The Rareform Rundown #82

Hello Friends,

Nathan here. I’m excited to share a project we worked on recently, along with a few things that have caught our attention lately, we came across a study on how our taste in music changes as we move through life, and another that looks at how music therapy is helping kids with cerebral palsy in really powerful ways.

Let’s dive in!

New projects + music we are looking for

PROJECTS

New project to share! A track Darby Phillips and I worked on called Heretic from the BSM 31 Mind Games album landed in the trailer for Tron: Ares! Always fun seeing where the music finds its place and big thanks to the team at Disney for having us along for the ride!

Our Rareform On Rotation playlist on Spotify just got a fresh update with some of the tracks we’ve been vibing to lately! Always fun to keep the rotation fresh and share what’s been in the mix lately.

Give it a listen and see what’s been spinning on our end!

Came across a study that dug into how our connection to music changes over time! They looked at years of streaming data and found that the songs we listen to tend to move with us, almost like a reflection of where we are in life. When we’re younger, it’s all about discovery, trying everything, finding what sticks. As time goes on, that curiosity turns into something a little more personal. The songs start to mean more because they carry pieces of our story.

Cool how music grows up with us!

Music has always had a way of connecting with people, but it’s been interesting to see how research is now backing that up in measurable ways. A research explored how structured music programs can support children with cerebral palsy, not just in movement and coordination, but also in improving sleep, emotional balance, and family connection.
