Humans
have been wired in a way that they are enchanted in the midst of nature; many
look at nature as an escape for healing yourself and experiencing personal
growth. In fact, even when you glance at that scenery on your desktop’s screen,
you cannot resist appreciating it, for it uplifts your mood. This truly is the
grandeur of nature, and when blended with the music in a surreal video, you are
definitely going to be left spellbound.
Music
and nature are definitely a lethal-combo when it comes to stress-relievers, and
together: their power doubles. Realizing this very fact, Juan Sánchez, a
Barcelona-based pianist, and composer have started uploading mystic videos on
his YouTube channel, combing the splendor of music and grandeur of scenery to
take you on an invigorating journey that is sure to make you feel elevated.
What makes these videos all more archetypal is the music that plays in the
background. The maven pianist uses all his own distinct classical/ambient
style; piano focused theme for the background track, that is breathtaking and
sensational. We thought to ask the mind-blowing pianist and music composer,
Juan Sánchez, what exactly makes music and nature so therapeutic.
Juan Sánchez
reveals that humans admire nature and beautiful places because they provide
sustenance for our lives. “Nature is something that gives us air that we
breathe, food that we devour and shelter that gives us comfort. This
evolutionary desire explains why humans find nature alluring, for it kindles
enthusiasm in us, the enthusiasm to be the ‘fittest,’ for only the fittest
survives,” he says. This awe-inspiring element of nature makes us go through
the process of healing, helping us recoup out of our self-doubts and
self-loath.
With
this attraction, viewing nature in images and videos shifts our sense of self,
diminishing the boundaries we have built within ourselves, assisting us in
discovering our true selves. “Images specifically the nature images, when
included in the video, works to deepen our emotional response to music, that is
the component of our visual language, a significant way to accept our own
emotions, confronting it and emerging ourselves as a strong being,” he
says.
Juan Sánchez
explains that pictures of the natural realm blended with music awaken the awe
and gratitude of the mother nature and our planet, Earth. “This awakening is
essentially vital for people to be mindful of their carbon footprints and to
take care of the world, considering it a valuable place that calms our raging
mind and soothes our negative emotions,” he says.
Undoubtedly,
it is significant to safeguard the place we live in and breathe in, and videos
with music and nature together enable us to live in harmony in this world.
“This harmony does not only mean harmony with the world we live in but also
with the other living things that surrounds us, making us experience the wonder
and exquisiteness of the fascinating nature.
Being a
piano enthusiast, who started taking piano lessons at the conservatoire when he
was only 14, Juan Sánchez is a brilliant pianist who hits the keys right
on-spot, making the strings of your heart vibrate along. When Sánchez’s music
is blended with nature, the videos serve to be an escape from your busy life.
In short, if you are desperately in need of your daily dose of motivation and
spur, then five-minutes long videos by Juan Sánchez are just perfect for you
while not straining your busy schedules.
As
highlighted by the study from the U.S. National Institute of Health, when looking at nature, whether images or real-deal,
gives us a mental sense of being away from the monotonous urban settings, nourishing
our brain to perform better. Juan Sánchez also shares that music is also used
as a therapy for people suffering from mental health illnesses. Therefore, by
combining the therapeutic element of music with the calming impact of nature,
the positive influence of both on the human mind are surged up.
Juan Sánchez
has two albums under his belt, named “Rebirth’ and ‘Now The Silence.’ The
artist has been indulged in crafting instrumental ambient electronic music
since 1999. Since then, he has been creating music for multimedia, sound
libraries, and music producers. Determined to create his own music
compositions, Sánchez crafted his first piece, “Rebirth” in March 2019, which
was produced entirely independently, inspired by the music he had been
listening to a hybrid neo-classical/ambient piano composition. After
discovering his hidden self via music, Juan Sánchez is now obstinate to make
his listeners too, get onto the track of self-development, and, therefore, is
currently working on creating outstanding videos fusing music and nature.
