoch bei den Berliner Nachtigallen gefunden, die dort im Wettkampf mit dem Stadtlärm über sich hinauswachsen. Also lässt er sich vom Himmel über Berlin durch die Stadt leiten und spürt diese außergewöhnlichen Singvögel in den großen Parks auf. Der Philosoph Rothenberg analysiert ihren Klang und geht der Frage nach, warum sie Dichter und Künstler seit Jahrtausenden so inspirieren.
