Calm In Chaos

A Musical Journey Through the Neurodivergent Mind

About

Can music reshape the brain? For one neurodivergent composer, the answer became personal.
In Calm in the Chaos: A Musical Journey Through the Neurodivergent Brain, a gifted child turned experimental musician invites readers into a deeply personal exploration of sound, self, and science. Diagnosed with Asperger’s in adulthood and living with a seizure disorder caused by neurological trauma, the author transforms music from a form of escape into a tool of discovery.
From binaural frequencies and solfeggio tones to whispered field recordings and dissonant layers, this book maps a journey of using music not just as art — but as neurological architecture. Drawing from years of journaling, composing, and self-observation, the author reveals how music can calm sensory overwhelm, build memory, bridge hemispheres, and create new pathways in the brain.
Part memoir, part experiment, and part invitation, Calm in the Chaos is for anyone who has ever felt out of sync with the world — and wondered if sound might offer a way in.
