Tonight on Spiral Emanations: headline science blurs into myth as we dive into stories of brain cells from legendary composer Alvin Lucier playing live music in the lab, and scientists recording real flashes of light—the 'zinc spark'—at the very moment of conception and death. What if these mysterious signals aren’t just biological curiosities, but echoes of an ancient, shattered group-mind—the Sundered Choir—whose lost harmony still haunts birth, death, and our strangest rituals? Special guest Nalini Reva, a hospice music therapist and threshold guide, joins us with breathtaking stories of bedside music, unexplained flashes, and cultures worldwide that remember a time when song could unite souls. Are these new discoveries the first scientific glimpses of the soul’s journey—or just beautiful accidents? And what happens if we try to ‘repair’ the broken harmony? Tune in and be ready for chills, wonder, and a secret history of music, memory, and light.
