It is difficult to imagine a world without music. It brings us so much joy over the course of our lives and can really lift us up when we are down, providing a comforting soundtrack to every possible mood. So imagine the thrill of going your whole life without hearing music and then, one day, suddenly being introduced to it. Just think how incredible that would be. Now imagine being able to offer that experience to your cat!
Cellist and musical engineer David Teie, who has worked with Metallica and the National Symphony Orchestra, has invented a new type of music that is specific to certain species. He has spent a lot of time learning how mammals develop their preference for different kinds of sounds, and, through his experiments, has found out that cats can develop a musical taste and will respond to music when they are exposed to sounds after they are born. With this understanding, Teie has decided to make the world a bit more exciting and pleasurable for cats and those who love them with the gift of music.
