Calming Music For Aspies

[Coxhere]

I am sharing a link to a song called, "Sleep." The performance of this piece is the University of Michigan Symphonic Band. The musicians in this orchestral ensemble are all university-age students in one of the U. S.'s best, state funded and run schools. In my opinion, this university is equal in academic prowess with any of the Ivy League schools, including Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, or any other American universities. Entitled "Sleep," this performance can help all of us to "sleep" from the stressors that come up against us and, at times, can make us feel that we are being destroyed by forces outside of our control. I hope this symphonic band's rendition of "Sleep," written by a famous (within the U. S., at least) American composer, Eric Whitacre, will provide a brief sojourn away from the usual and daily tasks of managing lives within a sometimes, non-caring NT world by Aspies.

Here's the link to this incredibly, hauntingly beautiful piece of music:

I was just thinking about and listening to very serene music while driving home. On my MP3 collection I have the soundtrack Maxis used in their first version of "The Sims". Very relaxing piano music.

Thanks for sharing, Judge! This is a great resource for background meditation music!

Before I was diagnosed ASD-1, I'd listen to a radio program broadcast by Public Radio called "Music From the Hearts of Space". I first heard it when their #3 hour long program was broadcast. That was in 1983.
It's still being broadcast, and the most recent program is #1400. It's a mix of various music types and musicians, but mostly low-key quiet music ranging from ambient to world music. My first horse appeared to like it- she'd doze next to the radio in the barn, and would look a bit annoyed when the next radio program, usually jazz, would come on.
One of the musicians that might be a good fit for you guys could be the Daniel Kobialka quartet. Slow extended versions of JS Bach and other composers. Here's an example:

Jeff, I've bookmarked this and will use it in future private and personal, meditation times. This piece of music has the potential of "taking" us deeply into our centered selves. Thanks so very much for sharing this with all of us!
