The Spiral Waltz – Bilateral Music
I composed and produced this piece of bilateral music to offer gentle bilateral stimulation, but my aim was also to make it pleasing to listen to on its own terms. It is 5 mins and 01 secs long and the tempo is 120 BPM. It was written in D#Minor and is 3/4 time. I named it The Spiral Waltz as I composed it to a motif of keeping a broadly consistent melodic top line whilst varying the instrumentation and occasionally veering off but keeping within the boundaries of a returning theme. I wanted each turn of the spiral to have a slightly different sound.
What is bilateral music?
Bilateral music is used to assist with the processing of emotions in brainspotting and EMDR therapies. You could use it as music to have on whilst free writing or doing the morning pages, or you can listen to the track itself whilst doing something else, either is absolutely fine!
I use music like this when I do my morning pages and for when I am offloading or creative problem solving. Hopefully you might find it helpful for this too.
If you would like to use it whilst doing your free writing practice, or just listen to the track on its own, here is how you can do that.
Visit my store HERE. This link will take you to Curios, a place where you can download books, music, videos, audiobooks and also have your own digital store too. When you download the curios app you can play music, videos and audiobooks without Spotify/YouTube/Audible, which can sometimes be a good thing if you don’t have an active subscription.
You can download the track FREE, there is no charge.
Try putting the track on whilst doing the morning pages, or whilst thinking about a problem that you are trying to solve. You need to listen through headphones/earbuds to get the bilateral effect though..
