Unwind your nervous system and sink into relaxation.

Relaxation isn’t always easy for us modern humans! We operate on such a high buzz of productivity during the day, that the slower rhythm of the restoration state often eludes us. The solution? The specialized music of Calm, which utilizes entrainment and simple sound to lull the nervous system into a peaceful, regenerative state.

Because of the re-arrangement of tempos and melodic content, Calm is the ultimate easy listening, classical music. Through decreasing tempo and simplified harmonic complexities, the heart rate naturally slows and the mind unwinds. These easily assimilated soundtracks create a gentle repose free from stress or anxiety. On a scale of 1-4, with 1 being the slowest and least complex harmonic content, Calm is a mellow 2. Tempos are a soothing 50-70 bpm — the ideal relaxed heart rate. Solo piano, duos and trios (piano, cello, oboe/English horn) delicately interpret the music of Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart, Corelli, Schumann, Schubert, and others. Calm provides gentle, yet powerful, stress reduction. A side note: Due to the very effective production techniques used on Essential Sound – Calm (50-70 bpm), many of these tracks are also found on iCalmPet recordings.

Find your zen again.

Essential Sound 2 Calm music to relax
calming music for dogs and cats

The breakthrough research behind Through a Dog’s Ear shows that the mammalian nervous system is extremely sensitive to sound — and that special arrangements of classical music have a profound soothing impact on anxious beings, far beyond normal musical compositions. We created this music for human health, as well as your discerning ear.

The over-arching psychoacoustic theory for Essential Sound is summed up in two words– simple sound. This term refers to the process of minimizing intricate auditory information found in most music. The music of Essential Sound is intentionally selected, arranged, and recorded to provide easeful auditory assimilation. Three primary considerations accomplish this effect:

1. Orchestral density
2. Resonance and entrainment
3. Pattern identification

When we’re young and healthy, we have abundant cerebral processing power to attend to many streams of sensory stimuli–be it sound, sight, touch, or smell. However, as we age, sensory tolerances decrease. When life energy is at a lower ebb, or when neurodevelopmental issues are present, music and sound can be a valuable source of arousal responses. Sometimes though, the intricacies of conventional music are too much for a depleted system to take in; music and sound may become mentally distracting, annoying, and even painful. This may lead to the involuntary retreating from auditory stimulation, therefore being deprived of sound’s beneficial vibrational effect.

Essential Sound is psychoacoustically designed to support stressed or overtaxed immune or nervous system function. From very slow and soothing, to playful and uptempo, the full 8-hour program of ESS provides a sound regimen of graduated tempos and progressive compositional complexities. Each level has been created for specific relaxation and arousal responses. Each note in Essential Sound’s minimalist “sound paintings” has been carefully and purposefully considered for optimum physiological and psychological effect. The simple sound of Essential Sound is key to the music’s elegance and benefit. Further information on the psychoacoustic principles and techniques used in these recordings can be found online at www.JoshuaLeeds.com.

Please note: Because of the deep calm production techniques used on Essential Sound – Calm (50-70 bpm), many of these tracks are also found on iCalmPet recordings.

“Beautiful. I found this company in 2007 when my Lab, Ramona, developed firework anxiety, and the music really worked so I bought this for myself and its just as lovely as the dog music. I often fall asleep on the couch listening to it. I’m probably too stressed, but it definitely works to relax me.”

—Lawrence Green, St. Louis, MI

“So great! I have all the Through a Dog’s Ear music downloaded and I wanted new stuff for all of us, so I tried this album. It works just as well as the dog music. My dogs curl up at my feet and seem to know its time to chill. I don’t think its MORE relaxing, but it works equally well and its really nice to have more beautiful calming music to listen to together.

—Rion Manchez, Santa Fe, NM.

Totally works when I need to cool off coming home from work.”

—Brittany Felly, Maple City, MI.

“I got this download for free during a promotion, but it’s quickly become my favorite. Beautiful classic music – just for me this time!”

—Rhia Percysk, Roy, WA.
