A special music for cats


About David Teie

David Teie comes from a long line of musicians. As a cellist, he has given eighteen solo performances with the National Symphony Orchestra including a U.S. tour under Russian maestro Mstislav Rostropovich, who chose David to become a member of that orchestra. As acting principal cellist of the San Francisco Symphony in 1999, he played lead cello on Metallica’s album, S&M. From 2014 - 2016 he was the conductor and music director of Washington D.C.'s premier chamber orchestra, the Eclipse Chamber Orchestra, and currently serves on the faculty at University of Maryland's School of Music. His research and theoretical work has been published by the Royal Society in Biology Letters and by Oxford University Press in Evolution of Emotional Communication. His invention of species-specific music was described by the New York Times as the number one idea of 2009.
David Teie was born into a musical family, spanning three generations of professional musicians. As a cellist and composer, he has a dream: To create a musical world which is owing to the different species.

Why they choose cats for the first choice?

Start from 2009, he put the concept into practice, to distinguish in a scientific way to attract a particular animal’ s song. Even the different growth stage of the fetus in the abdomen, also in his same species of the "specific animals". But his recent attempt was directed at the cats. In general, it is harder to impress the cats than other animals. Teie leave a massage on his website called “Music For Cats” about: From the past when the cat was worshiped by God, to the day they are still being worshiped, cats often have to listen the kind of music which they do not really like.
Music for Cats was born from David Teie efforts to bring real, scientifically credible music to as many members of the animal kingdom as possible. Cats were the first choice because they're widely kept as pets, allowing they to easily share music with them. For the last 6 years, they have been operated in this pursuit with limited resources. But with the help of the funding from they Kickstarter campaign, they will be able to make them first full album.

How does it work?   

The "cat music" he produced is a scientific basis, the content focuses on the experience of making the cat sound and soothing or growing, like a cat sucking milk. Teie also sets the music to correspond to the ideal hearing frequency range of the cat, he said “Sucking is a sound associated with a reward,this is the sound that all cats hear when their structures in the brain begin to form with emotion ”. Its mean, some humans listen to music without feeling, but it will have a great response,relaxing music for cats. In the test, 77% of cats listening to the music by him, with a positive response,and great cat care.

Sounds crazy,right? Teie has said that he will create music, to help the dog has been abused or abandoned to recover, and even help the captive whales in the future.
Regardless of Teie became a composer Dr. Doolittle or not (The doctor who can speak with a variety of animals in the novel ), his new music plan is one of the most attaracted one and the Fund-raising situation is the most successful. Just like Flychord, fight for a meaningful thing, I believe they can do very well.
