Cranial Sacred® is Mad Dog Friedman's project to produce music that is truly psychoactive. Put simply, this music is designed to help you experience higher consciousness. Even though the general benefits of sound therapy are widely known (enhanced focus, increased creativity, deep relaxation, mindfulness and heightened body awareness), we are just beginning to understand how this music can be specifically tuned to promote restful and healing deep (dreamless) sleep, trigger lucid dreaming and/or induce altered state of mind. This music honors the shamanic impetus behind indigenous music and sacred traditions while simultaneously exploring powerful new understandings of how music affects our well being. There is a bit of magic afoot here, magic that can rejuvenate the weary, soothe the forlorn, help mend the deep wound and illuminate the always journey.


THE ASTRAL PROJECT is a performance ensemble dedicated to creating mindful music live in the moment. Our music is all spontaneous compositions drawn from the love in the room and often have healing intent. To find out more about T.A.P., please visit our website at www.TheAstralProject.xyz.

How does brainwave synchronization work?  When the brain experiences pulses of sound resonant with the brain’s natural frequencies, the brain tends to to fall into step with the frequency of that stimulus.  This phenomenon is called ‘frequency following response’ or 'brainwave entrainment'.  With brainwave synchronization you can explore altered states of consciousness and access more of your holistic potential.

Really, music that is "truly psychoactive?" Combined with tone modulation, audio filtering, deep dissonance and pulsing resonance, the strategic use of special healing frequencies and attention to the opening of chakra vibrational centers, Cranial Sacred® music is an intuitive sound therapy approach that utilizes live Theremin improvisations and polyphonic synthesis techniques (complex spontaneous and responsive electronic tone generation and harmonic modulation). In addition, The Astral Project album embeds binaural beats targeting specific states of consciousness such as relaxation, lucid dreaming, meditation and deep sleep. Recent additions to the catalog utilize the organic pulsing of wooden flutes to produce similar sedating effects in a form that is quite pleasing. All of this is free for you to enjoy at maddogfriedman.bandcamp.com/community.

Do you have videos that are also psychoactive? Cranial Sacred® Soundscape Visualizations combine the added power of video to promote a more synaesthetic experience that can often amplify the psychoactive effects of the music.

What are the benefits? The enjoyment of this music on a regular basis can provide a lasting benefit to your overall health and well being. In addition, this music can stimulate right brain activity and intrinsic creativity, and may be used by artists to help get into and maintain a creative mental state while working. In addition, it can help create deep relaxation, support optimal wellness, awaken your inner awareness and help with life's transitions.

What people our saying about Cranial Sacred® and New Edge Music:


Touched by Mad Dog Friedman has to be one of the most original and organic albums I have heard for many months, birthed from the heart, mind and soul, here is a solo Native American style flute release that will delight fans of the genre, an album, that if you allow it do so, will take you away to a place of tranquillity and calm, to breathe again. - Steve Sheppard, presenter (DJ) at One World Music Radio (READ FULL ALBUM REVIEW).


I had a wonderful experience. It was positive and reinforcing. I think that the music is what moved me the most and helped me connect. I was able to experience a state of concentration and relaxation, while stimulating the creative part of my brain. I think the different sounds and frequencies made this happen. I believe our brain is more powerful than we know and it has the ability to control everything in our body. I look forward to experiencing this again soon. Thank you so much. ~ Annette Cannon
