Therapeutic Musical Tracks

Prompt:

• Articulate a therapeutic goal. Be specific.

• Create three five minute (exactly) musical tracks to achieve this goal, upload one to a place anyone can download it from.

As a musician who treats making music as a way to have fun and destress, attaching a therapeutic goal to the sounds I make felt hard at first. I am the kind of person who attaches music to memories and people so I chose to use the prompt for a personal therapeutic goal. The musical tracks that I created are intended to guide me during revisitations of past traumas and allow a neutral repetitive sound to place those memories in.

The musical tracks have steady beats that continues throughout the entire track with moments of additional sounds. This helps keep me stable throughout but also provides checkpoints for myself to avoid hyperfixation.
