I wrote something I’m kinda proud of. Not that I’m a big fan of pride - it being one of the seven deadly sins an’ all - but - I really had to work at this one - it took me a long time to work out what I wanted to say and - in the process of doing that - it changed me and will change my behavior in the future.
So yeah - I think that’s pretty cool.
It deals with fire, climate change, how information moves through the world and is all built around a beautiful piece of music written by Fiona that I’ve spent the last week listening to.

About the Curator: Andrew McCluskey
The first visual memory I have is that of the white upright piano in Singapore, Hell and the Dark Forces lived at the bottom, Heaven and the Angels at the top, they would play battles through my fingers and I was hooked.
As a psychology graduate I studied how sound affects human performance.
As a musician I compose instrumental music that stimulates your brain but doesn't mess with your language centers, leaving you free to be creative and brilliant without distraction.
As a curator I research how music can improve your life and create flow - I can tell you what music to listen to when studying for a test and why listening to sad music can make you feel better.
As the founder of musicto I’m on a mission to inspire a global audience of music lovers and artists through the development of people powered playlists.
