When we're in a state of health, the vibrations in our body sound like an orchestra playing a symphony. When we have disease, the sound is out of tune.

Since our thoughts also have vibrations, they need to be pure when we create the music. Our thoughts will travel with the sound vibrations, so the intention of the person making the sound is important. There's a huge responsibility on the part of the therapist to create a healing environment.

We're playing Mozart's 35th symphony because of the historical significance. It was the first piece the orchestra played when it started in 1982.

Sound therapy is ... starting to be taken more seriously. Mystics have always believed in its healing qualities, along with shamanic healers, Tibetans and ancient Egyptians. Now science is starting to justify why it works.

It never really sounds the same. It's sort of like a good symphony orchestra playing a Mozart symphony. You can play it and sit on your ass and nothing happens, or you can play it and make it feel fresh. And that's what this band does.

When you hear a large symphony orchestra. for instance, in a concert hall, there's a big, sweeping sound that just doesn't get on to a record.
