CANONICAL DEFINITION

PERCEPTUAL
MUSIC

Perceptual Music is an approach to creating and using music around human states, sensory experience and intentional listening.

Perceptual Music is an approach to creating and using music around human states, sensory experience and intentional listening, rather than organizing sound only by traditional genres.

Music beyond genre

Genre can describe style, history and musical convention. My Reset adds another question: what state, intention or sensory experience is the listener exploring?

Not music therapy

Perceptual Music is a creative and listening framework. It is not a medical treatment, diagnosis or substitute for professional care.

State-based listening

The same person may want different things from sound at different moments: calm, focus, energy, connection, release, presence, sleep or reduced sensory intensity.

Intentional listening

My Reset explores what changes when listening begins with an explicit intention rather than only a genre, playlist or artist choice.

Evidence and interpretation

Research discussed by My Reset should be traceable to real sources. Published evidence, My Reset interpretation and experimental hypotheses should remain clearly distinguishable.
