For as long as humans have been on Earth, there has been music. Every style and form, with instruments as varied as humans themselves, and creative expression from the highly religious to the playful and sensuous. But does the long history of our musical experience mean there is nothing new to be discovered? Is the music we hear and feel today in its many expressions all there will ever be?
Portals brought together a group of accomplished musicians from around the world to lead Music: An Exploratory Space, a special event that attracted a diverse gathering of music lovers and the music curious. In a series of experiments with sound and form and frequency, the group began a new discovery of what music can become in the future. What role
can music play in elevating and even transforming a human life and humanity? How can we tune and experience ourselves as a human instrument?
Join the explorers as they begin to unlock the magic and mysteries of music. Among their insights:
- You don't need to be a Mozart, an Elvis, or any other popular musician. Each person can play their unique music as distinctive as their fingerprints
- Music is not notes and sounds; it's not only the way we perceive it through our ears. Music comes from something else
- Music is a universal language, and a great place of healing
- It's something so powerful the ancient Greeks put music as one of the five sciences and arts every human should learn as part of the platform of life
- What about the greatest organism of all that we live on, Planet Earth? If animal life and trees and plants are influenced by water and music, maybe the planet itself is influenced by music
- Many approaches to music focus on the outer aspects, like pitch, rhythm, and sounds, which is fun. We’re looking at what's going on inside
- Music moves us in more than just special moments. It can be a conscious medium to facilitate, elevate, and uplift people and humanity in a time of change
- Music can be a conduit of energy and essence that allows a deep connection to the language and soul of a land and country
- What is the inner music within the music? The vibrations that cause something inside, and that can be transferred to another person via the medium we call music
- Imagine a world without music. Painful, isn't it?
The music exploration is one of the special events that, together with our conversations, are part of the ongoing discovery into what is emerging on the frontiers of human experience in this time of profound change. More upcoming special events can be found on the Events page.

This initial exploration into music is not a concert, not a performance, but more is a way of coming out of the unique passion... with music and its transformative properties. This event is about generating a space of listening, of appreciation, of healing and possibility. When we create that space, we are less likely to be hurting each other. We are producing an impact beyond even the moment if we share and transmit these senses and sentiments to the world at large. And music can offer us a conductive medium and access point to feelings, to states, and to connective atmospheres.
