Marconi Union "Weightless"
This is the song “Weightless,” by British ambient artists Marconi Union. It was written in conjunction with sound therapists from the UK.
According to this ShortList article, “Weightless works by using specific rhythms, tones, frequencies and intervals to relax the listener. A continuous rhythm of 60 BPM causes the brainwaves and heart rate to synchronise with the rhythm: a process known as ‘entrainment’. Low underlying bass tones relax the listener and a low whooshing sound with a trance-like quality takes the listener into an even deeper state of calm.”
Yeah, whatever. All I know is that I’ve listened to a decent amount of guided meditations and spiritual new-agey relaxation sounds, and this one seems to really trump them all. Lay back in a comfy place, put on your best headphones and relax. Or better yet, get a massage while listening to this tune. Even better, lay back on your lounger on a boat floating in the South China Sea, listen to this song and watch the clouds drift by while the warm breeze caresses your bare skin.
