About Matt Music
Founder, LI Music Boutique & Sonic Strategist
Matt Music is an audio composer, entrepreneur, and founder of LI Music Boutique. His presentation at TEDxSoardsRoad explores the biophysics of acoustic resonance, showing how harmonic sound waves alter brainwave states, down-regulate systemic stress, and unlock heightened states of creative problem-solving.
“When you harmonize the sound in your environment, you harmonize the chemistry in your brain.”
