Between music and medicine
When Robert Gupta was caught between a career as a doctor and as a violinist, he realized his place was in the middle, with a bow in his hand and a sense of social justice in his heart. He tells a moving story of society’s marginalized and the power of music therapy, which can succeed where conventional medicine fails.

The beauty of music
It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness and of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature, and everlasting beauty of monotony.

Synesthete Lidell Simpson composes sounds he senses in his “inner hearing.”
Lidell Simpson likes to say that though deaf, he’s never known a day of silence in his life. His “inner” synesthetic hearing sounds something like a techno dance song and he works to recreate the sounds so that other people can hear what he does (video below). This southern gentleman, who hails from Mississippi, was so misunderstood as a child doctors first recommended he be institutionalized. His mother wouldn’t allow it and now he not only speaks several languages but contributes to our understanding of synesthesia with his own research. This is our Q&A.
