"Joshua Leeds points to the future for the entire music community—^musicians, producers, engineers, composers, and business people. I applaud his generosity in sharing the psychoacoustic techniques he has developed and utilized to great effect. In combining music and science, Leeds has achieved a dramatic advance in the use of music and sound for empowerment and change."
Joe Hamell, Grammy Award-winning composer, pianist, and author of Counterpoint: The Journey of a Music Man
What we hear—and how we process it—^has a far greater impact on our daily living than we realize. From the womb to the moment we die we are inescapably surrounded by sound, and what we hear can either energize or deplete our nervous systems. It is no exaggeration to say that what goes into our ears can harm us or heal us.
In The Power of Sound Joshua Leeds explores the importance of healthy auditory function. He investigates how noise- or stress-induced auditory dysfunction may result in difficulties in learning, communication, and social interactions, and he explains new techniques designed to invigorate auditory skijls. The accompanying CD of psychoacoustically refined classical music provides immediate examples of the benefits of music explained in the book. Readers can experience the effects of a variety of sounds and begin the life-enhancing design of their own soundscapes.
JOSHUA LEEDS is a sound researcher and pioneer in the production of application-specific audio, with over twenty-five recordings to his credit. He is the cofounder of Applied Music & Sound, specializing in programs for the therapeutic, education, and consumer sectors. He has collaborated with such visionaries in the fields of medicine, psychology, and neurodevelopment as Andrew Weil, M.D., Anna Wise, and Robert J. Doman Jr. Leeds teaches psychoacoustic applications of music to lay people and professionals in the United States and Europe.
