Hypnosedative / Slash

🎶 Hypnosedative Music / Slash – Compositions from the University Hospital of Liège (CHU Liège)

A New Dimension in Music Therapy

7 long musical suites

Discover a unique sound universe designed to restore balance between body, mind, and emotions.
Born from extensive research on the interactions between music and physiology, these compositions offer a deeply soothing and regenerative listening experience.

The seven musical suites, lasting from 16 to 28 minutes, are hypnosedative “Slash” compositions developed at the University Hospital of Liège (CHU Liège).
They subtly combine the richness of traditional instrumental music with the precision of computer-assisted music (CAM) and professional studio production.

These works were specially designed to support individuals facing anxiety, sleep disorders, pain, or various psychosomatic imbalances — acting simultaneously on bodily biorhythms and inner emotional states.

🎧 Mixed and remastered in a professional studio, these seven compositions nevertheless preserve the warmth of an artisanal creation, faithful to their original spirit.

An Innovative Technique Based on Biorhythms

Each piece acts on breathing, heart rate, and muscle tension.
By gradually reducing tempo and sound energy, the music aligns with human biorhythms and induces a natural state of deep relaxation.

This approach unites neuroscience, sound physics, and musical creativity.

Inspired by Professor Faymonville’s Hypnosedation Method

These compositions are based on the seven hypnosis metaphors developed by Professor Marie-Elisabeth Faymonville, a pioneer of medical hypnosis in Europe.

Each metaphor gives the piece a particular depth, enhanced by precise musical intentions designed to offer an immersive and soothing experience.

Used in Hospital Settings

For several years, these compositions have been integrated into the hypnosedation protocols of the University Hospital of Liège (CHU Liège).
However, CHU Liège no longer holds an exclusive license, and the hypnosedative music is now available to:

Healthcare institutions
Music therapists and hypnosis practitioners
The general public wishing to explore their calming effects

Scientifically Validated Effectiveness

These compositions have been evaluated by the GIGA Conscious Care Lab at the University of Liège.
Published research — notably in PLOS ONE — has demonstrated their positive impact on anxiety management, pain reduction, and overall patient well-being.
