There’s a good reason why people love music.
When we practice an instrument, hum quietly to ourselves, or repeat a simple musical phrase, something begins to shift inside us. Music has a remarkable ability to help us process emotions and release tension.
In this episode of the Afterbath Podcast, Mat Creedon explores how music, repetition, and sound can act as a form of meditation and emotional release. Sometimes we’re not overwhelmed by emotions — we’re simply holding onto them too tightly.
Through simple practices like vocal toning, humming, or playing an instrument, sound can help emotions move through the body instead of remaining stuck.
At the end of the episode, Mat shares a gentle sound practice you can try yourself.

Music Is Medicine is a podcast by Mat Creedon — a musician, sound practitioner, and multi-instrumentalist from Melbourne, Australia.
In each episode, Mat explores the deeper relationship between music, emotion, and the human nervous system. Through reflections on songwriting, sound meditation, creativity, and deep listening, the podcast looks at how music can help us process experience, release emotion, and reconnect with ourselves.
Drawing from years of musical practice, sound work, and teaching, these conversations invite listeners to explore a simple but powerful idea:
Music is not only something we listen to.
Sometimes, music is medicine.
