In the amazing and emotional origin story of the podcast, Peter reveals the very personal reasons he is so curious about sound, and how his wife’s battle with epilepsy began a journey of loss and recovery that inspired the creation of Sounds Interesting.
Using a combination of personal narrative and interviews, Mozart & Michele tells a remarkable and moving story.
As a Black woman living with epilepsy, Michele is determined to overcome the barriers and prejudices she deals with every day on her own terms. As she navigates a dizzying array of medications as well as pressure to submit to risky brain surgery, she turns to use music as a refuge from her epileptic seizures.
For more than 12 years, Peter witnesses her struggles and shares her joys as they create a soundtrack for their life.
In an incredible turn of events, the healing power of music becomes part of a series of life-and-death questions for Peter, who is relying solely on intuition as he searches for a musical formula to bring his wife back from a coma caused by a seizure.
Only the answers are even more astounding as years later, a still-grieving Peter has a chance meeting with the authors of a new study suggesting listening to Mozart can help reduce seizures. They become guests on a new podcast inspired by these real-life events, a show about sound and its curious powers.
