The title track starts of the EP. Over a relaxed composition we included positive reinforcement narration such as “It’s ok to press pause”, to reinforce to the listener that they are entitled to time to look after their mental state, which is essentially the ethos for the EP. Our research suggested that a lot of students and employees feel guilty for prioritising time for looking after the mind over their “work”. Another, and the main target audience for this track, are parents who experience “parent guilt”.

‘Release’ is a nine-minute composition that includes a guided mediation throughout majority of the track. We wanted to have a track that went for a significant amount of time so it could be played in isolation. For example, someone on their lunch break doesn’t have a twenty-five minutes to listen to the EP start to finish but they could play this track in isolation and have a guided meditation experience over nine minutes.

Track 3, ‘Breathing Control’, is a composition with a guided meditation purely focused on breathing. We included this track as a bit of a “quick fix” for someone in their day-to-day life who is feeling overwhelmed, stressed or anxious. This track is designed to give the listener the opportunity to take a quick two-minute break to centre themselves and calm themselves down.

‘Track 4, ‘FALL’, is the first of the binaural beats. We wanted to do binaural beats because of the beneficial affects they have on a person’s mental state. A difference of 6Hz puts this track into the Theta category. In the Theta differential the frequencies are supposed to help the listener with relaxation, anxiety, REM sleep and putting them in a meditative state.

‘Rise’ is track five and is in the “Alpha” category of binaural beats. In the ‘Alpha’ state the listener is supposed to experience improved relaxation, decreased anxiety and ultimately promote positivity. We wanted this track towards the end of the EP as we want to leave the listener with a positive and uplifted state of mind.

‘Outro’ is the ending of the EP. Towards the end of the EP we want to bring the listener out of their meditative state calmly and smoothly. ‘Outro’ consists of a peaceful and uplifting piano melody and peaceful narration that guides the listener out of their meditative state.
