Music for Mindfulness is an innovative music experience by The TENG Company that aims to promote wellness and lower stress and anxiety with Binaural Beats.
Binaural Beats are auditory illusions that are produced when pure tones of slightly different frequencies are played to different ears. In recent years, Binaural Beats have been used as a form of sound wave therapy with a range of demonstrated psychological benefits such as relieving anxiety as well as enhancing memory.
Researched over two years in collaboration with the Singapore Institute of Technology’s Health and Social Sciences Department, Music for Mindfulness embodies TENG’s signature East-West sound and harnesses the technology of Binaural Beats along with ancient Chinese philosophies of music therapy that have been fused together to create a convenient, contemporary and easy-listening experience.
TENG produced an audio track incorporating a dynamic progression of binaural beats from theta to delta waves in instrumental music and the researchers investigated the effect of this music on psychological stress and physiological arousal.
This marks a milestone in TENG's journey to constantly innovate and break new grounds, impacting and inspiring through our music.
The album has since been distributed to numerous beneficiaries and organisations, allowing TENG to bring comfort and encourage mental wellness through our music. Over time, TENG hopes to be able to work with more partners to increase the reach and social impact of this meaningful project.
