The Wonder Of Lo-fi Music

Hi, I'm Marcus. I'm a lo-fi beatmaker, sound therapist, musician, and educator. I want to take you on a reflective journey into a musical phenomenon called Lo-Fi. Do you remember those rainy days when you had cozy socks on, put your face on the window, skin on the slightly cool glass, and watched the patterns of rain stream down? What was it about that feeling that was magical? That's the kind of feeling lo-fi music carries, warm, faded and nostalgic — born from soul, jazz, blues, and hip-hop, and made by people who picked up whatever was in front of them and started creating. Over the past few years, I've built a large library of lo-fi tracks here on Insight Timer, and along the way, I started noticing why this music keeps drawing so many of us in. I created this short course — seven episodes that wander through what lo-fi is, where its soul comes from, why it works on your nervous system, and how you might bring it into your own life.
