Many notable composers have also featured contemplative concepts in their artistic work.Īmong the best known of such practitioners might be Zen adept John Cage, plus composers Stuart Dempster, Pauline Oliveros, Terry Riley, La Monte Young, R. The fact that certain modern composers use meditation techniques in their creative process-with or without a focus on specific religious content-has long been recognized. I can personally testify that meditating … provides access to a zone of cognitive freedom that one can only characterize as dreaming with your eyes open. Putting on a piece of music to facilitate meditation also provides me with a set ritual within which I can briefly forget all limits. My practice is a kind of beat hybrid of Zen and Dzogchen, and I use sound as an accompaniment to concentration on the breath, which is in itself a kind of reverberating music created by our own lungs. What kind of music, if any at all, serves the purpose of helping meditators establish equilibrium? Some teachers would suggest that music is a distraction, and perhaps it is, but it’s one that has a core place in my own practice. “We ought to listen to music or sit and practice breathing at the beginning of every meeting or discussion.” -Thich Nhat Hanh Graphic scores from Music for Airports by Brian Eno. Composer Brian Eno created his own way of scoring music to capture elements that can’t be reflected in standard notation.
