Radhika Das on Kirtan, Heartbreak, and the Healing Power of Music (Encore)
Q: What was the creative challenge of shaping these ancient chants into songs that work for a modern listener today?
Das says the challenge was making spiritual music engaging in a short format for modern listeners. He worked with Ryan Hadlock to give the chants an appealing, soulful presentation while preserving their devotional purpose.
Radhika Das on Kirtan, Heartbreak, and the Healing Power of Music (Encore)
Q: Can you take us back to that moment, kind of describe what it felt like? And did you know right then and there that your life had just changed?
After a breakup in Spain, Das chose to join a Kirtan gathering instead of remaining alone with his distress. The chanting moved him to tears and gave him a sense of spiritual connection, opening the way to a new direction in his life.
From Guitarist to Medical Musician: Andrew Schulman's Inspiring Journey of Healing Through Music's Power
Q: So when you play for a critically ill patient, can you walk us through a typical session?
Schulman consults the charge nurse, starts with the sickest patients, and often begins with improvisation. He chooses music intuitively, commonly uses Bach and moderate tempos, and watches patients' vital signs during sessions that generally last 20 to 30 minutes.
From Guitarist to Medical Musician: Andrew Schulman's Inspiring Journey of Healing Through Music's Power
Q: Can you, Andrew, take us back to the moment when music became a matter of life and death for you? Can you tell our audience what happened?
Schulman recounts a 2009 surgery after a suspected pancreatic cancer diagnosis, complications that led to cardiac arrests and a medically induced coma, and his wife playing Bach's St. Matthew Passion. He says his vital signs stabilized and the music helped save his life.
Kelsie Watts: Healing Through Music, Loss, and the Power of Connection in Our Lives-Encore Episode
Q: If you were going to give some advice to someone who is struggling right now, and not just struggling, say with the problems that sort of inspired you in your life with your brother, but just any problem, what kind of advice would you give?
She recommends finding a trusted person or community, even if it is only one person, who understands and can be present without trying to fix everything.
